Ambient Incorporates Capacitive Coupling into Its Proprietary Network Design.Ambient's FCC (1) (Federal Communications Commission, Washington, DC, www.fcc.gov) The U.S. government agency that regulates interstate and international communications including wire, cable, radio, TV and satellite. The FCC was created under the U.S. Authorization Expanded BOSTON -- Ambient Corporation (OTCBB OTCBB See OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB). : ABTG ABTG AquaBio Tech Group ), a leader in Broadband over Power Lines Using the electric utility to provide Internet access. Also called "power line communications" (PLC), high-frequencies carrying data are superimposed over the low-frequency waves on the electrical transmission lines. (BPL See broadband over power lines. ) solutions, today announced that it has received an addition to its grant of BPL Equipment Authorization from the Federal Communications Commission Federal Communications Commission (FCC), independent executive agency of the U.S. government established in 1934 to regulate interstate and foreign communications in the public interest. (FCC), awarded on September 6, 2006 (press release - September 7, 2006). This authorization allows Ambient's BPL systems to be commercially deployed with both Ambient inductive couplers as well as Arteche capacitive couplers on medium voltage electrical distribution lines, which increases Ambient's flexibility in network design. "Arteche believes in the future of the North American North American named after North America. North American blastomycosis see North American blastomycosis. North American cattle tick see boophilusannulatus. Access BPL market and we are pleased to have our couplers incorporated into Ambient's FCC-certified network. As the North American utility infrastructure is in need of modernization, being a part of Ambient's deployments at the beginning stages of smart grid adoption is a very exciting opportunity for Arteche," stated Lander Zugazaga, PLC Coupling Sales Manager at Arteche Group. The Ambient BPL network, designed to support a variety of utility and consumer services simultaneously, enables utility applications such as system monitoring, demand side management, current and voltage sensing, advanced metering infrastructure Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) or Advanced Metering Management (AMM) refers to systems that measure, collect and analyse energy usage, from advanced devices such as electricity meters, gas meters, and/or water meters, through various communication media on request or , while also offering broadband Internet access Broadband Internet access, often shortened to just "broadband", is high speed Internet access—typically contrasted with dial-up access over modem. Dial-up modems are generally only capable of a maximum bitrate of 56 kbit/s (kilobits per second) and require the full use of a and telephony (VoIP - Voice over Internet Protocol) services. "The FCC expansion of our equipment authorization allows us to utilize capacitive couplers where suitable in our overhead deployments," stated Ram Rao, CTO (Chief Technical Officer) The executive responsible for the technical direction of an organization.

"Having an additional option in deploying our BPL communication platform demonstrates Ambient's flexible system architecture and technical leadership in our industry. Arteche, who is a recognized global leader in coupling technology, has designed capacitive couplers, which compliment our BPL networks. We have already installed these couplers in our largest field deployment."
