Elmwood Park NJ (SPX) Aug 13, 2008 Berliner Communications has announced the launch of its Green Energy Group geared towards providing a complete portfolio of traditional network power equipment integrated with "environmentally friendly" primary and backup power solutions. The Company expects to sell hydrogen fuel cells, micro turbines, solar and wind power solutions, batteries and rectifiers through this new group. Rich Berliner, CEO of BCI, stated, "The FCC has mandated that wireless carriers provide for eight-hour power back-up solutions for their grid-powered networks. While these regulations have not been finalized, this was an important driver of our decision to create this new Green Energy Group, and position us to take advantage of this demand-driven market. "As our customers work to develop power solutions for their networks to comply with the FCC's mandate, BCI will provide a wide array of power options that meet their back-up power needs, including hydrogen fuel cells, micro turbines, solar and wind power solutions. "These new product and service offerings will seamlessly integrate with our existing network installation and technical services business. Moreover, using alternative "green" energy solutions is another way to help respond to the environmental issues that we, as an enterprise, and our customers, are concerned about." Mr. Berliner added, "Installation of power systems is not new to BCI. We have many years of experience in the installation of back-up power systems, primarily generators and batteries, and this makes the addition of the Green Energy Group a natural extension of our expertise." BCI is also announcing two strategic hires for this new division, both with extensive experience in this space. Stenia Dziadiw and Richard Hall have joined the BCI team to lead this initiative, develop our various product and service offerings and market these offerings to new and existing customers. Stenia Dziadiw will serve as Vice President of the Green Energy Group. She will be responsible for overseeing all aspects of the power systems solutions business and will lead the Green Energy Group. Ms. Dziadiw joins BCI from Plug Power Fuel Cells, an alternative energy company. As an executive at Plug Power, her responsibilities included global customer relationships and management of key strategic alliances. Prior to Plug Power, Ms. Dziadiw held executive positions in the telecommunications industry with T-Mobile, formerly Voice Stream Wireless, and OmniPoint Communications. She brings a strong business background to BCI, with experience in operations, sales, customer support, financial services and strategy. Rich Hall will serve as Director of the Green Energy Group. He will be charged with providing critical infrastructure power products and systems to BCI's customers through VAR (Value Added Reseller), distribution and installation agreements. Mr. Hall's responsibilities will include designing custom power solutions for BCI's customers, ensuring complete customer satisfaction with these solutions, and maintaining field operational support and life cycle services. Mr. Hall brings 16 years of telecommunications and power systems technical management experience to BCI. Prior to joining BCI, Mr. Hall was Director of Technical Engineering for Plug Power Fuel Cells, where he was responsible for worldwide product and business development and engineering solutions for next generation power systems. "We welcome Stenia and Rich to our BCI team and we are confident their wealth of industry knowledge and experience will represent significant assets to our company and our customers as we grow our Green Energy Group," concluded Berliner.
