ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 28, 2001

Concurrent Enables New Revenue-Generating Options for All

Broadband Network Operators; Motorola Makes VOD and Interactive TV a

Reality for NAS-based Operators

Concurrent Computer Corporation (Nasdaq:CCUR), the pioneer and market leader in video-on-demand (VOD) commercial deployments, today announced its Small Market model solution for VOD and interactive television (iTV) services. To be deployed on the Motorola digital platform via Motorola's National Authorization Service (NAS), the Small Market model solution allows interactive content to be propagated and managed over satellite to cable headends, and transmitted to broadband customers. Concurrent and Motorola previously joined forces for the first NAS-based VOD and iTV deployment, announced in October with Mediacom - the eighth largest cable television operator in the United States.

Concurrent and Motorola are optimizing the use of satellite distribution of VOD and iTV to digital subscribers. With 7.5 million NAS-controlled Motorola DCT digital set-top terminals deployed, the market potential for this Small Market solution is significant. With the NAS digital solution, any operator can readily deploy new interactive services without having to invest in access control infrastructure upgrades or operating staff and can use their existing DCT set-tops. In addition, the satellite-supported content feed enables the cable systems to increase overall system bandwidth, making room for new revenue opportunities and applications. With the combined Concurrent and Motorola capabilities, small to mid-size operators are now poised to offer economical cable services that include all current and future iTV applications.

The suite of iTV services includes interactive programming, such as VOD, subscription VOD (SVOD), news and information services, interactive advertising, e-commerce, enhanced TV, and interactive games. Other features of the system include navigator integration with TVGuide, centralized content management with satellite content delivery, and a centralized back office, including billing and reconciliation operations. Concurrent's architecture - in particular its scalability, density, reliability, and cost-effectiveness - is well suited to NAS-based applications.

Lou Mastrocola, director of product management for Motorola Broadband's DigiCable(R) business, said, "We are excited to work with Concurrent on the industry's first NAS-based VOD deployment at Mediacom. Concurrent's VOD and SVOD market leadership, combined with Motorola's DCT2000 set-top - the most widely deployed in the world - opens up unlimited possibilities in the NAS-based market. This new offering enables us to deliver interactive television to our smaller market operator-customers as soon as we deploy it on the Motorola platform, providing them with a cost-effective means of offering iTV services."

"Mediacom is the first of what we anticipate to be many customers for our NAS-based VOD and iTV services," said Bruce Bradley, vice president, Product Management, Concurrent. "We are excited to be working with Motorola on this Small Market model solution and view this as an innovative iTV platform that will enable broadband network operators to deploy new digital services with cost-effectiveness, on a fast-track schedule. The Motorola NAS-controlled platform is particularly attractive to broadband network operators serving mid-size to smaller markets, providing them with an optimal solution for implementing VOD in their systems. Motorola's digital platform and NAS-supported DCT2000 set-tops provide the window into the home for the exciting iTV services that subscribers enjoy most."

Concurrent's MediaHawk(TM) Broadband VOD System features the MediaHawk Model 2000 Video Server and MediaHawk Business Management System (BMS), which provide operators with all the tools necessary to run their VOD business from end-to-end. The MediaHawk BMS includes a complete system for managing content, subscriber demographic information, transaction and usage analysis, billing, and order fulfillment. The MediaHawk Model 2000 Video Server is a high-performance, scalable, digital video server that offers industry-leading performance and provides the most reliable response time achievable in the worldwide marketplace today. Concurrent's VOD technology enables subscribers to use a digital set-top box to instantly call up digital movies from a list of major movie titles and control their selected movie with VCR-like functionality including fast forward, pause, and rewind.
