(the "Company" or "IdaTech") 
IdaTech's Partner Deploys 43 Backup Power Fuel Cell Products in Mexico 
 
IdaTech plc (AIM IDA.L), a global leader in the development and manufacture of 
clean and reliable extended run backup power fuel cell products, today announces 
that its Latin America partner MICROM Electronic SA de CV ("MICROM") published 
details of the largest commercial backup power fuel cell deployment using 
IdaTech's systems in Mexico. 
 
 
MICROM, a subsidiary of Grupo Condumex, has deployed the largest number of fuel 
cell products in Telcel's cellular network in Mexico. Radiomovil DIPSA SA de CV 
("Telcel"), Mexico's largest mobile phone carrier, founded in 1989 and based in 
Mexico City, is a leading provider of wireless communications services in Mexico 
with over 58 million subscribers. MICROM has successfully installed 43 
ElectraGen(TM) XTR extended run backup power fuel cell systems in Telcel's 
cellular base stations throughout Mexico. These systems serve as the primary 
critical backup power at outdoor telecom sites in which their high reliability, 
extended run time, quiet operation, and low emissions make IdaTech's fuel cell 
an ideal solution. 
 
 
IdaTech's ElectraGen(TM) XTR fuel cell product was developed to specifically 
address critical backup power solutions in the telecom market. The 
ElectraGen(TM) XTR uses IdaTech's proprietary fuel reforming capability which 
converts liquid fuel into high-purity hydrogen onsite as needed providing Telcel 
with extended run backup power. The system provides the 24 or 48 VDC backup 
power required by telecommunications networks to provide a replacement to 
traditional solutions such as batteries and diesel generators, but with greater 
reliability and significantly reduced annual maintenance. 
 
 
MICROM is committed to the environment and advanced fuel cell technology 
applications in the telecom market throughout the Latin America and 
Caribbean regions. 
 
 
Commenting on the deployment, Hal Koyama, Chief Executive Officer of IdaTech, 
said: "This large deployment of IdaTech fuel cell systems in Mexico is another 
positive sign that uptake of our ElectraGen(TM) fuel cell systems is gaining 
momentum and builds on yesterday's announcement that 22 IdaTech 
ElectraGenTM systems had been delivered to the United States Army by our 
partner, b+w Electronic Systems."
