Tesacom, Stratos and Addvalue Support Brazilian Elections with BGAN Mobile Satellite Service
--World’s largest BGAN deployment ensured secure transmission of election results-- Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (October 7, 2008) – Tesacom, Stratos Global Corp. and Addvalue Communications today announced they joined forces to successfully deploy a 1,200-site BGAN mobile satellite network to support the first round of Brazil’s municipal elections on October 5th. Stratos, based in Bethesda, Maryland, is the leading global provider of advanced mobile and fixed-site remote communications solutions. Tesacom, a StratosELITE Partner, is South America’s leading provider of remote telecommunications solutions. Addvalue, based in Singapore, is a leading designer and supplier of BGAN terminals. Tesacom was selected by the Brazilian Electoral Superior Court (TSE) to deploy the BGAN network at voting precincts in rural communities nationwide. TSE’s selection of Tesacom represents the world’s largest single contract for the purchase of the BGAN service. The BGAN systems quickly transmitted encrypted electoral results from local precincts to TSE’s headquarters in Brasilia. The systems also supported voice and high-speed data connectivity for elections officials at the precincts. Stratos is one of the world’s largest distributors of Inmarsat’s BGAN (Broadband Global Area Network) service, a mobile satellite offering that uses portable, lightweight terminals to provide simultaneous, high-speed data (up to 492 kbps) and voice connectivity anywhere in the world. BGAN is ideally suited to enable communications in areas where terrestrial or cellular networks are damaged, congested, or non-existent. Since its introduction in 2006, BGAN from Stratos has been widely adopted by military & NGO agencies, media organizations, first responders and professionals in many other industries worldwide. Stratos now boasts BGAN customers in 185 countries, which cover 95 percent of the BGAN footprint. Tesacom CEO Jose Sanchez Elia said, “Being selected by TSE to provide such a technologically advanced communications solution reinforces our leadership position in the region. Our BGAN solution, which includes the dedicated support of Stratos and Addvalue, helped ensure that reliable results were rapidly transmitted from rural districts throughout Brazil.” As part of its integrated service offering, Tesacom is working to ensure that its BGAN customers fully utilize The Stratos Advantage, a suite of value-added services that help make BGAN usage more productive and affordable. These value-added services provide users with cost control, firewall management, full traffic information, pre-paid facilities, high security options, easy VPN access, messaging services and full IP range. “For years, BGAN from Stratos has offered customized service delivery, performance and productivity to many demanding organizations worldwide,” said Stratos President and CEO Jim Parm. “It is gratifying to demonstrate how BGAN and The Stratos Advantage can help support a high level of electoral efficiency and fairness for all of Brazil.”2 / 2
Many BGAN networks worldwide utilize the Wideye SABRE 1 terminal from Addvalue. The SABRE 1 is a robust, easy-to-use terminal offering flexible interface options. It features built-in Ethernet/LAN and RJ11 phone interfaces and can simultaneously support one voice call and one data session. Addvalue affirmed its capabilities and showed its commitment to TSE customer satisfaction by providing Tesacom with a very high level of service and support within a short time frame. “With the SABRE 1, we have developed a BGAN terminal that is capable of meeting the remote communications requirements of most organizations," said Addvalue Chairman & CEO Dr. Colin Chan. “Our experience working closely with Tesacom and Stratos on this important project has provided us with valuable insight in Latin America and will facilitate our growth in this rapidly growing market.”

NEWS RELEASE -
ADDVALUE AND GERMAN-BASED IMST ENTER INTO DESIGN
COLLABORATION TO DEVELOP LAND MOBILE AND MARITIME
BGAN TERMINALS
Singapore, 20 September 2007 ?
subsidiary of Addvalue Technologies Ltd, enters into an Memorandum of
Understanding ( ?MoU? ) with IMST GmbH, a company established in Germany, to
jointly develop land mobile and maritime BGAN terminals targeting the fast growing
land mobile and maritime markets.
Under the MoU, Addvalue and IMST will jointly develop land mobile and maritime
BGAN terminals using a mechanically steered antenna solution. In addition, the
collaboration will also extend to the development of land mobile and maritime BGAN
terminals using the state-of-the-art electronic-steered antenna. The electronicsteered
antenna is expected to be significantly cheaper over the lifetime, and much
more reliable compared to the mechanically steered antenna.
This collaboration is a win-win partnership between both companies as Addvalue?s
expertise in BGAN technology compliments IMST?s land mobile and maritime
antenna design technology and expertise.
The mobile satellite communications services industry has grown rapidly in the past
20 years. According to market research consultancy, Euroconsult, the number of
active mobile satellite terminals has grown from less than 1,000 units in 1980 to
more than 1 million units in 2004. The growth in terminals has accelerated since the
late 1990s with the launch of new products. The number of data and voice terminals
Addvalue Communications Pte Ltd, a whollyownedPage 2 of 4
grew at a compounded annual growth rate of 36% from 1995 to 2004.
Telecommunications market research firm, Northern Sky Research, expects units in
service in the mobile satellite industry to exhibit a cumulative annual growth rate of
34.2% through 2010, resulting in a 17.9% cumulative annual growth rate in retail
revenue.
The successful commercialization of the jointly developed land mobile and maritime
terminals will enable Addvalue to penetrate the lucrative and potentially immense
land mobile and maritime markets, which traditionally have been contributing
significantly to the annual revenue of Inmarsat Ltd, a global leader in broadband
satellite communications.
Chairman and CEO Dr Colin Chan said, ?The collaboration with IMST is in line with
Addvalue?s plan to capitalize on our BGAN expertise and expand our existing BGAN
product offerings to a wider range to include land mobile and maritime terminals. As
the use of BGAN satellite services continue to grow globally, we are uniquely placed
to introduce more products to satellite communication users. We believe by doing so,
we are enhancing the attraction of our Addvalue satellite communication products
family to end-users and potential buyers.?
Dr Colin Chan added, ?The wild card is in the development of the BGAN terminals
using the state-of-the-art electronic-steered antenna, which, upon commercialization,
is expected to result in significant competitive advantages to be reaped over the
traditional solution using the mechanically-steered antenna.?
Dr Matthias Geissler, Head of Antenna Development at IMST said ?This
collaboration will bring together the experience of Addvalue in the field of BGAN
product development with IMST?s expertise in innovative antenna design. The joint
development of electronically steerable antennas will be a breakthrough towards a
new generation of extremely silent, long life high-performance antennas.?

IMST has been developing antennas for end-user terminals for the past 15 years,
focusing on cellular as well as on satellite communications. Based on IMST?s
extensive knowledge in digital and RF circuit design, in semiconductor components
as well as in testing and measurements, IMST expects to finalize the development of
the electronically steerable antenna very soon.

Inmarsat is the pioneer of global mobile satellite communications. It came into being
as an inter-governmental organization in 1979 to provide global safety and other
communications for the maritime community. Starting with a customer base of 900
ships in the early 1980s, it then grew rapidly to offer similar services to other users
on land and in the air, until in 1999 it became the first IGO to be transformed into a
