Business Editors

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 11, 2003

Bizcom U.S.A., Inc. ("Bizcom") today announced that it has shipped the first and second phases of a three-phase 220MHz radio system to be installed throughout southern Indiana for Hoosier Energy's Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system. The new radio is designed to interface with the power supplier's SCADA system to help regulate and control high voltage switches and power substation devices.

The SCADA system allows the cooperative to monitor and control power switches and substation devices from a central location without having to dispatch crews into the field, resulting in increased operating efficiency. The radio system, when completed, will provide a critical element in managing Hoosier Energy's power production and delivery network.

"Bizcom is providing Hoosier Energy with a reliable, low cost data solution that will allow their technical managers to take advantage of the many benefits of a 220MHz radio system, which means improved power management and costs savings for their customers," said David George, COO and President of Bizcom's wireless division. "This successful radio application is fresh evidence of the effectiveness of 220MHz narrow-band data communications services technology and its exciting potential in the utility market and in a wide range of important commercial applications."

"The 5 KHz, narrow-band radio equipment supplied by Bizcom has the ability to reliably carry data communications. We are pleased with the results we have obtained using Bizcom's 220 MHz products to carry our SCADA communications and are excited about our future use of 220 MHz to carry Hoosier Energy's Automated Meter Reading (AMR) data," said Chris Ware, Hoosier Energy's Communications Engineer. "Using Bizcom's radio equipment has allowed us to have multiple base stations for data/voice communications on one antenna system by using an antenna combining system. This has provided for the expansion of our 220 MHz system for voice and other applications while minimizing the loading on our towers."
