ATCi Hong Kong Teleport announces joint alliance with Solana HK to deliver low cost broadband services

Pacific Telecommunications Conference (PTC)
2010 -- Antenna Technology Communications Inc. (ATCi), a provider of commercial
satellite communications systems and Solana HK, a Hong Kong based co-location
facility, today announced from the PTC Conference in Honolulu its new cooperation
agreement to jointly offer affordable, industry broadband satellite and fiber
services to underserved markets throughout Asia, Africa and the Middle East. The new
partnership will bring together the best of breed of ATCi's proprietary "Skyway
to Highway" technology to Solana HK's world class facilities that offer
innovative anywhere-to-anywhere access. Starting March 31, 2010, the voice, data and
video IP services will be provided to numerous key government and commercial
customers throughout the region.
ATCi will implement DVB S2 ACM-latest generation IP broadcast and signaling with
up to 60% more efficiency than previous platforms. ATCi's packaged solution coupled
with interlaced RF to digital IP optimizer technology will enable GSM operators to
reduce their backhaul bandwidth requirements through proven network optimization and
voice compression methods.  The solution will allow for comprehensive bandwidth
optimization techniques to eliminate unnecessary data.  It will also suppress
silence, compress voice on interfaces that require it, and packetize traffic for
transport over the most cost-effective infrastructure.  The result is a dramatic
reduction in bandwidth requirements across all cellular links without experiencing
any degradation in voice quality or network reliability.  Less bandwidth utilization
means lower operating expenses (OpEx) which is critical to an operator's financial
performance.
"We are thrilled to reunite with John Madsen and his team at their new
leading edge facility in Hong Kong," said ATCi's CEO, Gary Hatch.  "We
believe that the Asia region has the most dynamic growth opportunity for voice video
and data gateway applications," Hatch added.
"This is an exciting collaboration," said John Madsen, Managing
Director, Solana HK.  "ATCi's technologies are extremely economical as compared
to current broadband and backhaul networks," added Madsen.  "We are
extremely well positioned for growth in this area, the partnership is an excellent
fit in that quality of service is a core ethic for both companies," Madsen
concluded.
The voice, data and video IP services will be available March, 2010.
