PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 30, 2002

Copper Mountain's VantEdge(TM) Broadband Services Concentrator

and InfoValue's QuickVideo OnDemand Software Enable Central

Office-Based Video-On-Demand Services, Minimizing Capital and

Operational Costs in the Network

Copper Mountain Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq:CMTN), a leading provider of intelligent broadband access solutions, and InfoValue Computing, Inc., a provider of high-performance video-on-demand (VoD) and video streaming software, today unveiled a joint solution that enables large-scale broadband service providers to cost-effectively deliver on-demand video to thousands of subscribers over existing access networks. Copper Mountain's VantEdge(TM) Broadband Services Concentrator and InfoValue's QuickVideo OnDemand (QVOD) software interoperate in the central office (CO) to support insertion of on-demand video content at the network's edge. The CO-based Copper Mountain/InfoValue VoD solution dramatically lowers the capital and operating costs associated with delivering on-demand video and seamlessly integrates with existing access networks, including installed DSL Access Multiplexers (DSLAMs) from leading manufacturers.

"The biggest challenge service providers face in offering new broadband services is delivering these new services profitably," said Chris Shaver, Director of Marketing, at Copper Mountain Networks. "The Copper Mountain/InfoValue solution leverages the existing access infrastructure and adds the key functionality required to dramatically reduce the additional capital and bandwidth requirements typically associated with video on demand. This offers large-scale broadband service providers an economically viable option for video-on-demand services."

"Copper-based broadband service providers must expand their service portfolios to include video services, especially in the face of competitive threats from cable operators offering data and voice services," said Thomas Eng, Manager, Business Development, at InfoValue. "Copper Mountain's VantEdge Broadband Services Concentrator and InfoValue's QuickVideo OnDemand server offer service providers a turnkey VoD solution that makes on-demand video over DSL a revenue- and earnings-enhancing reality."

Video-on-Demand: CO is the Key

The key to making VoD profitable is inserting content as close as possible to the edge of a service provider's network. Delivering VHS-quality VoD from a metro office or point of presence (PoP) requires providers to send potentially thousands of video streams, at a minimum of 1.5 Mbps each, across access networks to DSLAMs in COs. Substantial additional investments in trunk bandwidth, switches, and interfaces are required, along with a lengthy and complex planning and provisioning process. These increased costs and networking complexity make metro-based VoD services cost prohibitive. The Copper Mountain and InfoValue solution, deployed in the CO, solves these key cost and complexity issues, offering service providers several benefits including:

-- Dramatic cost reduction: By colocating a VoD server in the CO along with the
VantEdge, providers can limit video streaming to "last-mile" copper wire and
eliminate the need to add additional transport and switching capacity.

-- New revenue, differentiated service: By bundling VoD with additional
services to broadband subscribers, providers maximize their broadband service
revenues and profits, while differentiating their offering from competitors.

-- Fast roll out: CO-based services have minimal impact on upstream metro
network equipment and bandwidth requirements, reducing the cost and
provisioning time to offer new services.

"Broadband providers are under pressure to grow revenue streams for high-speed access networks, and delivering higher value services, such as video, is one way to approach the revenue growth issue," said Beth Gage, Executive Vice President, at TeleChoice, Inc. "CO-based solutions and partnerships, like the Copper Mountain/InfoValue video-on-demand solution, can help broadband providers by significantly improving the business case to offer these services to a wide customer base."

Copper Mountain will demonstrate the CO-based VantEdge/QuickVideo OnDemand solution at SUPERCOMM in Atlanta, Ga., June 4-6, 2002, at booth #21946. A solution brief entitled "Central Office-Based Video on Demand: The Key to VoD Service Profitability," which describes the companies' solution, will be available at the Copper Mountain booth at SUPERCOMM and on Copper Mountain's Web site on June 4, at http://www.coppermountain.com.

About QuickVideo OnDemand

First introduced in 1996, InfoValue's QuickVideo OnDemand (QVOD) software represents the first and still the fastest video-on-demand server technology for the Intel platform. QVOD delivers high-quality, fully interactive on-demand video over any IP compatible network, including (but not necessarily limited to) Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, ATM, wireless, and xDSL networks. QVOD supports MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 (Program and Transport), with planned support for MPEG-4 in the near future. QVOD's patented streaming technology offers the highest streaming performance on the Intel platform and streams high-quality video to a greater number of end-users than competitive products. As an example, QVOD can support over 500 Mbps of simultaneous on-demand streaming from a single 2U Pentium III server. QVOD is currently supported on the Windows NT, Windows 2000, and Linux platforms.
