 For Immediate Release VoX Aids the BOSCO Uganda Relief Project by Enabling VoIP Telephone Services for Millions VoX Service will work over a solar-powered Internet network deployed by Inveneo – giving people in Uganda access to technologies that can improve their lives CELEBRATION, FL, January 31, 2007 – VoX Communications Corp., eLEC Communications Corp.’s (OTCBB: ELEC) wholesale and retail provider of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services has partnered with the BOSCO Uganda Relief Project to provide VoIP telephone access to millions of people in Northern Uganda’s Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camps. BOSCO, which stands for Battery Operated Systems for Community Outreach, deploys technology to give those isolated in IDP camps a link to the outside world. The VoX VoIP telephone solution will work with Internet access provided by Inveneo, a US-based non-profit that serves people in rural and remote areas of developing countries, where access to communications is severely limited due to availability or affordability. Inveneo will provide the camps with high speed Internet access using long-range Wi-Fi Networking devices and Client Computers (all extremely low cost 12-volt DC power), via solar powered battery arrays, and up-linking via Satellite. The system is designed to operate in environments where computing has traditionally not been found and where the availability of local technical service and support is limited. VoIP service and hand held camcorders work via this same design. “Many of Uganda’s adults and especially its children have suffered greatly due to a war that has lasted more than 20 years. We believe that providing affordable, sustainable communication technologies can change the lives of these people in dramatic ways – simple ways that so many of us take for granted,” said Ted Pethick, Navitor Systems of Indiana, the Technical Director and Designer of the BOSCO Network Design. “Think about having the ability, for the first time, to call a doctor to attend to a sick child, seek humanitarian aid in a crisis scenario or obtain information that enables you to sell your crops for the best possible price. The project empowers these people to be their own advocates, via the internet and VoIP, in what till now has been an invisible crisis. It’s a relief effort with lasting effects.” “I can’t express how great it feels to be part of such a worthwhile cause. We are pleased to play a role in this mission to provide the people of Uganda with a brighter future,” said Mark Richards, President of VoX.
