April 8,2009	Press Release SafeCell solves the problem of in-flight Cell Phone use in the USA Melbourne Australia, April 8, 2009: SafeCell (Patent Pending) provides an alternative approach for corporate jet passengers to use their cell phones onboard aircraft without the requirement for installing complex and expensive GSM Picocell network infrastructure and jamming systems. Ron Chapman the inventor of SafeCell and CEO stated that “What we have successfully achieved is an in-flight cell phone solution that is, 95% cheaper, 90% lighter and less than half communication cost of the existing systems and unlike its competitors, does not require Telco approval.” SafeCell is a software application installed on a cell phone, which operates in flight or offline mode and takes control of the cell phone to communicate via Bluetooth, instead of GSM. SafeCell connects the cell phone to the Iridium satellite network, which is outside the global cellular roaming network. The benefit of this approach is obvious; SafeCell does not incur global roaming charges just because it is in the air. As for value, a voice call via SafeCell costs $1.00 per minute, compared to other-system calls (They can cost up to $5.00 per minute). SMS starts at 25 cents. The system also accommodates news updates and text email. One of the major issues in developing any aircraft system, is how do you test the system without modifying the aircraft and this is where SafeCell is really unique. If you already have an Iridium system (currently 18,000 aircraft do) ASiQ has developed a simple solution using a laptop or UMPC with Bluetooth dongle. The system works just the same as a permanent installation and has been in operation now for three months on a Falcon2000ex. SafeCell comes in two modules Data and Voice. Laptop/UMPC systems providing the full messaging capability will be available in April. Also any existing certified PC can host SafeCell, as long as it has either an Ethernet or USB connection for a Bluetooth dongle. ASiQ is developing a new low cost access point with voice capability that should be available in the next quarter and will be certified and manufactured in the USA. The basic SafeCell messaging solution provides SMS/MMS and Text email (which can also accommodate in-flight news updates) and starts at US $10K for the aircraft equipment. For $20K SafeCell will include our new voice capability. New cell phones are provided as part of each system installation and high quality noise canceling wireless headsets are included with the voice option. “If you think the Bizjet system is unique, wait until we release the airline system! For those airlines who cannot afford an entertainment system and do not want to pay up to $500K for an existing mobile phone solution, SafeCell will be the answer" For further info Contact Ron.Chapman@asiq.com  www.asiq.com

September 14 2007   Top of Page	Press Release SafeCell In-Flight Cell Phone System Flight Tested --(MARKETWIRE)--ASI Entertainment, Inc. (OTCBB:ASIQ) announced today that it has flight tested SafeCell, the company's patent-pending in-flight cell phone system. Ron Chapman, ASI's CEO, stated, "The SafeCell flight test was a world first using a completely portable test kit that required no approval or hardware interfaced to the aircraft systems. The test was conducted on a corporate aircraft over two, one-hour flights. Cell phones were housed in the SafeCell-shielded leather pouches to prevent them from interfering with the aircraft or ground networks. We used suction caps to attach an aviation-certified 3-inch antenna to the aircraft window and connected it via the Iridium global satellite constellation. The SafeCell software connects the cell phone via Bluetooth and WiFi as they are documented or certified as safe for use in aircraft. All SMSs transmitted were delivered. "From the flight test we recognised that SafeCell's SMS service is not only an ideal low-cost solution for airlines, but also for corporate jet passengers and pilots. "The portable demonstrator is the size of a small briefcase and was created as an easy way for an airlines and now corporate jets, to flight test the system." A SafeCell system will start from $10K and each SMS will cost as little as 25 cents. The new flight demonstrator will be on display at the World Airlines Entertainment Association "WAEA" Exhibition and Conference held in Toronto 17th - 20th September.
