FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEAtchison & Denman Select Telemerge and Duocom For Videoconferencing Services Using BCS Virtual Presence
RICHMOND HILL, Ontario, May 6, 2003 - Broadband Collaborative Solutions, (TSX Venture: BCS), the revolutionary real-time videoconferencing provider, today announced that Telemerge Canada and Duocom have signed an agreement with Atchison & Denman to provide Public Videoconferencing Services to the Toronto Downtown business community using BCS's Virtual PresenceTM" Service.
"Atchison & Denman are one of Canada's largest suppliers of Court Reporting Services with a reputation for excellence, and we are pleased that they chose Virtual Presence, Telemerge Canada and Duocom to meet the demanding video collaboration needs of their customers," says Monty Richardson, President, BCS.
Concerns over SARS and the productivity lost due to travel are forcing businesses to look for new ways to communicate and work collaboratively from remote locations. Customers want business-class tools and do not want to give up face-to-face meetings when they give up travel.
Virtual Presence is business-class videoconferencing for less than half the cost of traditional videoconferencing and 4 times the quality consistently available from Web conferencing services. Virtual Presence provides a full set of collaboration tools for sharing documents in a secure environment. Customers use the no-flicker Virtual Presence for corporate meetings, customer support, distance learning and telemedicine applications. The reliable, flat rate service is as simple to use as a telephone and uses boardroom equipment and/or personal computers.
Duocom will be providing the Virtual Presence service to customers across Canada through its highly acclaimed audio/video service centres in Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Sudbury, Burlington, Kitchener, Kingston, Quebec, Moncton and Halifax. Virtual Presence is an important addition to Duocom's comprehensive service offering.

Sales, Systems Integration with Duocom, says, "This agreement is significant and places Duocom in a unique position within our industry to deliver a state-of-the-art hardware, network and services solution to Canadian organizations requiring the highest quality videoconferencing at a very affordable cost."
