Powered by NAVTEQ's industry leading maps data, Nokia will redefine the Internet and connected experiences by adding context - time, place, people - to web services optimized for mobility. By bringing context to Internet services, Nokia will lead the next generation of web innovation.

"Nokia and NAVTEQ together make a powerful combination, and customers will benefit as the transaction enables NAVTEQ to accelerate its expansion into new regions and introduce innovative new content. This is an industry poised for further growth and NAVTEQ will play a major role in the field," said Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, President and CEO, Nokia. "The addition of NAVTEQ comes at the right time for Nokia's business, allowing us to create the leading location platform just as context-aware and location-based Internet services expand rapidly into mobile communications devices."

Judson Green, President and CEO of NAVTEQ, said: "Nokia has a deep understanding of the requirements for the industry. As part of Nokia, NAVTEQ will further invest in its map and content capabilities and make our products and services easier for all our customers to use and access."

NAVTEQ is a leading provider of comprehensive digital map data for automotive navigation systems, mobile navigation devices, Internet-based mapping applications, and government and business solutions. NAVTEQ creates the digital maps and map content that power navigation and location-based services solutions around the world. The Chicago-based company was founded in 1985 and has approximately 3 000 employees located in 168 offices in 30 countries.

"NAVTEQ's map data already play an important role in Nokia Maps service, which brings downloadable maps, voice-guided navigation and other context-aware web services to people's pockets. Now that the acquisition has been completed, this role will become even more important as context-aware Internet services grow," added Niklas Savander, Executive Vice President for Services & Software, Nokia.

Nokia Maps covers over 200 countries, with over 70 of them navigable. Nokia Maps 2.0 has improved its optional Car Navigation, enhanced its pedestrian navigation, added multimedia city guides, offers satellite images, and is sporting a redesigned user interface.

Air Methods is the nation's largest provider of air medical emergency transport services and systems. With 28 years of experience, the company transports more than 98,000 patients annually on its fleet of more than 340 helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft in 42 states. In mid-2007, Air Methods issued an RFP to architect a more sophisticated, easy-to-use dispatch center to enhance business operations. The company wanted a new, robust console that would be compatible with its existing voice and data systems, including the voice logging recorder they intended to keep in service.

With Siemens' HiPath 4000(R) real-time IP communications system and HiPath ProCenter(R) as the backbone, the solution treats radio calls as telephony, so both types of calls can be routed from a single console. This will streamline the company's communications and simplify its radio infrastructure, as well as make it easy to integrate multiple locations and future potential acquisitions.

"Siemens and Windstream crafted a solution that met our expectations to deliver a truly unique offering that integrated our radio and telephony needs," said Curtis Morice, director of LifeCom, Air Methods' national communications center. "This solution transformed our overall communications infrastructure, making it much easier to manage, saving us time and allowing us to respond more efficiently to calls."

The Siemens solution also provides Air Methods with a greater level of redundancy, offering more assurance that their communications systems are always functional. Ongoing support from Windstream will also help ensure that Air Methods' rollout will proceed smoothly.

"Windstream and Siemens collaborated to design a creative solution that addressed Air Methods' unique needs," said Cheryl Krueger, Area Vice President, Business, for Windstream. "I'm happy to say this was one of the best teams I've been a part of."

"This solution exemplifies the ideal of open communications - it transforms the way Air Methods manages it communications and combines radio and telephony needs in a way no one else can do," said Shawn Puddester, U.S. Director of Channel Sales and Development for Siemens Communications, Inc. "Working closely with Windstream, we have been able to deliver a truly superior solution that will keep Air Methods' national communications center state-of-the-art for years to come."
