AMBIENT DEVICES AND .406 VENTURES ANNOUNCE EQUITY PARTNERSHIP

Investment Marks First Institutional Round For Ambient

Cambridge, MA, September 15, 2008 – Ambient Devices has entered into an equity partnership with .406 Ventures. The deal closed September 10, 2008. Ambient’s current senior management team, which includes founders Pritesh Gandhi, COO, and Ben Resner, CTO, will continue to lead the company. The partnership will enable Ambient to accelerate product development, brand awareness, and market leadership for its award-winning dedicated wireless information displays.

“The Ambient team has successfully built high-growth branded and licensing businesses based on the valuable and unique consumer benefit of dedicated information at a glance,” said Carl Yankowski, Ambient CEO. “The Company’s achievements to date have been without any institutional investment, which is highly unusual, and underscores quality products and a quality team. The time was right to add an aligned institutional investor to our shareholder base to help accelerate our growth. We are delighted that .406 has committed both its capital and business expertise to Ambient. We also thank our current investors for their strong and continued support.”

“Ambient is positioned to be the leader in a new category of wireless products that enhance satisfaction and productivity in key applications for the personal, home, office, and mobile markets,” said Larry Begley, .406 Managing Director. “We are excited to partner with Carl Yankowski and the entire Ambient team as they build upon the company’s momentum for dedicated, easy to use information displays and wireless consumer electronics.”

Ambient was recently included in Inc. Magazine’s list of the 5000 fastest growing companies in America for 2008, and has been recognized by the Consumer Electronics Association as an Innovations Award winner for its 7-Day Weather Forecaster. All Ambient products, including Baseball and Football ScoreCast, the Market Maven, the 7-Day Forecaster, and the Ambient Umbrella, receive data from Ambient’s InfoCast Network, which reaches over 90% of U.S. households.
