SILVER SPRING, Md., Sept. 28 -- WorldCell announced today that it has opened a new subsidiary in Japan, WorldCell Japan, Inc. The new operation is focused on delivering WorldCell's portfolio of managed wireless services to one of its core customers, the US Military, which has over 30,000 active troops in Japan and Okinawa.



The team will be led by Kimiaki Ueno, who joins WorldCell as President and Representative Director of WorldCell Japan. Mr. Ueno has over 35 years experience in the global telecommunications industry, most recently as CEO and founder of GES Communications Corporation. Prior to establishing GES Communications, Mr. Ueno was President and CEO of WorldCom Japan Group companies (MCI WorldCom Japan, UUNet Japan).

"As Japan is one of the world's largest mobile markets, WorldCell recognizes the need to establish a local presence to service its already strong US Military customer," explains Greg Buckman, WorldCell's Vice- President of Sales and Marketing. "By establishing a full-service office locally, we will be able to provide our government customers with the high- quality customer care and service delivery that they have come to expect from WorldCell."

WorldCell is currently the leading provider of voice and data services, including BlackBerry, to the US Government outside the United States. WorldCell holds multiple government contracts such as: DITCO-Europe, USAFE- Europe, GSA and the ITEC-4 BPA, in addition to over 20 individual agency contracts. The expansion of WorldCell's office into Japan will enable the organization to expand service into the Pacific-Rim in order to continue to serve the US military with their mission-critical wireless communications.

Blake Swensrud, WorldCell's founder and Chief Executive Officer states, "I am thrilled to be entering this market with Mr. Ueno leading the local operations as he has an extensive telecommunications background and world- class experience in the Japanese market."

"WorldCell recognizes that establishing a local presence in Japan enables the organization to better serve the US Military, and its expanding customer base," explains Mr. Ueno, President and Representative Director of WorldCell Japan, Inc. "I am confident that the expansion into this region will yield strong results for the organization."
