CAIRO, EGYPT: a trial of BROADBAND OVER POWER LINE




Trimax Corporation Signs Letter of Intent With Wavecomgroup, Egypt and Submits Tender to Egyptian Ministry of Communications & Information Technology

TORONTO -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 02/28/2006 -- Trimax Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, PLC Network Solutions Inc. (PLC) (OTC BB: TMXO), a leading provider of Broadband over Powerline (BPL) communication technologies, announced today that it has signed a Letter of Intent to establish a Joint Venture partnership with Wavecomgroup of Cairo. The two companies recently submitted a tender to deploy a Broadband over Powerline technology pilot in the Egyptian Ministry of Communications & Information Technology offices in Cairo.

"The Ministry buildings will be an excellent showcase for our BPL technology and Wavecomgroup a valuable strategic partner," said Derek Pepler, President, Trimax/PLC. "Egypt is a regional hub connecting the Mediterranean, Europe, Asia and the Arab World. It is quickly becoming the centre for telecom and IT in the Middle East and North Africa. The Egyptian government has been totally committed toward the liberalization of all telecom sectors and to improve the quality and variety of services, strengthen the market-driven economy and keep up with the demands of globalization to transition it into an information-based society that best meets the needs of its 70 million citizens."

Dr. Tarek Kamel, Minister of Communications and Information Technology, recently announced with Jean-Philippe Courtois, President of Microsoft International, the launch of a new low-cost and easy-to-use personal computer. The Windows XP Arabic version Starter Edition is developed especially for Arab users by a group of the corporation's experts abroad and with the help of a development team based in the company's innovation center located in the Smart Village in Egypt. Industry experts expect the low-cost PC Initiative will be as successful as the government's "PC 4EveryHome" program which provided more than 250,000 PCs for low-income Egyptian families. Launching these low-cost, easy-to-use computers is a big step towards raising the penetration rate of PCs and internet users, developing Egyptian society and bridging the digital divide.
