mPhase Technologies CEO: Magnetometer Represents `Enormous Potential' for Company - Durando Says Investors Unfamiliar With Implication of Innovative Sensor Device
<PR, 9/26/05>

LITTLE FALLS, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 26, 2005--The ultra-sensitive metal detector under development by mPhase Technologies (OTCBB:XDSL - News) represents "an enormous potential" for the company, yet many investors are baffled by the technology, asserts the company's chief executive.

In the latest issue of XDSL Investor News, the company's newsletter to shareowners, Ronald A. Durando, mPhase CEO, attempts to familiarize investors with the function and benefits of magnetometers because "many investors tell me they don't understand what they really are."

Magnetometers detect changes or disturbances in magnetic fields and derive information on properties such as direction, presence, rotation, angle, or electrical currents; they make excellent sensors for a wide range of applications. Durando points out that the company's magnetometer will be part of a family of some of the world's most sensitive metal detectors that work at room temperatures. This "un-cooled" class of detectors is designed to be produced with standard silicon production techniques and yield a size no bigger than a single digit marking the year a penny was coined, yet producing a sensitivity that is 1,000 times greater that anything possible with today's un-cooled magnetometers.

"This expected improvement in sensitivity may enable more accurate passive detection (range, bearing and mass) of metallic objects. In military applications, for example, the proposed magnetometer may be able to detect the presence of a solider carrying a rifle at approximately 150 feet from a single sensor, and larger targets such as a car may be detected at 800 feet from a sensor," Durando states.

Metal detection is only one application for these magnetometers, says Durando. "These advanced sensors can also be used for RFID tags, metal stress detection, location and direction finding, representing multi-million dollar opportunities." Because it is more sensitive and less costly than available technology, the new class of magnetometer will find new markets in specialized military as well as mass-market commercial applications, he states.

"The opportunities are enormous," Durando concludes. The latest copy of XDSL Investor News is accessible on the company's website, www.mphasetech.com

mPhase commercializes tiny metal detector...
http://www.mphasetech.com/XDSL%20Investor%20News.htm

September 2005

Dear mPhase Shareholders,

As the fall trade show season begins to ramp up, I want to take a moment of your time to update you on our three major initiatives. Over the next few weeks I'll send you updates reporting on our progress and focusing on the market potential of each of our major initiatives: IPTV; our Nanobattery; and our ultra-sensitive magnetometer development.

I want to start with our newest initiative, the magnetometer, because it represents an enormous potential, yet many investors tell me that they don't understand what they really are.

Magnetometers detect changes or disturbances in magnetic fields and derive information on properties such as direction, presence, rotation, angle, or electrical currents; they make excellent sensors for a wide range of applications.

You can think of these as being part of a family of some of the world's most sensitive metal detectors that work at room temperatures. The photo on the right shows one of the mPhase magnetometers samples in relation to the date line on a Lincoln penny. The tiny size and design using silicon processing enables the new applications that are not possible with current technology. The company expects the new sensors to be as much as 1,000 times more sensitive than current sensors.

This expected improvement in sensitivity may enable more accurate passive detection (range, bearing and mass) of metallic objects. In military applications, for example, the proposed magnetometer may be able to detect the presence of a solider carrying a rifle at approximately 150 feet from a single sensor, and larger targets such as a car may be detected at 800 feet from a sensor.

Metal detection is only one application for these magnetometers. These advanced sensors can also be used for RFID tags, metal stress detection, location and direction finding representing multi-million dollar opportunities.

The highest sensitivity magnetometers commercially available today are quantum magnetometers. Called SQUIDs (for Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices), these devices only work at the temperature where liquid helium boils, -455°F, making such magnetometers expensive and bulky, ill-suited for remote-sensing applications.

The mPhase magnetometer technology overcomes the cooling problem and enables a micro-scale, low-cost magnetometer that does not require cooling. The mPhase magnetometer should be up to 100-1,000 times more sensitive than existing commercial un-cooled devices.

The mPhase magnetometer will be smaller, more sensitive, less costly, and operate at room temperature, thus enabling a new class of sensor systems with appeal to specialized military as well as mass-market commercial applications.

Basic sensor designs have been under development at Bell Labs for several years, and the process technology to manufacture these sensors is well understood. In May we announced the first successful production of our prototypes in the Bell Labs clean room.

We expect to achieve substantial improvements in sensitivity by modifying the micro-scale magnetometers to include nano-scale features. These magnetometers can be used in metal detection and perimeter security applications for defense and homeland security. They can also be used healthcare systems and retail security like RFID tags.

The opportunities are enormous. Stay tuned for future development reports on the Nanobattery and our IPTV product, the mPhase TV+ System.

Sincerely,
Ron Durando

Lucent Technologies Bell Labs and mPhase Technologies Announce Milestone in Magnetometer Development
<PR, 9/28/05>

MURRAY HILL, N.J. & LITTLE FALLS, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 28, 2005--Lucent Technologies (NYSE:LU - News) Bell Labs and mPhase Technologies (OTC:XDSL - News) today announced a milestone in their joint magnetometer project with the development of an un-cooled metal detector prototype. This prototype is the first working metal detector using technology pioneered by Bell Labs, and is a significant step towards the development of a device that will be theoretically 1000 times more magnetically sensitive than comparable solutions available on the market today.

Magnetometers detect changes or disturbances in magnetic fields and derive information such as presence, size, location and orientation of objects, such as metal, that have magnetic properties.

mPhase has licensed this magnetometer technology from Bell Labs and is working to commercialize the new class of magnetometers for use as un-cooled ultra-sensitive sensors for a host of possible defense and civilian applications including automated battlefield sensors and integrated compass and direction functionality in handheld devices.

The joint announcement was made at this week's Technology Review Emerging Technologies Conference at MIT.

"This is a disruptive technology," said Ron Durando, CEO, mPhase Technologies. "These magnetometers can be used in metal detection and perimeter security applications for defense and homeland security. They can also be used in healthcare systems and retail security detection like RFID tags."

"Bell Labs advanced nanotechnology and MEMS research and manufacturing capability position us to deliver cutting edge applications and products either directly or through our partnerships," said Dave Bishop, vice president of Physical Research for Bell Labs. "Our close working relationship with mPhase is a first step towards the commercialization of this promising technology."

The most sensitive of commercially-available magnetometers, called Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices (SQUIDs) can measure extremely small magnetic fields, such as the flux or force of magnetism on a single human red blood cell with a diameter about 7 microns. In practice, this level of sensitivity is only possible at the temperature where liquid helium boils, 455 degrees below zero Fahrenheit, limiting the applications in which they can be used.

This magnetometer prototype, which incorporates Bell Labs-designed micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), requires no cooling to achieve very high magnetic sensitivity. Additionally, as the sensing component is manufactured through a silicon-based process, production costs are expected to be significantly lower than with traditional magnetometers.

"We are planning to develop devices with applications in defense and commercial markets that were previously not practical with current technology," Durando said. "There are a number of companies interested in working with us across a range of new applications made possible by the size and sensitivity breakthrough."

mPhase is a Showcase exhibitor at the 5th Annual Emerging Technology Conference, the premiere conference for innovators and key leaders in technology and business held on MIT's Cambridge, Mass. campus September 28-29, 2005. "We are very excited to have mPhase, a leading nanotechnology company and a pioneer in the field as a member of the Showcase," commented Vincent Caprio, Event Director for NanoBusiness 2005 and The Emerging Technologies Conference at MIT.
