Business Editors/High Technology Writers

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 7, 2001

Cox Communications, Inc. (NYSE:COX) has announced its selection of Concurrent Computer Corporation (Nasdaq:CCUR) as the Video-On-Demand (VOD) solution provider for deployment of Movies on Demand in its Hampton Roads, Virginia, cable television system where Concurrent's MediaHawk(TM) Broadband VOD System has been purchased and will be shipping later this month. As part of the MediaHawk VOD solution, Cox has purchased Concurrent's integrated QAMs, which will result in a significant cost savings for the operator. Cox plans for the initial deployment of the service to begin during the third quarter of 2001. The deployment of Movies on Demand in the Hampton Roads system, Cox's fifth largest cable television system, is significant because it expands Cox's deployment of interactive television (ITV)/VOD services to the Motorola digital platform. As a company, Cox uses both the Scientific-Atlanta and Motorola digital platforms. Cox Communications previously selected Concurrent's MediaHawk for deployment of Movies on Demand in its San Diego system and for a trial in its Phoenix system, which both use the Scientific-Atlanta platform.

John Hildebrand, vice president of Multimedia Technology for Cox Communications, commented, "Concurrent has proven the viability of its interactive television platform, its technology prowess, and its ability to quickly and seamlessly integrate with other third party partners." He concluded, "Based on its proven performance, selecting Concurrent to launch Movies on Demand in our first Motorola system is the best strategy for Cox."

"Being selected by Cox for its first Motorola-based Movies on Demand deployment is a great honor for us," stated Jack Bryant, Concurrent president and CEO. "As a company, we have to prove ourselves every day. We are grateful for the opportunities Cox has given us and look forward to duplicating our success in its Hampton Roads system."

Concurrent's MediaHawk(TM) Broadband VOD System features the MediaHawk Model 2000 Video Server and MediaHawk BackOffice Business Management System (BMS), which provide cable operators all the tools necessary to run their VOD business from end-to-end. The MediaHawk BackOffice BMS includes a complete business management 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.
