MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS, BARCELONA, Spain, February 13, 2008 - ARC International
(LSE: ARK) today announced that NextWave Wireless Inc. (Nasdaq: WAVE), a global
provider of mobile multimedia and broadband technologies, has taken a license
for a configurable ARC solution to be incorporated into NextWave's innovative
Mobile TV receiver solution, which will be used as part of an integrated TDtv
System in Package.  Announced today as part of NextWave's TDtv Device
Integration Pack at Mobile World Congress (3GSM) in Barcelona, Spain, the TDtv
SIP provides an easy solution to TDtv enable handsets and other devices. TDtv
provides operators with a means of using existing 3G spectrum to deliver Mobile
TV to consumers anywhere and anytime on any TDtv-enabled device while traveling
at high speeds. This is part of a series of ARC customer announcements made
today focused on the high-growth Mobile TV market. See related announcements
dated February 13, 2008 from ARC International.

TDtv is a powerful 3GPP MBMS solution that provides mobile operators an
opportunity to profitably deliver up to 28 high-resolution TV channels, digital
audio channels, and other IP data-cast services to an unlimited number of
concurrent customers. By operating on existing 3G spectrum and with the unique
ability to support multi-carrier spectrum pooling and network sharing, TDtv
represents a breakthrough in reducing the cost of implementing mobile television
and provides UMTS operators around the world with a powerful multimedia and
advertising platform.

"We have been using the configurable ARC 725D to create three generations of 3G
wireless broadband products, and we have been very pleased with how easy it is
to configure to exactly meet our performance and power consumption needs,"
explained Roger Nichol, chief development officer at NextWave Network Products,
a division of NextWave Wireless. "The new configurable ARC solution provides us
with an extremely compact, low power solution for this battery powered
application."

"NextWave is an excellent example of a customer that uses our configurable
technology to innovate and create unique solutions for the mobile broadcast and
multimedia market," said Bill Jackson, vice president of marketing at ARC.  "
Consumers are increasingly being provided multimedia access through WiFi and
WiMAX hot spots and transportable content in flash memory.  Mobile TV represents
an emerging large volume market as consumers continue to drive system
manufacturers for continuous multimedia content access anytime and anywhere.
The three announcements today from customers targeting the Mobile TV market
reflect ARC's strategy of enabling customers to deliver an enhanced user
experience to consumers in high volume applications."


About TDtv

TDtv is a 3GPP MBMS solution that provides mobile operators an opportunity to
profitably deliver multiple, high-resolution TV channels, digital audio, or
other IP data-cast services to an unlimited number of concurrent customers.  In
2007, Vodafone, Telefonica, Orange, 3UK, and IPWireless announced successful
results from a joint technical trial of TDtv in Bristol. The trial demonstrated
TDtv's ability to reliably deliver a large number of high-quality channels in 5
MHz of TDD spectrum with coverage comparable to WCDMA, but with far fewer cell
sites. The trial also demonstrated the viability of dual-mode TDtv/WCDMA
handsets as well as the ability of the technology to support full mobility at
vehicular speeds. IPWireless was acquired by NextWave Wireless in May, 2007 and
now operates as part of NextWave Wireless.

TDtv operates in the universal unpaired (TDD) 3G spectrum bands that are
available across Europe and Asia at 1900 MHz and 2010 MHz. It enables UMTS
operators to utilize their existing TDD spectrum to offer subscribers attractive
mobile TV and multimedia packages without impacting their 3G voice and data
services which use universal paired (FDD) 3G spectrum. In addition, the
technology supports network sharing to further reduce deployment and operational
costs.
