Akustica Expands Sales Footprint Into Korea

Apache Korea and Uniquest to Distribute CMOS MEMS Microphones

PITTSBURGH, PA -- (MARKET WIRE), 18 November 2008 -- Akustica, Inc., the
pioneer in acoustic system-on-chip solutions, has appointed Apache
Korea and Uniquest to provide sales, marketing, and technical support
for Akustica's microphones in Korea. These new distributors join
Akustica's lineup of sales teams already working in North America,
Japan and China.

"This year, Akustica entered the mobile phone market by introducing
the AKU1126," stated Mike Elchik, vice president of sales at Akustica.
"Akustica is pleased to be working with Apache and Uniquest to
provide the best local support to our customers for this and the rest
of our microphone portfolio in this key geographic region."

Akustica recently announced two new microphones based on its
proprietary CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) MEMS
(microelectromechanical systems) technology: the analog AKU1126
targeted at mobile phones and headsets and the digital AKU2002C for
laptops and other applications. The AKU1126 2mm x 2mm analog
microphone enables handset and headset manufacturers to provide
enhanced ambient noise suppression by integrating multiple
microphones into the same footprint that a single microphone uses
today. The AKU2002C digital microphone provides a high degree of
immunity from RF (Radio Frequency) and EM (Electromagnetic)
interference on the audio path for applications in which the
microphone is co-located with power supplies and/or multiple radios.
Both of these microphones leverage Akustica's unique ability to
integrate the transducer and accompanying electronics into a tiny 1mm
x 1mm microphone die.
