STOCKHOLM, Sweden, December 19/PRNewswire/ --

- New Danish Cable and IPTV Service Built on Edgeware's Orbit 2x Server
Platform

Edgeware today announced that Danish cable TV operator Telia Stofa is
using the Orbit 2x server system to deliver the on-demand functionality of
their new Zaptor service. Edgeware's distributed server solution enables
Telia Stofa to smoothly integrate on-demand capabilities into their existing
network, in a scalable and future proof architecture. The Zaptor service will
offer video on-demand and time-shift TV in SD and HD quality.

"Telia Stofa sees a variety of opportunities in interactive TV. User
trials indicate that the market is mature for on-demand services, better
TV-signals and that the end users want influence on the programme mix. An
important factor for Stofa has been to build an IP-based infrastructure that
can be up scaled when the customer base is expanding. We think that the
Edgeware Orbit2x server system fulfil our demand for a flexible solution,
says Thomas Helbo," development manager at Stofa, TeliaSoneras Danish
cable-TV-provider.

Edgeware's Orbit 2x servers, which are capable of delivering 20 Gbps
streaming from solid state flash memory, are arranged hierarcically.
Distributed Edgeware servers close to the subscribers, deliver the most
popular films and TV programmes, while central configurations of the Orbit 2x
deliver the full content depth. Content propagation is automatically managed
by Edgeware's Convoy(TM) system which minimizes the need for core network
bandwidth.

"We are honoured to have been selected by Telia Stofa, to power their
advanced service. It marks an undisputable recognition of our solution also
in a cable environment." says Joachim Roos, CEO of Edgeware. "Telia Stofa is
a good example of a customer who sees the benefits of using our network
deployed solid state appliances in a decentralized architecture. This is a
less expensive, more scalable and smarter way of deploying than stacking
generic computers in data centers."
