eLandia and American Samoa Inaugurate Submarine Cable

CORAL GABLES, Fla., July 7, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- eLandia (OTCBB:ELAN), a
leading technology enabler of emerging markets, today announced that it is
joining Governor Togiola Tulafono and the people of American Samoa to inaugurate
the undersea fiber-optic cable that now connects American Samoa and the
Independent State of Samoa to Hawaii and the rest of the world. Formal launch of
the cable provides high-speed connection for the Territory's people and
businesses to the global marketplace, promoting innovation and new opportunities
for education, economic development, and healthcare.

"The submarine fiber-optic cable transforms the entire telecommunication
landscape of American Samoa in ways that we could not have imagined twenty years
ago," said Governor Togiola. "With the cable, we can implement critical
technology that is essential to empowering our citizens and businesses. It
represents a new opportunity to light a flame that will shine across the world,
fed by our ingenuity, determination, and desire to succeed. We are delighted to
stand with our guests today and welcome this unprecedented connection to our
future."

The cable project re-activates the submarine PacRim East cable, which was lifted
from the ocean floor and reconnected, to cost effectively deliver 1 Gb/s
broadband to 280,000 island residents. Residents and businesses will now be able
to benefit from improved delivery of broadband data, voice, video, and cable
services. The American Samoa government and eLandia had previously formed
American Samoa Hawaii Cable, LLC to undertake the ambitious project. eLandia
will operate advanced network and broadband services over the newly deployed
cable.

"We applaud Governor Togiola's vision and tenacity in delivering this
transformational project to the great people of American Samoa," said Pete
Pizarro, chairman and chief executive officer of eLandia, "and we are delighted
to celebrate this historic project as American Samoa becomes a more connected
member of the global marketplace."
