Parrot Introduces its First Wireless Hands-Free Music Kit for Motorcyclists: the Parrot SK4000

A Bluetooth®-enabled helmet headset brings comfort and ease of use to motorcyclists

LAS VEGAS, Oct 30, 2007 (SEMA SHOW) - Parrot, leader in wireless peripherals around the mobile phone, today launched the Parrot SK4000, a Bluetooth hands-free motorcycle kit that features FM RDS radio and wireless mobile remote control. The Parrot SK4000 uses innovative noise reduction and echo cancellation technology and provides the widest range of features available in this market segment.

Motorcyclists can now switch between their favorite songs -- whatever the format -- and answer
calls with the clip-on wireless remote fixed to the motorcycle's left handlebar. The Parrot SK4000
offers the motorcyclist the ability to listen to streaming music via Bluetooth A2DP, or on the FM
radio (RDS inside) or from analog sources via its mini-USB line-in connector.

The Parrot SK4000 uses Parrot's new multi-speaker voice recognition software, which eliminates the need to record voice tags: the kit will recognize the contact's name spoken by whoever is using the kit and will dial the number automatically. Also, the unique Text-to-Speech (TTS) voice synthesis feature reads contact names from the user's phonebook through the earpiece and will also audibly identify radio stations to help the user select a station without taking his hands of the handlebar.

"With simplicity in design, the Parrot SK4000 upgrades a standard motorcycle helmet to a multifunctional wireless hands-free kit," says Ed Valdez, president and COO of Parrot, Inc. "With nearly 6 million motorcycles in use throughout the US, the Parrot SK4000 enables their riders to enjoy convenient phone communication and wireless music either from their own digital files or from the radio station of their choice."

The Parrot SK4000 kit mounts easily in most motorcycle helmets and its rechargeable lithiumion
battery provides 10-hours of talk time. The handle-bar mounted wireless remote control allows the driver to select the sound source, handle calls and choose music. The kit also has automatic volume setting which adjusts to the surroundings and automatic phone book synchronization to allow for voice-activated dialing.

Like all Parrot car-kits, the Parrot SK4000 is compatible with virtually all Bluetooth mobile phones on the market. It is expected to be available in the second quarter of 2008 and retail for $189.99. For more information, visit our website: www.parrot.com Technical specifications of the Parrot SK4000

ABOUT PARROT
Founded in 1994, Parrot has rapidly established itself as a pivotal global player for wireless mobile telephone accessories. Drawing on its tried-and-tested expertise on voice recognition and signal processing technologies, Parrot was one of the very first companies to produce Bluetooth®-based wireless hands free car kits, having identified this standard's vast potential as early as 1999. In 2006, Parrot sold about 3 million units. Determined to accompany the wireless peripherals'  rresistible breakthrough into our day-to-day lives, Parrot has been developing since 2006 a new wireless range of sound and image products. Today, Parrot truly has a major international focus: 90.5% of its sales are generated outside of France, and a large percentage of its production is outsourced to carefully selected partners, enabling it to achieve the best possible level of quality and responsiveness. Parrot is now particularly well positioned to capitalize on the bright future opening up for mobile telephone devices. Parrot has achieved strong growth in its consolidated revenues, up from 80.9 million Euros pro forma in 2005 to 166.9 million Euros in 2006.
