Xtend Networks Introduces XHUB 3006 to Reduce Costs, Further Simplify Installation of 3GHz Solution

SAN ANTONIO, June 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Xtend Networks(TM), a Vyyo(R) company (NASDAQ:VYYO) that provides next generation Hybrid Fiber Coax (HFC) network solutions for the cable TV industry, today announced the availability of a new version of its XHUB node product for the delivery of 3GHz of bandwidth over 750MHz plant.

The XHUB 3006, a critical component of Xtend's Block Division Multiplexing technology, has been created to simplify installation and maintenance while reducing costs and improving performance when multiple downstream coax connections are fed from a single optical node.

Xtend is demonstrating the XHUB 3006 in its booth (#827) at the Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers (SCTE) Cable-Tec Expo at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center June 15-17.

Xtend's XHUB products perform its unique block frequency multiplexing and upconversion for the "Xtended" (1250-1950 MHz) downstream, and demultiplex and downconvert the four upstream blocks (2250-2750 MHz). Previous XHUB versions required the additional installation of three passive devices to accommodate node splits or other multiple coax configurations; the XHUB 3006 is a dual amplifier Block Division Multiplexer with additional ports for a second coax connection.

"The XHUB 3006 is yet another step in making the Xtend solution the simplest, most cost-effective route to the capacity cable needs to provide high bandwidth services today," said Bill Keating, CEO of Xtend Networks. "The product is designed to minimize network elements and connections, further simplifying the deployment of the 3GHz solution in split node configurations."

Safe Harbor Statement

Statements made in this press release relating to the future, including those related to, Xtend's XHUB products to perform unique block frequency multiplexing and upconversion for the downstream, and demultiplex and downconvert the four upstream blocks as well as the potential for Xtend's systems to enable the cable industry to economically enhance their networks, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Because these forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, there are important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, without limitation, the performance characteristics, reliability and consistent availability of the XHUB 3006; the current limited visibility available in the telecommunications and broadband access equipment markets; whether Xtend will be able to move from the development stage to deployment and establish commercial relationships with the cable system operators; whether the cable industry will be willing and able to substantially increase the available bandwidth on their networks and do so using Xtend's alternative technology solution; and other risks set forth in Vyyo's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and in other periodic reports filed by Vyyo with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time.
