Ambient Completes First Project in New York City Tuesday October 26, 10:25 am ET First to Commercially Deploy Second Generation Chipset Technology in North America MADRID, SPAIN and NEWTON, MA--(MARKET WIRE)--Oct 26, 2004 -- Ambient Corporation (OTC BB:ABTG.OB - News), a leader in Power Line Communications (PLC) and a featured exhibitor at the IQPC International Powerline Communications Conference in Madrid announced today the successful completion of its joint project with Consolidated Edison (NYSE:ED - News) in the installation of a communications system in Con Edison's new First Avenue Steam Tunnel in Manhattan. ADVERTISEMENT Kevin Burke, President of Con Edison, said, "We are pleased with the results of the project and its cost effectiveness. This state-of-the-art monitoring and communications system will serve us well." Ambient, the first US company to incorporate the latest chipset from DS2 into its system, utilized DS2's second generation PLC technology, capable of running at speeds up to 200 Mbps, to build a multi-purpose communications network in an industrial environment. The network is utilized in Con Edison's new tunnel to monitor environmental conditions, the state of the steam main, and to provide telephony service in the tunnel utilizing the voice over IP (VoIP) technology provided by the DS2 chipset. This single network is a cost-effective solution that provides a variety of services that would traditionally have required multiple technologies and wiring systems. Con Edison's steam system is unique to Manhattan. It serves about 1,800 customers from 105 miles of steam mains, stretching from Lower Manhattan to 96th Street. Ram Rao, Chief Network Architect at Ambient, stated, "After years of successful demonstrations, Ambient is moving to a new level with near term plans to begin aggressively marketing its proven technology and equipment. The success of this project is another key step in Ambient's path to being the industry leader in PLC system design and installation."

Telkonet and MetroNets2000 Deploy Broadband Internet at the Watergate West Condominium Friday October 29, 9:00 am ET New Partnership Targeting High-End Condominiums for High-Speed Internet Access GERMANTOWN, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 29, 2004--Telkonet, Inc. (Amex: "TKO"), the leader in commercial powerline communications (PLC) and the Company bridging the "Outlet to the Net", today announced it has partnered with MetroNets2000 to provide a complete Internet solution to multi-dwelling unit residential buildings. MetroNets2000 is a metropolitan Washington DC broadband Internet service provider that specializes in offering broadband Internet access to premium condominiums. Telkonet provides the in-building Internet connectivity solution, delivering the Internet signal within buildings over existing electrical wiring using powerline communications (PLC) technology. Together, with the Telkonet and MetroNets2000 broadband Internet package, property owners and managers now have a cost-effective Internet solution that is quick to deploy, making their buildings more desirable to residents. The prestigious Washington DC Watergate West condominium, a high-rise building with 135 units, is the first building to implement the MetroNets2000/Telkonet broadband Internet solution. MetroNets2000 provided a T1 based Internet service to the building and used Telkonet's PlugPlus(TM) system to distribute the Internet signal within the building to virtually every electrical outlet in each unit. This is the most recent addition to Telkonet's growing number of premier ISP partners combining the last mile broadband connection via fixed wireless, satellite or terrestrial systems with Telkonet's PlugPlus(TM) in-building distribution solution. Lew Wilson, President of MetroNets2000, explained, "Prior to our partnership with Telkonet, we were using CAT 3 telephone lines as the Ethernet backbone. We had to go into every resident's unit to locate the phone lines, which can be a challenge in some buildings where the phone jacks are not where the connection is desired. Now, with Telkonet's solution, the entire building can be Internet-enabled within days, without new wiring and without having to enter the residents' units. In addition, residents are no longer confined to accessing the Internet from one jack, but have Internet access from any ordinary electrical outlet in any room. Telkonet's unique PLC product has lowered our deployment and operation costs, shorted and simplified our installation process, and given residents the best of both worlds - broadband Internet access with the flexibility of a wireless system with the security of a wired system." About MetroNets2000 MetroNets2000, a TSS, Inc. company, has provided network design and implementation since 1980. The Company has been installing Ethernet Local Area Networks into high rise residential building and hotels under the MetroNets2000 name for three years. MetroNets2000 targets high end premium condominiums, with clients such as the Watergate in Washington DC, the Atrium in Roslyn Virginia, and hotels, including the Historic Mayflower in DC and the new Waterfront Marriott in Baltimore.
