NewWave Communications Signs with Comporium Security Dealer Program

ORLANDO, Fla.--(Business Wire)--
NewWave and Comporium are pleased to announce that NewWave has joined the
Comporium Security Dealer Program. This will expand NewWave`s communications
services, which include the Triple Play of Internet, television, and telephone
services. NewWave is the nation`s 27th largest cable TV provider with operations
in six states.

"Comporium provides a unique combination of start-up support and industry
contacts with innovators like uControl," said Larry Eby, senior vice president
of operations for NewWave Communications. "We want to provide our customers with
a range of security services from intrusion monitoring to smoke detection to the
futuristic remote home and family management features provided by the uControl
SMA Platform."

Comporium recently announced that it has added uControl`s Security, Monitoring
and Automation (SMA) Platform to its suite of security services. uControl`s
award winning solution pairs its open, technology agnostic software
infrastructure with the industry`s only "All-In-One" SMA TouchScreen from SMC
Networks - combining an alarm system, communications gateway and home automation
platform into one device. The SMA Platform enables Broadband Service Providers
to deliver the next generation of services for the Connected Home.

Comporium`s Security Dealer Program shows innovative service providers how to
break into the profitable home security industry. In addition to wholesale
security monitoring through Comporium`s UL approved Central Station, the Dealer
Program also provides technical support, training for sales and service
technicians, and "customize and go" marketing campaigns to ensure success.

"We welcome NewWave to our Dealer Program," said Dan Lehman, general manager of
the Comporium Security Dealer Program. "Our dealers report that security
services complement both cable television and telephone services while
leveraging their existing assets to expand company revenue. Our partnership with
uControl expands the range of security services in our program. uControl`s
platform allows us to immediately offer a future-proof, IP-enabled home security
solution that bridges to other Connected Home services like energy management,
video monitoring and much more."
