IGW Software Signs License Agreement Adding Phantom
Fiber's Advanced Wireless Framework to Its
Comprehensive Suite of Turnkey Solutions
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(CCNMatthews - Jan. 18, 2005) -
Phantom Fiber's Advanced Wireless Framework enhances IGW's unique series
of value-added 'bolt-on' products for operators.
Phantom Fiber Corporation (OTCBB:PHMF), the leading provider of secure
wireless technology and mobile solutions, is pleased to announce that
IGW Software, N.V. a subsidiary of Global Entertainment
Holdings/Equities, Inc. (OTCBB:GAMM), has signed a five-year license
agreement with the Company. Under the terms of the agreement, IGW
Software will offer mobile solutions using Phantom Fiber's advanced
wireless framework to its sportsbook, racebook and casino operators
worldwide. Phantom Fiber's strong reputation for delivering a robust,
leading edge wireless framework that simply 'bolts on' to existing
infrastructure fits perfectly within IGW Software's philosophy for
delivering seamless and integrated product suites to its licensee base.
IGW's product suite includes a sportsbook, racebook and casino - key
products integrated into one back-office environment and augmented by
IGW's unique series of value-added bolt-on products. These independent
tools work as standalone modules, or work in conjunction with the
company's core gaming environments, thus allowing gaming operators
greater control to increase hold percentage, and improve their rate of
return. IGW's risk management suite, loyalty management engine,
management information suite and other add-on modules deliver critical
intelligence for gaming operators to make sounder decisions to increase
the profitability of their on-line gaming business.
IGW Software's mobile solutions suite enables operators to extend their
wagering service beyond the desktop PC or telephone through
browser-based phones in addition to mobile devices powered by Windows
Mobile's PocketPC Phone Edition and Smartphone, PalmOS, SymbianOS and
RIM Blackberry - allowing them to market their wireless service to a
global audience with access to mobile devices totalling 600+ models
worldwide.
Bryan Abboud, President for IGW Software said, "Phantom Fiber is a real
solution that meets our philosophy for delivering value-added products
to our customer base. As well, Phantom Fiber's growing support of mobile
platforms and devices ensures our clients a vast potential audience.
IGW's clients are now firmly positioned to take advantage of the
positive trend in mobile wagering."
Jeff Halloran, President and CEO for Phantom Fiber commented, "When we
developed our framework, our philosophy was that mobile enablement
should not come at the expense of complexity. Like IGW, we believe that
any solution that extends functionality should seamlessly bolt-on to
existing infrastructure to ensure speed-to-market and maximum return on
investment. Many of our existing client relationships have resulted in a
'shock and awe' response with respect to our advanced wireless framework
and its seamless integration to existing systems. We're proud to have
partnered with another solid technology vendor such as IGW Software and
are excited that their mobile solutions suite will enable sportsbook,
racebook and casino operators to capture a worldwide audience in a short
period of time."

solutions, Phantom Fiber has launched an innovative wireless software
framework that empowers enterprises to efficiently deploy commercial and
productivity applications with high performance functionality onto
