Press Release Summary: Companies to simplify management of On Demand Video with its
technology integration

Press Release Body: London, March 10, 2008 - Industria, a leading IPTV solutions
provider, and Edgeware, a technology leader in on-demand TV, have signed a
partnership agreement that focuses on close technical cooperation between the
companies. Under this agreement, both parties commit to closer cooperation on both
technical levels as within sales and marketing.
Building on a clear vision of where the IPTV industry is headed Edgeware and
Industria are aiming to lower the complexities of setting up service and building a
reliable and scalable infrastructure.
Industria recently announced Zignal Cloud, wherein service providers are able to
subscribe to the Zignal middleware solution as a service; lowering total cost of
ownership, decreasing time to market and focusing their efforts on customer care and
marketing. Now, through pre-integration with Zignal Cloud, service providers can
reduce the time to market for on-demand TV services.
Thorsteinn Yngvi Gudmundsson VP Product Development at Industria commented "We are
truly excited to strengthen the relationship with Edgeware. Being able to offer
service providers running their operation on Zignal Cloud pre-integrated access to
the Edgeware solutions creates clear a business value for them. And for the end user
it ensures Time-shift TV, VoD and nPVR are available from the start."
Gran Appelquist VP Business Development at Edgeware commented: "Edgeware is pleased
that the Orbit 2x on-demand server system is integrated with the innovative Zignal
platform. We see the interest in rolling Time-shift TV services picking up rapidly
among the service providers, and with the joint solution we can offer an attractive
solution."
Currently Zignal Cloud is available by invitation only, but service providers can
apply to be included in the program from the Industria website, www.industria.com.
Zignal Cloud will be commercially available in the third quarter of 2008.
