Business Editors/High-Tech Writers

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 3, 2001

Closer Proximity to Its Powerline Telecommunications

Technology Partner Consolidated Edison of New York 

Cited as a Factor in the Move

Ambient Corporation (OTC BB:ABTG), the world leader in Powerline Telecommunications Technology (PLT), announced today that it will commence relocation of its world headquarters to New York.

Ambient Corp., currently headquartered in Brookline, Massachusetts, will begin a phased transfer of its executive, financial, and operational functions to New York over the next months. Included in the relocation to New York will be Ambient's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Operating Officer, among other staff.

Present plans call for Ambient's technology staff and operation to remain in Brookline, Massachusetts in light of the accessibility and close working relationships it has developed with the scientific and technology communities in the region, and the feeder relationships available from the large number of quality Universities in the Boston area.

Mark Isaacson CEO of Ambient Corp. stated, "As Ambient's Powerline Telecommunications Technology moves towards commercialization, it is only logical that we move closer to our anchor utility partner Consolidated Edison of New York (NYSE:ED). New York is also the world center of finance and media. It makes good business sense for us to be here, and will allow us more time with our families based on the amount of time we all currently spend in New York."

The outstanding relationship between Ambient and Consolidated Edison of New York, the nation's largest investor owned utility, has been growing. Last July, Consolidated Edison accepted a seat on the Ambient Corp. Advisory Board. In August 2000, Ambient Corp. and Consolidated Edison announced a pilot project where Ambient's proprietary technology would be tested over Consolidated Edison's powerlines. In November 2000, Ambient Corp. jointly announced with Consolidated Edison the successful first phase testing of Ambient's Powerline Telecommunications technology.

On March 20, 2001 Ambient Corporation and Bechtel Telecommunications, announced a strategic partnership and technical services agreement, wherein Bechtel will support Ambient in the market delivery of Ambient's PLT technology by providing general contracting related to system mapping surveys, demonstrations, lab testing, project management, crew support, and commercial implementation support. Bechtel will also assist Ambient with compliance with utility commission or utility board regulations and guidelines, and applicable state and federal laws, both in the United States and abroad.

Ambient Corporation has developed and owns innovative and proprietary technology that facilitates the transfer of Internet and high-speed data through ordinary electric powerlines. The same electric wiring that is ordinarily used to transmit electrical power to individual homes and businesses can also be used to transmit high-speed data.

Ambient's Powerline Telecommunications technology (PLT) is designed to enable utilities and power companies to partner with Ambient in creating baskets of utility and consumer services.

These utility services are expected to include such features as automatic meter reading (AMR), load switching/balancing, demand management, outage reporting, real-time billing, and alarm monitoring. Consumer services may feature Internet, telephony, video-on-demand, content, and smart appliances. Both baskets of services will be achieved using Ambient's Powerline Telecommunications technology (PLT) across electrical powerlines and utilizing existing infrastructure.

Recent announced tests held in Osaka, Japan exceeded the results of the initial Consolidated Edison tests. Activity over Consolidated Edison's system has been ongoing with additional positive results.

On January 25, 2001, Ambient Corp. announced it had conducted in Hong Kong the first ever successful testing of its Powerline Telecommunications Technology in an actual residential building. These tests established successful connectivity from the electric distribution closet, to the furthest apartments on all 8 floors. In addition connectivity between each floor was successfully proven. Throughput data rates of up to 8 Mbps were recorded, with raw speed exceeding 25 Mbps.

On January 31, 2001 Ambient announced a development and licensing agreement with Cisco Systems Inc. (NASDAQ:CSCO).

"We are moving into a new and exciting phase of Powerline Telecommunications technology", said Mark Isaacson CEO of Ambient Corp. "The strong and growing relationships with Consolidated Edison and Bechtel are just part of Ambient's story. As we announce new utility partnerships and accelerate our testing, the coming months will hopefully bring new and fast paced developments in this revolutionary and disruptive technology. It is truly appropriate that we move to the most exciting and fast paced city in the world."
