RMS COMMUNICATIONS PARTNERSHIP WITH GERMAN UTILITY COMPANY
GEW STARTS SUCCESSFULLY

RMS  Communications plc, ("RMS") the leading provider of low cost, power  line
communication  technology, is pleased to report that the first  phase  of  the
trial  programme with Gas-Elektrizitats-und Wasserwerke, ("GEW"),  the  German
utility  company, has been completed successfully.  Results from recent  tests
show  exceptionally  fast and responsive communication  and  high  reliability
rates across the designated section of GEW's electricity network.

RMS has installed its communications technology, PowerNetr  ("PowerNet"), onto
GEW's  low voltage (220/380 volts) and medium voltage (10,000 volts)  networks
in  Cologne.  PowerNet has been successfully tested for monitoring the  supply
of electricity, which included communication with electricity meters.

RMS  is  also running tests with other national utility companies  in  Sweden,
Jersey,  New Zealand, Scotland and other parts of the UK.  This year  saw  the
first commercial installation in Hydro-Electric's region around Perth and Fort
William. Hydro-Electric is a 26% shareholder in RMS.

Mike Hosie, Managing Director of RMS Communications plc, commented,

"Rapid  deregulation in the electricity industry worldwide has led to  utility
companies  looking for ways to differentiate themselves from  other  competing
companies  by  reducing  costs and by providing  new  products  and  services.
PowerNet  is an ideal solution as it gives utility companies a cost  effective
and highly precise method for managing the supply of electricity whilst giving
customers access to previously unavailable services.

"Despite  the  significant  differences in the way  electricity  is  delivered
around  the world, PowerNet has again proved that it is a flexible and  robust
system  which can be adapted to specific, local conditions.  The German market
is very important to us and we are now looking at the possibility of providing
GEW's customers with additional services such as street lighting control".
