JABRA to Relocate, Consolidate and Expand U.S. Operations in Response to
Continued Growth 


SAN DIEGO, May 14  /PRNewswire/ -- JABRA, the leading brand of hands-free
communication solutions for the mobile consumer market including industry
leading Bluetooth(R) headsets, announced today that due to its continued
growth, need for capacity and more efficient operations to meet customer needs,
it will consolidate, relocate and expand its U.S. operations from San Diego to
Chicago.

"This move signals continued investment in support of the exceptional growth
that JABRA is experiencing," said Morten Steen-Jorgensen, executive vice
president of JABRA.  "Moving our North American operations to a central
location means that we will be better positioned to serve our customers and
have the necessary infrastructure for continued growth."

JABRA will continue to operate its marketing functions in San Diego as it
transitions all other functions to the new Chicago-based office.  JABRA plans
to complete the transition by the end of August.

As part of the effort to provide better end user support, JABRA's call center
function, currently operated out of San Diego, will be integrated into Nashua,
N.H.-based Hello Direct, a part of GN Netcom, which JABRA is a part of.  The
synergy and specialized center of excellence that Hello Direct will provide
means that end customers will receive more efficient and professional support
for JABRA products.  The JABRA North America operations in Chicago will provide
more resources for local sales and marketing activities.

"The move and investment we are making is in line with the growth strategy and
plan for U.S. operations," said David Hogan, JABRA vice president of sales and
marketing for North America.  "This move is anticipated to enable JABRA to
expand its North American sales and marketing workforce to manage its growth as
the company's market share continues to increase."
