                 Abilis Systems' ARC-Based(TM) Mobile TV Solution
                      Is World's Smallest DVB-H/T Receiver


MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS, BARCELONA, Spain, February 13, 2008 - ARC International
(LSE: ARK) today announced that Abilis Systems, a Kudelski Group company, is
using ARC technology in the world's smallest digital mobile TV receiver for
DVB-H/T applications.  The new AS-101 is produced in a 5mm x 5mm CSP package and
integrates multi-band RF tuner, advanced OFDM demodulator, memory and interfaces
onto a single 90nm CMOS die, with the receiver performance surpassing the MBRAI
2 and Nordig 1.0.3 specifications.  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.

"ARC's configurable cores enable us to build a powerful solution that addresses
multiple Mobile TV markets and multiple standards," explained Eric Gouze, head
of business development at Abilis Systems. "Furthermore, we can integrate the
entire digital TV receiver into a single antenna-to-digital chip, thus reducing
design and production costs and lowering overall power consumption of the
system."

"The three announcements today from customers targeting the Mobile TV market
reflects ARC's strategy of enabling customers to deliver an enhanced user
experience to consumers in high volume applications," said Bill Jackson, vice
president of marketing at ARC.  "Consumers are unimpressed by technology but
willingly pay for features that enhance their multimedia experience.  Along with
ubiquitous connectivity via WiFi and WiMAX hot spots, transportable content in
flash memory, Mobile TV represents one of the most promising unit volume growth
markets as consumers continue to drive OEMs for devices that allow them
continuous multimedia content access anytime and anywhere."
