Smartlinx Announces Completion of Smartschool in the Box Prototype to Improve Education in Rural Areas

UNION CITY, New Jersey, May 25, 2010--     (OTCBB: SMLK): Smartlinx Inc. (the "Company") is pleased to
announce that its wholly owned subsidiary, Smartlinx VoIP Networks Pvt. Ltd
has completed the development of its Smartschool in the box prototype.

    Smartschool in the box is a mobile unit consisting of
audio-visual equipment which enables teachers to provide education in remote
areas over wireless internet. The wireless internet is being continuously
expanded all over India by Smartlinx partner BSNL.

    This development falls in line with the latest countrywide
initiatives to improve the education sector in India.

    Designed to boost the number of children enrolling in and
completing elementary school, and to improve the quality of engineering
education across India, the World Bank has approved two education projects
worth $1.05 billion last week.

    The World Bank has supported Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA), a
nationwide programme aimed at providing quality elementary education to all
children, with two International Development Association (IDA) credits
totaling 1.1 billion since 2003, a media report said.

    "SSA, now the largest ongoing Education for All (EFA) programme in
the world, has been remarkably successful, particularly in achieving greater
access to elementary education," Roberto Zagha, World Bank Country Director
for India said.

    The $750 million in additional financing for the Second
Elementary Education Project approved by the Bank will enable SSA to expand
activities related to increased access at upper primary level (grades 5-8),
increase elementary level completion rates, and improve learning outcomes for
the full elementary cycle (grades 1-8).

    The programme is expanding its efforts to enable the
hardest-to-reach children to attend school. These include provision of
teachers and the establishment, construction and extension of primary and
upper primary schools and classrooms in districts where access is still an
issue.

    Smartlinx's school in the box exactly fits into this
requirement as it provides a solution for one of the major issues in rural
education - availability of teachers.

    About Smartlinx:

    Smartlinx has partnered with Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited
(BSNL), the largest telecom company in India, to provide video based learning
using Voice and Video Over Broadband (VVOBB) to students in India and abroad
under the brand/service name Live Tutor. Live Tutor is made available as a
value added service of BSNL broadband.
