statements, the Myanmar government plans to increase the percentage of
phone owners to 80% by 2016. In order to achieve this ambitious goal, new
mobile licences were awarded to Telenor SA from Norway and Qatar Telecom in
June of last year. Both operators will have to meet population and
geographical coverage targets to ensure that the country's large rural
population is covered. This is expected to require more than 18.000 mobile
base stations being erected green-field over the course of the next 3
years, with most of them in bad-grid or off-grid situations.

Ayad Abul-Ella, CEO of Heliocentris, continued: "Based on our powerful and
flexible Energy Management System and best in class power components from
our technology partners, we have designed site specific power solutions
that fulfill the 5 main requirements of our customers in an optimal manner:
best energy efficiency, lowest total cost of ownership with maximum
up-time, the security of multiple sourcing for the key power components and
seamless upgrading options to higher capacities for multi tenant usage.
Having been able to fulfill these 5 key success factors in such a superior
manner, we were awarded the purchase order for the 150 sites to be
delivered and installed in the next 3-4 months. We are confident that with
this order the foundation for further significant business in Myanmar has
been laid and look forward to winning additional multi-million purchase
orders in the coming months."
