Copper Mountain's CopperEdge(R) DSL Concentrators, Coupled

with InfoValue's QuickVideo Streaming Software, Enable MTU Providers

to Deliver Latest Films to Customers' TVs, and Concurrent,

Always-On Internet Access to Their Computers

Copper Mountain Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq:CMTN), a provider of Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) and T1 access solutions for business and residential users, and InfoValue Computing, Inc., a provider of high-performance video-streaming software, today announced they are partnering to enable broadband providers to deliver on-demand movies and other streaming-video content to customers in multi-tenant unit (MTU) buildings over existing copper phone wires. Copper Mountain and InfoValue are co-marketing a solution enabling cost-effective, concurrent delivery of both high-quality video-on-demand and high-speed Internet access. The Copper Mountain/InfoValue video-on-demand solution allows MTU broadband customers to select from scores of the latest film titles for viewing at their convenience.

Copper Mountain's CopperEdge(R) 200 and CopperEdge 150 DSL concentrators interoperate with InfoValue's QuickVideo streaming software and third-party CopperCompatible(TM) Asymmetric DSL (ADSL) customer premise equipment (CPE) to deliver video-on-demand to customers' TVs via set-top boxes, while concurrently delivering high-speed Internet access to customers' computers. Equipped with IP IQ(TM), Copper Mountain's Internet Protocol (IP) service intelligence, CopperEdge concentrators enable providers to deliver video-on-demand and high-speed Internet access simultaneously over a single copper phone line to MTU customers, without investing in expensive, additional routers or switches.

"InfoValue's QuickVideo streaming software and Copper Mountain's CopperEdge DSL concentrators enable providers to cost-effectively leverage a building's existing copper-wire infrastructure to bring a virtual video store directly to their customers' TV sets, while simultaneously delivering high-speed Internet access to their customers' computers," said Rick Gilbert, president and chief executive officer (CEO) at Copper Mountain Networks. "By bundling video-on-demand with high-speed Internet access, in-building broadband providers can offer prospective customers a very compelling service mix."

"Currently, there is tremendous market demand for high-quality movie-on-demand services to the home," said Monsong Chen, president and CEO of InfoValue. "The challenge is to have a practical and commercially viable system deployed today that can also smoothly and continuously grow in the future. The Copper Mountain/InfoValue video-on-demand solution for MTU buildings meets this challenge with its low start-up cost, open architecture, and continuous expansion capability."

"Consumer interest in video-on-demand is high, and the MDU market is ripe for broadband service deployment," said Erik Keith at Current Analysis. "The Copper Mountain/InfoValue solution for video-on-demand over MTUs' installed copper phone lines enables providers to quickly deploy this highly appealing service and bundle it with high-speed Internet access to offer a very compelling value proposition for prospective subscribers."

About the Copper Mountain/InfoValue On-Demand Video Solution

The Copper Mountain/InfoValue on-demand video solution enables broadband providers to cost-effectively deliver movies and other video content concurrently with high-speed Internet access to customers in multi-tenant unit (MTU) buildings over buildings' existing copper phone wires. MTU customers are able to select movies at their convenience from among scores of titles archived on in-building video servers and updated regularly over the Internet. The joint solution can use MPEG-2 streaming to deliver pay-per-view VHS or DVD-quality video to end-users' TV set-top boxes. For the end-user, the Copper Mountain/InfoValue on-demand video solution is like having a continuously updated video library in the living room.

While MPEG-2 is the prevalent method for delivering high quality video today, the joint solution also allows other video-coding techniques to be used, enabling even more applications. Specialized content, such as local content, can be delivered to the set-top box or customers' computers as well. With its standards-based open architecture, numerous business models are enabled by this fully integrated video and data solution.

InfoValue's server-based QuickVideo streaming software interoperates with collocated CopperEdge DSL concentrators to deliver video streams to TV set-top boxes via third-party CopperCompatible ADSL CPE. Equipped with IP IQ(TM), Copper Mountain's industry-leading IP service intelligence, CopperEdge concentrators distinguish between real-time video traffic and best-effort Internet traffic, forwarding traffic to and from the video server or the Internet as appropriate, and eliminating the need for providers to deploy a separate router or switch to handle video streams. IP IQ enables CopperEdge concentrators to aggregate broadband customers' Internet traffic on a single permanent virtual circuit through the network backbone, and into the POP, dramatically reducing service-provisioning time and costs while also reducing the hardware requirements of the backbone.
