Kontron booth # 3937

Chicago, (NXTcomm Conference), June 19, 2007 Enea (Nordic Exchange/Small
Cap/ENEA), a world leading provider of network software and services, and
Kontron, a leading developer of standard-based, custom embedded and mobile
rugged solutions, together today announced the IPTV Experience, a global,
broad-based industry initiative created to address the major design,
technology and business challenges impeding widespread adoption of IPTV.
Kicking off this initiative, Enea and Kontron will host during NXTcomm a
number of activities including a panel discussion moderated by Steven Hawley
from the at Multimedia Research Group (MRG). Participating companies in this
panel include Intel Corp and RADVISION.

³Our recent research estimates that there will be 63.6 million IPTV
subscribers by 2011, and they will demand the highest Quality of Experience
in order to remain loyal,² said Steve Hawley, senior IPTV analyst at MRG.
³Industry initiatives like IPTV Experience provide a unified and systemic
view of the complex IPTV ecosystem, helping to ensure the highest-quality
implementations to support subscriber demands.²

The IPTV Experience initiative provides guidance, information and
best-practices for overcoming the major challenges in IPTV delivery:
€ High Network Processing Capability Network processing performance is
crucial in relieving I/O bottlenecks and managing concurrent data streams
efficiently for IPTV. Multi-core processing technology allows network
equipment designers to add required performance headroom.

€ Proven Standardized Platforms Commercial off-the-shelf solutions allow
developers to leverage advanced technology, while remaining focused on core
competencies. Open-standards-based platforms enable IPTV interoperability
allowing service providers to customize and create value-added services.
€ Manageability The ability to manage the network, perform upgrades,
service existing equipment and avoid IPTV downtime is more important than
ever. With increasing subscriber demands, service providers demand network
visibility and management at the blade, module and system levels.
€ Scalability To prepare and build a system for change, it is important
for service providers to implement technology that is flexible, scalable and
easy to upgrade. The need to support emerging technology and provide
increased performance, places greater emphasis on hardware adaptability in
network deployments.

€ High Reliability and Availability In an ³always on² environment, IPTV
systems must be extremely available and reliable.
Network element and application failure negatively impact the QoE. With
on-demand content, it is essential that a high availability framework be
implemented that supports controlled and managed failover.
€ Interactivity With the emerging ability to support High Definition
resolutions on decoders, and System-on-Chip integrated decoders,
introduction of full interactive video services based on IPTV and IP
set-top-box models that go beyond Video on Demand and Electronic Program
Guide are becoming a reality. Live interaction between people becomes a
springboard for an entirely new paradigm of communication.
€ Fast Time to Market Widespread adoption of IPTV requires network
equipment manufacturers to adopt a standards driven, commercial COTS
approach to accelerate development cycles and continue to meet demands.

Because consumers have come to expect a high level of quality through
traditional television viewing, the single most important barrier to
widespread adoption of IPTV is Quality of Service and maximum QoE. In order
to deliver the highest quality IPTV experience to the consumer mainstream
faster, technology vendors, equipment manufacturers and service providers
must work together to create optimized IPTV solutions that provide superior
QoE. The IPTV Experience initiative unites leading technologies and industry
expertise to drive IPTV best practices and standards. For more information
