Exhibit 99.1

eLandia International and Amper Close Definitive Agreement

Combining their talent to lead the integration of technologies and solutions in Latin America

MIAMI, April 1, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — eLandia International (OTC BB:ELAN.ob - News), a leading Latin American information and communications technology enabler, closed in escrow a definitive share exchange agreement with Madrid-based Amper S.A., whereby eLandia acquired a 79.7% stake in Brazil-based integrator Medidata, and Amper S.A. acquired 85% (80% on a fully diluted basis) ownership of eLandia through the issuance of additional stock. Both companies will offer their combined portfolio of products, services, technology solutions and technical resources throughout the Latin American region. All closing documents were deposited in escrow pending the delivery of share certificates and related counsel opinions.

Miami-based eLandia, via its subsidiary Desca in Latin America, delivers an array of information technology and communications services to customers in 17 markets in Latin America, the Caribbean and the South Pacific. Medidata has been operating in Brazil since 1976 and offers integrated communications solutions to meet the needs of telecommunications operators, large enterprise, financial and public sector clients.

For eLandia, the combined Desca and Medidata operations become a complete integrated platform in Latin America, creating a truly regional Technology Solutions leader. Both companies’ strong and complementary product and service portfolios will accelerate their ability to synchronize sales and service delivery capabilities. Medidata and Desca will be able to take advantage of a unified pool of technical expertise to efficiently manage large, highly complex integration projects across Latin America, as well as leverage Amper’s broad experience in the deployment of Critical Infrastructure Protection projects.

According to Business Monitor International, the total value of investments on Information and Communications Technology products and services in Latin America is expected to arrive to US$65 billion by 2013, representing growth in excess of 35% in a 3 year period. Expanding eLandia’s extensive footprint to Brazil, one of the world’s most important emerging markets, is fully aligned with eLandia’s strategy to lead the transformation and consolidation of the Technology Solutions industry in the region, creating an exceptional opportunity to capture this potential growth.

“Latin America and the Caribbean offer outstanding growth opportunities in the technology market and Brazil completes our planned regional coverage. The whole region has had an incredible social and economic progress and continues to surface as a leading business partner of China, Europe and the United States. Reaching out to Brazil, one of the world’s top ten economies, is a great opportunity of development and creation of new prospects for our group companies and positions us as a key player and catalyzer of the transformation undergoing in the Latin American marketplace,” said eLandia’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Peter R. Pizarro.

Alfredo Redondo Chief Executive Officer of Amper remarks, “The integration of eLandia positions us as a global company with a strong market leadership in Latin America, and this, coupled with the recent success we have achieved in new geographies will enable us to increase our ability to grow in the areas of Defense, Communications and Security, as well as promoting innovation in product development.”

eLandia plans to consolidate all back office operations for Desca and Medidata within a regional shared service organization that will produce operating efficiencies, engineering synergies and cost savings, positioning the combined company to better fulfill customers’ needs, increase sales, and improve its business results.
