Universal Communication Systems, Inc. Subsidiary Solar Style, Inc. To Launch 30+ National Airport Retail Outlets in Its New Travel-Centric Initiative

Posted on: Wednesday, 14 June 2006, 12:00 CDT

Universal Communication Systems, Inc. (OTCBB: UCSY) (BERLIN: UVC) (XETRA: UVC) (FRANKFURT: UVC) (MUNICH: UVC) (WKN: 917633) subsidiary Solar Style, Inc. has launched a new national program to market its wide and growing range of Solar Powered products in US and Canadian Airports. The strategy is to be everywhere on-the-go where traveling consumers are by increasing its distribution network. In keeping with that strategy, Solar Style has entered into an agreement with the Westfield Group to open its first retail location at Dulles Airport in Washington, DC. This is the first of many stores and kiosks to be opened by Solar Style in airports and malls managed by Australia-based Westfield Group over the next year.

"The strategy to go where people are on the move is a great fit," said Solar Style Chairman Michael Zwebner. "Today's consumers need flexible and portable cell charging options at all times. Solar Style will be addressing this market need by locating its own stores and kiosks and marketing its entire and growing range of Solar Chargers and Solar powered products in airports, train stations, on airlines, duty free locations, and cruise ships. Ours are truly global products with universal appeal. If you have the sun you have Solar Style."

The company's current ten national and International representatives will be adding additional muscle to increase Solar Style's profile and product reach in other travel venues. A planned PR and marketing push will focus on commuter and travel media to further support this new initiative. The company has plans to open 30 plus travel-oriented locations across the country by the end of 2006.

About Our Products

The solar chargers give users access to power when they need it, not just when they're near an outlet. This on-the-go power is liberating for the time-constrained, or for those who are truly mobile and don't want to be limited by access to traditional power sources. The solar chargers eliminate the need for carrying additional battery packs and helps streamline what users need to stay powered up during their hectic day-to-day activities. The new chargers are easy on the environment, eliminating the need to carry spare batteries or to use traditional, pollution-inducing, fossil-fuel-created electricity. Since the charger can use any indoor or outdoor light source, they're crucial for emergency, power shortage, rolling blackout or severe weather situations. The solar charger absorbs all light energy -- not just the sun's -- turning it into usable electricity. This electricity is used to charge electronic devices, such as cell phones, PDAs, MP3s, gaming devices and digital cameras.

Consumers can feel good about using Solar Style's charger because by simply using the product, they're helping to lighten the environmental energy load. The solar charger is easy on consumers' pocket books, too, currently available, due to high demand, only on the company's website for as low as $14.99.
