18 February 2003

Sydney, Australia and Kfar Saba, Israel:- Main.net Communications Limited, the world leader in Power Line Communications (PLC) system solutions, has appointed Savant Corporation Pty. Limited of Sydney, Australia to locate implementation partners for its PLUS system solution in Australia and New Zealand.

Savant is working with the local power utilities and telecommunication companies to implement the solution locally, and has already encountered keen interest in Main.net's solution.

"We're very excited at this development,” said Meyer Mussry, Business Manager at Savant. "This means opening up the whole of rural Australia for broadband communication services, such as high speed Internet, telephony, home networking, security and alarm services. It will also create true competition in fixed line services. Main.net provides an excellent 'last mile' solution, also enabling Voice over IP (VoIP) for local and long distance calls. It's great news for consumers and for the long-suffering rural sector. It will significantly improve Australia's international competitiveness and will boost the value of our electricity infrastructure".

PLUS is fully commercial in Germany, Austria, Sweden and Poland and has been successfully deployed in over 40 sites in 15 countries worldwide.

"Our commercial success in the European market has proven the viability of PLC, and we look forward to similar achievements for our PLUS solution and broadband PLC services such as high speed Internet and telephony in Australia and New Zealand” said Mr. Moran Vig, Main.net's Project Manager, Asia & Pacific. “We also offer a special solution for multi-dwelling units (MDU PLUS) suitable for airports, apartments, hotels and resorts, schools and campuses.

PLUS enables rural schools to be networked with broadband, and allows rural doctors to have access to always-on high-speed medical communications at a fraction of current costs.

PLUS is an easily installed, truly plug and play system. It can be remotely managed and controlled, requires minimal maintenance and has low operational costs,” he said.
