Eurotech Catalyst LP to Help Individuals With Speech Challenges Communicate Using the DynaVox(R) V(TM) and Vmax(TM) Communication Devices

AMARO, Italy, August 11, 2010 - Eurotech, a leading supplier of embedded technologies,
products, and systems, today announces multiple contracts with DynaVox to
deliver the Catalyst LP and Catalyst Module embedded computers for the
DynaVox V, Vmax and Xpress(TM) alternative augmentative communication (AAC)
devices. The combined value of these contracts is nearly 4.2M USD, with
deliveries to be made in 2010 and 2011.

Last year, DynaVox chose the Eurotech Catalyst Module for
their Xpress(TM) speech-generating device. This successful engagement allows
DynaVox to leverage Eurotech's previous integration efforts for a faster
product development cycle.

DynaVox chose the Eurotech Catalyst LP product based on
several factors, including the following:

    - Eurotech first to market with new processor technology,
      Intel(R) Atom(TM) processor N450 and D510

    - New Catalyst LP meets the DynaVox goals of high performance
      in small form factor

    - DynaVox's ability to leverage Catalyst Module design,
      development and integration expertise from the earlier DynaVox
      Xpress(TM) speech-generating device project

    - Strong relationship and proven support from Eurotech team

"Eurotech was very quick to offer an embedded computer based
on Intel's latest processors. With the Catalyst LP, we can update our
handheld augmentative communication devices with cutting-edge technology so
we can offer even more speech-assistive capabilities in a small form factor
product," said Bob Cunningham, Chief Technology Officer for DynaVox. "Working
with the Catalyst family of products lets us optimize our engineering
resources and build on existing solutions that we know work for our product
roadmap."

DynaVox's speech-generating devices help those living with
conditions such as autism, ALS, cerebral palsy, stroke, traumatic brain
injury or Down syndrome communicate with their loved ones and participate in
the educational classroom and in work settings.

"Eurotech significantly improves the time-to-market for our
customers by offering the latest processor technology as soon as it hits the
market," said Greg Nicoloso, Eurotech CEO. "We have an ongoing relationship
with DynaVox, and we were able to meet their product introduction schedule in
2010 by providing multiple versions of the Catalyst LP product with single
and dual core technology."

Eurotech is a Microsoft Windows Embedded Gold Partner, and an
Associate member of Intel's Embedded and Communications Alliance.
