Internet Pictures Corporation (Nasdaq: IPIX), the global leader in mission
critical imaging solutions, today announced a significant agreement with
Emirates Venture Group (EVG), headquartered in Dubai, UAE, for distribution of
iPIX(R) products and services in the United Arab Emirates and neighboring
Middle Eastern countries. 
The terms of the agreement include distribution of
all product lines including immersive stills, immersive video and Rimfire(TM)
content management solutions.
 
EVG is the first company to partner with iPIX as part of the Company`s new
International distributor program.  Through the program, iPIX is entering into
exclusive regional distributorships for the complete line of the iPIX product
offering.  iPIX receives fees and recurring revenues from the multi-year
agreement.  This business alliance will leverage the expertise of the regional
partner to proliferate the use of iPIX technology.
 
“Our agreement with iPIX represents an extension of Emirates Venture
Group`s partnership policy of forming alliances with world leaders in
information technology,” said Wadi Ahmed, Group Marketing Director of EVG.
“Our research shows that iPIX leads the field of imaging solutions.  This
venture will allow us to have the advantage of marketing the best immersive
imaging and content management technology throughout the Middle East—giving
many people the opportunity to use the Internet in a way they never realized
possible.”
 
The agreement provides EVG with distributorship of iPIX products and
services in the United Arab Emirates and neighboring countries including Saudi
Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Egypt, Jordan, Pakistan, Tunisia and Morocco.  EVG will
set-up country-by-country channel partners to sell and market iPIX imaging
solutions into these international markets.  They will target vertical markets
rapidly moving to the Internet and those increasing their use of digital
imaging including auctions and classifieds, security and observation, travel
and hospitality and Internet content providers.
 
“EVG`s distributorship is an important step in our worldwide strategy to
partner with leaders in fast-developing international markets,” said Don
Strickland, President and CEO of iPIX.  “This agreement is a model for rapidly
deploying our imaging technologies into regions of the world that would
normally require significant time and effort for market development.”
  Through the agreement with EVG in Dubai, iPIX is joining a rapidly growing
number of American technology companies, such as Microsoft, Oracle, SAP and
Intel doing business in the United Arab Emirates.
