Deploys 2G and 3G solution in metro tunnels and stations

STOCKHOLM, May 13, 2010 - Comba Telecom Systems Holdings Limited ("Comba" or the "Group", HKEx:
2342), a leading wireless solutions provider, announced the successful
completion and handover of a turnkey wireless solution for the Yerevan Metro
rapid transit system that serves the capital of Armenia, Yerevan. The metro
is using an end-to-end solution based on Comba technology to enable
ubiquitous coverage for mobile phone users within the metro stations and
tunnels.

The Yerevan Metro is one of the main transport modes for the residents of
Armenia's capital city. It began operations in 1981 and currently consists of
a train line of approximately 13km servicing a total of 10 stations in both
underground and above ground environments.

In order to supply passengers with ubiquitous wireless coverage in the
network, Comba designed, installed and commissioned a dual-mode GSM and UMTS
wireless solution after operational hours to avoid disruption to passengers.
Working simultaneously with the installation of base stations for signal
servicing, Comba implemented an active Distributed Antenna System (DAS) for
coverage on station platforms, customized optical fiber repeater systems for
seamless coverage and handover in and out of tunnels. Through the deployment
of these systems, Comba allowed for maximum network flexibility and minimized
operating costs through centralized locations — thus simplifying equipment,
maintenance and upgrade processes.

Mr. Fredrik Dyfverman, Comba EMEA General Manager said, "Through the
deployment of Comba's solution, passengers on the Yerevan Metro can now
experience uninterrupted mobile phone communications. The supply of services
is a crucial part of Comba's total solution that included design, testing,
commissioning and optimization of a cost-effective and robust wireless
system."
