Urban Communications Inc. Implements Core WDM Equipment

Urban Communications Inc. (TSX VENTURE:UBN) is pleased to announce that it has
commenced its service capability upgrade by purchasing new core electronic
network infrastructure equipment. The equipment is an award winning carrier
Ethernet aggregation platform and Optical Wave Division Multiplexer (WDM)
manufactured by MRV Communications. The new equipment will dramatically increase
the capability of Urban's fibre optic network allowing it to expand capacity
without laying more fibre. MRV is a leading global provider of optical
communications solutions to telecommunications service providers, enterprises,
utilities and municipalities.


WDM combines a number of signals onto a single optical fibre by using different
wavelengths or colours of laser light, and multiplies the capacity of an
individual fibre strand, thereby enhancing the value of each fibre. The
aggregation switch seamlessly integrates signals from different transmission
protocols which expands Urban's target market without additional cost.


The new equipment, together with compatible building aggregation and edge
devices from MRV, will give Urban the ability to provide data transfer and
Internet service offerings at speeds up to 10 Gbps immediately, and up to 100
Gbps in 2012. This gives Urban the ability to meet the needs of a wide range of
customers with high reliability, enhanced quality and security and the ability
to compete effectively with any other service provider.


The company is presently in the process of testing and configuring the new
equipment which will be fully installed with initial customer service delivery
anticipated before year end.


Urban Communications Inc., through its operating subsidiaries, is a
telecommunications company providing a full suite of Internet, voice, video and
broadband application products over its state-of-the-art carrier grade fibre
optic network to commercial, residential and public sector customers in metro
Vancouver and Victoria.
