August 17 - Infrax Announces the First Upgradable WiMAX / LTE Base Stations Designed to Protect Operator's Investments

Upgrade Capability to LTE Makes Infrax Products "Future Proof"

Infrax Systems, Inc. (OTCBB: IFXY), a global provider of unified Smart Grid-related products and services for the Energy and Utility industries, today announced the availability of the first upgradable WiMAX/LTE base stations. This upgrade option provides for a migration from WiMAX (802.16e) to Long Term Evolution (LTE) capability without replacing the Base Station. As the Infrax Base Stations are FPGA based, one can change and update the core networking protocols and the channel sizes in the field making these the most flexible 4G base stations available. These modular 4G base stations can even provide the ability to change to a different frequency by changing radio modules to provide more longevity of the platform and protect network operator's investments.

Infrax's wireless communications products are a core component of Automated Metering and Substation Automation projects for Utilities. By enabling advanced, reliable communications in a variety of frequency ranges, the products have a broad application range. These WiMAX / LTE base stations can be used in different frequency ranges, such as 2.3-2.6 GHz, 3.3-3.8 GHz or 700 MHz and can also be modified to operate in the "White Space" UHF frequency range 470-860 MHz.

Gone are the days where network operators had to compromise when selecting their technology. In the battle between WiMAX and LTE, Infrax is uniquely positioned to provide not only either solution, but to allow clients to upgrade their existing WiMAX base stations to full LTE capability simply and cost effectively. As the wireless industry continues to pit WiMAX against LTE in an epic battle for 4G supremacy, with Infrax the 4G future is not an either/or proposition.

As utilities and wireless service providers roll out applications requiring greater throughput and increased reliability, this modular and scalable product line provides high performance, efficient, broadband wireless networks with the lowest OPEX and CAPEX in the industry.

AQUM

AQUAMER MEDICAL CORPORATION (OTCBB: AQUM)
(Company will soon be changing its name to Aquamer Urban Agricultural Corporation)

Detailed Quote: http://www.otcpicks.com/quotes/AQUM.php

Company Profile: http://www.otcpicks.com/Aquamer-Urban-Agricultural.htm

To conduct its urban indoor farming business, Urban Agricultural will be utilizing TerraSphere's proprietary system of vertically stacked growing trays that precisely controls light, temperature, water and nutrition to grow fruits and vegetables indoors. These systems are automated, software driven and sensitive to environmental concerns.

Aquamer believes that the market for urban indoor farming is significant. It is estimated that by the year 2050 the world's population will increase by an additional three billion people to well over nine billion inhabitants, with as much as 70 percent of the world's population living in cities or urban areas by 2050, up from 49 percent today. Considering that only about 10 percent of the earth's land is arable, and that more than 80 percent of this agriculturally suitable land is already being exploited, it is projected that there will not be enough horizontal growing space to feed this substantially increasing population. For decades, humans have increasingly sought the economic and physical protection offered by urban centers, but our food production has primarily remained outside these locations where it is subject to the whims of the environment. Urban indoor farming offers the promise of feeding an increasingly hungry world in a highly productive and environmentally friendly manner.

Urban Ag's goal is to promote the sustainable consumption of natural resources through clean technologies, to demonstrate environmentally and socially responsible business practices and to provide good jobs to empower a diverse community-based workforce while at the same time creating shareholder value. Urban Ag's farming activities will offer consumers a healthy, local, sustainable, eco-friendly alternative to large-scale industrial farming, which is highly dependent upon the use of agricultural fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides that may be harmful to consumers and both the agricultural products themselves and also the environment in which they are grown. TerraSphere has provided data showing that its patented vertical farming technology reduces water consumption through a highly efficient closed loop design that requires up to 75 percent less water than conventional field agriculture watering practices. Using these techniques, Urban Ag expects to be able to produce over 50 pounds of product per square foot per year, utilizing a short growing cycle of approximately 42 days versus 50 days for average greenhouse production and as compared to up to 70 days for traditional farming methodologies.

Vertical farming offers a solution for increasing fruit, produce and herb production due to the high density production providing for a much reduced physical footprint and fewer resources relative to field agriculture. Vertical farming systems have the potential for increasing urban food supplies while decreasing the ecological impact of farming including a smaller carbon footprint due to the reduction in fuel required transporting product across the country. Urban Ag's system of pesticide and herbicide free production with closed loop systems that conserves water provides significant potential for the realization of environmentally sustainable urban food production.

It is clearly a very exciting time for our shareholders. Below, we have provided a detailed update of some of our recent corporate activities.”

Zhuhai Oil New Energy Science and Technology, LTD Acquisition - Biomagnetics recently announced the signing of a letter of intent to acquire Zhuhai, an innovative designer and producer of low carbon biofuels. Today, the companies are releasing test results on these unique biofuel blends. According to China National Vehicle Pollutant Emission Standards, idling nitrous oxides cannot exceed 200 ppm for light duty gasoline vehicles. Recent tests using the Zhuhai low carbon gasoline blend produced test results of only 6 to 27 ppm. The high idle standard is for less than 150 ppm, with the Zhuhai blend product testing at 3 to 15 ppm. The Zhuhai gasoline product also significantly reduced carbon emissions with test results of 0% to 0.2%, versus the maximum national carbon emissions standard of 0.5%. As was announced on July 21, biofuel production at the plant was recently increased to 60 metric tons per hour. It is estimated the average pretax profit per ton of various fuel blends that will be sold to power plants and other industrial users will range between 700 RMB and 1,300 RMB per ton. The companies recently completed additional negotiations toward the closing of this merger, which included an agreement to allow Biomagnetics to manage the process of filing all U.S. patent applications for these low carbon biofuels.

Lanzhou Sanhuan New Technology Acquisition – On July 12th, Biomagnetics announced the signing of a letter of intent to acquire Lanzhou Sanhuan, the developer and patent holder of a unique highly degradable, PVA plastic film with unique gas permeation reduction features. Biomagnetics has recently completed its initial legal review of the patent held by Lanzhou, the status of current production levels and the validity of the ongoing Chinese government agriculture-related contract for a significant amount of Lanzhou PVA film. As a result of this review, Biomagnetics will move forward with a formal offer for the Company.

Additional Acquisitions - Biomagnetics is today announcing its intent to move toward an acquisition related to the manufacturing inputs for the Lanzhou PVA film while reviewing an additional proposed acquisition relating to the production of bio-fuels in China. This additional bio-fuel acquisition is designed to provide a limited level of vertical integration in order to better meet strong demand required by a local Guangdong electric power station that has agreed to place a significant order for the cleaner burning Zhuhai biofuel blend.

Relative to the acquisition of Lanzhou and Zhuhai, Biomagnetics will issue a total of 20 million shares of common stock and has agreed to capitalize these two operations with $2 million in capital of over the next 90 days. The Company believes these acquisitions will be highly accretive to earnings and will result in a significant addition to shareholder value.
