VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 23, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- S2C Global Systems Inc. (Pink Sheets:STWG), is pleased to announce the initiation of trials with Communiteq Systems Inc. (Communiteq) for the units being launched in Montreal, Canada. Communiteq has agreed to supply at their cost the ATM/POS, cash vaults and associated services under a profit sharing arrangement, reducing the overall cost of each Aquaduct by as much as $6,000 USD. Beyond the capital cost reductions the Company expects increased revenues through its share of the ATM revenues. Vaults are being installed in the existing Aquaducts over the upcoming weeks.
"Should installing ATM systems in the Aquaduct prove profitable for the Company and Communiteq we will maintain this arrangement," says S2C's CEO Rod Bartlett. "In the short term the Company will be able to focus more of its capital and human resources on increased Aquaduct distribution."
Communiteq, based in Ontario, Canada, designs, builds and sells the only unit certified in Canada for both ATM cash dispensing and point-of-sale (debit and credit) transaction processing.
In keeping with S2C's preparation for its 1st quarter market launch of the Aquaduct in Montreal, S2C has completed its prepaid water card "Aqua-card." The Aqua-card on a barcode format will be made available at a variety of retail outlets around each Aquaduct installed. The Aqua-card is part of S2C's awareness campaign to drive consumers to the Aquaduct.
