HOUSTON –Oct. 28, 2005–eLinear, Inc. (AMEX:ELU) announced today that it and its wholly owned subsidiary, eLinear Solutions, have been awarded approximately $100,000 in new solutions business from an existing customer within the energy sector. eLinear will be providing some networking infrastructure and an IP Telephony implementation (including assessment, procurement of VoIP enabled equipment, integration, configuration, support and maintenance) to one of this energy service company’s subsidiaries. The revenue from this project is expected to be recognized during the fourth fiscal quarter of 2005.

Ramzi Nassar, Chief Strategy Officer of eLinear, stated, “We are gaining significant traction providing IP telephony solutions to our multi-national energy customers. The return on these investments is such that it makes sense from both a technology and a financial perspective for our customers to undergo the implementations. Purchasing decisions are more easily made when technology is aligned with and acts in support of business goals. Our business wins are progressing at a healthy pace in comparison to last year … we are now winning these deals at a rate of several a month, which is an improved customer and business acquisition rate than what we have witnessed in the past.”

eLinear previously announced revenue guidance of $32,000,000 to $36,000,000 for fiscal 2005 and targets reaching operating profitability during the fourth quarter of 2005.
