Press Release Summary = Montreal, QC, May 9th, 2007 - Accedian Networks Inc., a
leading provider of Ethernet Demarcation Devices, today announced that it has added
a new EVC Aggregation Ethernet Demarcation Device to its EtherNIDT product family.

Press Release Body = Because businesses may not have the required in-house IT
expertise or resources to un-bundle aggregated Ethernet services, they will
sometimes require the service provider to offer a fan-out of EVCs (i.e. VLANs) on
different physical ports, e.g. for VoIP, Best-Effort Internet or Transparent VLAN
Services. The EtherNIDT VEE and EtherNIDT VOE offer an easy solution to this need by
providing one 10/100M Network-side port (Electrical for VEE and Optical for VOE) and
two 10/100M Client-side ports, each assigned with its own EVC, in addition to
performing a complete Ethernet Demarcation function.

"On top of offering differentiated and ready-to-use EVCs, the EtherNID VEE/VOE now
allows service providers to save expensive ports on their upstream provider edge
platforms and therefore double the amount of customer ports that can be offered
within a service area" said Patrick Ostiguy, President and CEO of Accedian Networks
"all of this while providing the industry's most powerful Ethernet Demarcation
functionality."

Furthermore, the EtherNIDT VEE and VOE feature the same high-performance Fast-ThruT
engine as other EtherNIDT products, and thus minimizes intrinsic packet-jitter and
latency of the device; sub-microsecond at 100% wire-speed for all packet sizes,
including Jumbo packets up to 10,000 bytes, thus avoiding the introduction any
significant latency or jitter to the service itself. Accedian's Performance
Assurance AgentT, the industry's most precise multi-instance SLA-MeterT, also allows
providers to ensure their Quality of Service according to standard SLA parameters
such as latency, jitter, packet loss, and availability in a variety of
configurations (point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, mesh) at both Layer 2 and Layer
3.
