TruePosition Wins Patent Infringement Litigation Against Andrew Corporation
September 18, 2007


Jury Finds for TruePosition on All Counts; Awards
TruePosition $45.3 million; Determines Willful Infringement
Exists


    BERWYN, Pa., Sept. 18 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- 

    TruePosition, Inc., a leading provider of wireless
location technologies and solutions and a subsidiary of
Liberty Media Corporation, today announced that
TruePosition has won a patent infringement suit against
Andrew Corporation in the United States District Court in
the District of Delaware, TruePosition, Inc. v. Andrew
Corporation (Civ. No. 05-747-SLR).

    On September 14, after a trial lasting two weeks, the
jury found for TruePosition on all counts and awarded it
$45.3 million for Andrew Corporation's willful infringement
of its intellectual property.

    This is the second time that TruePosition has
successfully defended its intellectual property rights
against Andrew Corporation.  In this case, TruePosition
sued Andrew Corporation for infringing a patent dealing
with the location of wireless phones using the wireless
network control channel, known as the "144" or
"control channel" patent, which is particularly
important for safety and security applications. This suit
focused primarily on infringement related to contracts that
Andrew Corporation entered into with a customer in Saudi
Arabia.

    "TruePosition is extremely pleased with the jury's
decisive verdict in a case that deals with such advanced
technology.  This verdict is testament to the value -- and
the importance -- of the intellectual property that
TruePosition creates," said Frederic Beckley, Senior
Vice President and General Counsel of TruePosition.

    TruePosition previously sued Andrew Corporation for
infringing other patents.  In a 2004 settlement, Andrew
agreed to pay TruePosition total compensation amounting to
$42 million. In 2001, TruePosition also prevailed in an
infringement suit against SigmaOne Communications Corp. in
a case that involved the same patent at issue in the most
recent suit against Andrew Corporation.  TruePosition was
represented by Woodcock Washburn LLP in all three actions.

    "We will continue to vigorously enforce and
protect TruePosition's exceptional innovations in wireless
location technology," said Stephen Stuut, CEO of
TruePosition. "This win illustrates our obligation to
continuously deliver pioneering next generation safety
solutions and other wireless location solutions to wireless
providers and their customers."
