mPower Emergency Illuminator(TM) to Light Up International Consumer Electronic Show

Breakthrough Battery Technology Features 20-Year Shelf Life, Provides Bright Light and USB Power for All Situations
January 05, 2010: 09:26 AM ET

mPower Technologies, Inc., the consumer products division of mPhase Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: XDSL), announces the debut of the mPower Emergency Illuminator(TM), a personal lighting device with a battery shelf life of more than 20 years, at the 2010 International CES. The International CES is being held in Las Vegas, NV, and is the world's largest consumer electronics show.

With design by the renowned Porsche Design Studio in Austria, the Emergency Illuminator's appeal goes far beyond its sleek, twin-chamber design. The Illuminator stands apart from other flashlights primarily due to its Power On Command(TM) reserve battery. Initially developed for use in military applications, this advanced technology is now available to the public for the first time. The Power On Command(TM) reserve battery can sit unused on a shelf or in a vehicle's glove box for years and still be ready to go with full power when called upon in an emergency situation. The reserve battery can also charge a cell phone or other portable electronic device via the illuminator's built-in USB port, allowing for an emergency phone call when help is urgently needed.

Inside the battery, a custom-designed internal barrier and triggering mechanism is used to prevent the liquid electrolyte from interacting with the solid electrodes until the battery is manually activated. This gives the battery a shelf life of at least 20 years prior to activation. Once activated by a simple twist of a knob, the battery ramps immediately to full power.

For daily use, the Illuminator comes with two standard CR123-style batteries, which provide a high-intensity bright white light and can also be used as a power source through the standard USB port.

"We're thrilled to be the first to bring the power of this remarkable battery technology to the consumer," notes Dr. Fred Allen, a leading battery expert and chief technology officer for the mPower Emergency Illuminator, "and we're confident that the Illuminator's sleek functionality will make it one of the 'must-have' products of 2010."

The mPower Emergency Illuminator has been named an International CES Innovations Award Honoree in the personal electronics category.

Note to Editors: Interviews with company spokespersons are available during CES Unveiled, 4 pm-7 pm on January 5, as well as at the mPower booth, #4511, on press day, January 6.

mPhase Technologies to Unveil Emergency Illuminator with Power on Demand Reserve Battery


mPhase Technologies, Inc. (OTC.BB:XDSL - News), the global leader in the development of Power On Command(TM) reserve battery technology, today announced that its consumer products division, mPower Technologies Inc., will unveil the mPower Emergency Illuminator(TM) at the 2010 International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Emergency Illuminator will be shown during the CES Unveiled media event on January 5, 2010 as well as on press day, January 6, 2010. The illuminator will subsequently be on public display at CES from January 7-10, 2010.

Designed by Porsche Design Studio of Zell am See, Austria, and manufactured by MKE of Austria, the mPower Emergency Illuminator is a precision instrument with a powerful 180 Lumens LED and two separate battery tubes. One tube is for everyday use and holds two CR123 batteries, while the other tube holds mPhase's Power On Command(TM) Reserve Battery. If the regular CR123 batteries run down, the Reserve Battery takes over -- even after laying idle for 20 years. The Emergency Illuminator also features a USB port, that can be used for charging portable devices such as a cell phone.

"The mPower Emergency Illuminator is a precision engineered tool," said Ron Durando, CEO of mPhase Technologies. "It is the first product to put our Power On Command reserve battery technology into the hands of the consumer. The extraordinarily long shelf life of the reserve battery guarantees users a reliable source of power when they need it most."

mPhase Technologies has been named an International Consumer Electronics Show Innovations 2010 Design and Engineering Awards honoree. The Company expects the mPower Emergency Illuminator to become available for purchase in January 2010 with delivery in March 2010 and to retail at a price of $289.00.

A universal glove box bracket will also be available for $29.99, allowing for easy mounting in most automobile glove compartments.
