First Woman, Arlene Harris, Inducted Into Wireless Hall of Fame
"First Lady of Wireless" and Creator of Jitterbug, Joins Renowned Wireless Industry Icons

Del Mar, Calif. – May 31, 2007 – The co-founder and CEO of GreatCall, Inc., Arlene Harris, became the first female innovator ever inducted into the RCR Wireless News Hall of Fame. Announced last Saturday, the Hall of Fame honor recognizes Harris’ significant contributions to the development and advancement of wireless communications, including innovation of the first automation to manage paging as well as mobile telephone and cellular businesses in the fledgling wireless industries, starting as early as 1973.

Much of her early work provides a template for the way most wireless businesses are run today. Pieces of what she innovated now make up entire companies and categories in the wireless industry. Arlene started several companies, including what became Convergys (CVG), and created early cellular standards - including the method by which carriers provide roaming services - while she served on several committees of the FCC and TIA. More recently, she set her sights on serving the underserved with SOS Wireless, a cellular service for emergencies. Today, she champions her innovation at GreatCall, with its Jitterbug™ that provides easy to use, personalized cellular services with phones made exclusively by Samsung. GreatCall launched Jitterbug late last year to serve consumers seeking simplicity. GreatCall won the Andrew Seybold Choice Award for “Best New Company” earlier this year. Harris also has served as advisor and on the Boards of many start-up companies in addition to holding several issued and pending patents in wireless communications.

The May 28 issue of RCR Wireless News profiles Harris and her 45 year wireless career, from ICS Communications (now USA Mobility) to the early days of LifePage to her current effort with GreatCall to simplify mobile technology. “It’s only fitting that Arlene Harris should be the first woman inducted into the Hall of Fame,” said Tracy Ford, editor and associate publisher of RCR Wireless News. “Along with her many successful and varied business endeavors, I admire Arlene most for her efforts to get pagers into the hands of organ transplant candidates. Arlene showed how wireless technology can be used to help people during some of the most trying moments of their lives.”

“It is incredibly humbling to be inducted, with my friend Jay Kitchen, into the Wireless Hall of Fame this year, joining the ranks of so many friends and great wireless industry pioneers, including my husband Marty Cooper,” says Harris. “I am indebted to my family, who gave me my first opportunities to innovate. And I’m blessed to have worked in this exciting industry from almost its infancy with so many wonderful and talented people who have helped make my innovations happen. Many thanks to those who found my work worthy of this lovely recognition.”
