Ambient Launches X-3000 Node Certified for Use on the Verizon Wireless Network

Ambient Incorporates Verizon Wireless` Network Connectivity into its Smart Grid
Solution

BOSTON--(Business Wire)--
Ambient Corporation (OTCBB:ABTG) announced today that its newest communications
node, the X-3000, has been certified to run on the Verizon Wireless network
through the wireless leader`s open development program. Verizon Wireless` open
development program is designed to offer businesses and consumers the ability to
use devices, software and applications not offered by the company on its
nationwide wireless network.

Ambient has incorporated the ability to access Verizon Wireless` EV-DO 3G
network into its newly launched, commercially available, X-3000 communications
node. Verizon Wireless, America`s most reliable wireless network, provides
Ambient ubiquitous and secure data communications for the node, an integral part
of the Ambient Smart Grid solution. Ambient has sold and is currently delivering
their latest product to a large North American utility.

Ram Rao, CTO of Ambient, commented, "Ambient recognizes the diverse needs of our
utility partners as they explore various technologies and applications that
require an increasingly flexible and robust communications network. To leverage
Verizon Wireless` network into the available backhaul options for our
communications platform, we increase the robustness and flexibility of our smart
grid communications solution, allowing Ambient to build out networks tailored to
meet each utility`s individual needs."

A robust communications network is the keystone to a modernized electric
distribution grid, which allows for efficient collection, analysis and
management of energy data, thereby promoting more reliable, affordable and
environmentally friendly operations. Ambient believes that it should be a major
national goal in 2009 to advance federal legislation to decarbonize our economy
and to create the most energy efficient economy possible. Ambient continues to
design innovative communication and energy sensing products to help electric
utility companies towards this important goal.

Utilizing the pervasiveness and reliability of Verizon Wireless` 3G network,
Ambient enables any IP-based application including, but not limited to:

* Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI)
* Energy management
* Real-time pricing
* Demand side management (DSM)
* Direct load control
* System monitoring

"Verizon Wireless supports Ambient`s commitment to deliver advanced energy
solutions for the utility market over a secure communications network. The broad
reach of Verizon Wireless` network is a cost-effective way for Ambient to extend
their utility solutions into topologies that are harder to reach by other common
technologies," stated Anthony A. Lewis, vice president of the open development
program at Verizon Wireless.

Ambient`s communication nodes are tightly integrated devices that allow
utilities to build private and secure communications networks, based on open
standards, that can both integrate legacy utility systems and support the future
requirements of the evolving smart grid. The nationwide coverage and strength of
Verizon Wireless` high-speed data network provides Ambient`s customers an
additional real-time, two-way communications backhaul option for the X-3000
node. Such an option is required by the growing applications and needs within
the utility market.
