Press Release Summary = Chicago, IL, June 14th, 2007 - NXTcomm tradeshow booth #5421
- Accedian Networks Inc., a leading provider of SLA Assurance solutions and Ethernet
Demarcation Devices, today announced the release of a new Ethernet SLA Assurance
product offering geared towards Wireless Backhaul Networks.

Press Release Body = The Accedian EtherNIDT DE series allows Wireless Backhaul
service providers to guarantee stringent Ethernet SLA parameters between Base
Stations and Mobile Telephone Switching Offices (MTSO), a key requirement as
operators are converting their backhaul from TDM to Ethernet.

"Because Wireless Backhaul infrastructures involve multiple vendors, multiple
technologies and sometimes multiple carriers, there is currently no End-to-End way
to measure and assure the live performance of such Ethernet transport." said Patrick
Ostiguy, President and CEO of Accedian Networks Inc. "This is where Accedian's
unique technology comes into play."

The Accedian EtherNIDT DE series incorporates a highly accurate hardware-assisted
engine (PAAT) which allows constant and seamless in-service monitoring of Service
Level Agreement (SLA) parameters including: packet loss, latency (delay), jitter
(delay variation) and continuous End-To-End path Continuity Check (availability).
All of this is achieved in an End-to-end fashion, across multiple technologies,
multiple vendors, and multiple carriers.

Furthermore, the Accedian EtherNIDT DE is particularly well suited for high-density
wireless base stations with very limited rack space. Allowing up to 4 NID functions
in a single 1U, or an outstanding 24 independent NID functions in 4U, the EtherNIDT
DE features twice as much density as any other products in its category. The DE also
comes as standard with a total of 4 power input feeds which are mutually redundant:
Dual -48Vdc feeds, AC adapter and PoE. Each EtherNIDT DE unit only consumes 8 watts
and requires no fans.

Additionally, the EtherNIDT DE features 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 minimizing the introduction of latency or
jitter to the service itself.

Accedian's EtherNIDT DE will be demonstrated at NXTcomm 2007, June 19-21st,
McCormick Place, Chicago, booth #5421.
