Navic Announces Availability of Solutions for Motorola Platform.

Entering Certification Later This Spring

NEEDHAM, Mass. -- Navic Networks' expands the availability of its industry-leading interactive television solutions for the Motorola/TV Guide i-Guide platform with support for addressable advertising and enhanced television among others. The solutions will enter Acadia certification in late spring of 2007 and once certified have the potential to nearly double Navic's deployment footprint. Navic's interactive television solutions are currently deployed on millions of digital set-top boxes across North America and with the addition of Motorola represent an expanded opportunity for advertisers and programmers to deploy interactivity across multiple markets and operators.

"We look forward to deploying products using Navic's interactive television solutions with its measurement and reporting capabilities," said Tom Carson, President, TV Guide Interactive Program Guides. "Providing this technology to the industry is a very important step in our ongoing efforts to understand consumer guidance and advertising usage."

Navic's interactive solutions available on Motorola include:

* Addressable Advertising - providing targeted interactive overlay enhancements for spot advertisements.

* Advertising Destinations - enabling non-linear advertising experiences for self-selected viewers.

* Audience Measurement - providing accurate, real-time measurement of television programming and commercial viewership.

* Diagnostic Data Collection - providing the collection and distribution services that enable MSOs to extend the functionality and revenue generating capabilities inherent in their networks of subscriber services.

* Enhanced TV - providing targeted interactive overlay enhancements for engaging audiences during programming.

* Information Services - providing digital cable subscribers with instant access to local and time-sensitive information.

* Interactive Customer Care (ICC) - providing digital cable subscribers with the ability to manage their accounts through their settop boxes.

"Adding support for Motorola was the next logical step in furthering the deployment of our interactive solutions," remarked Matt Emans, vice president product management, Navic Networks. "Now with broader support for our applications, operators will have more choices and those with a mixed environment will be able to run applications across their entire deployments."

Using Navic's HyperCast Network, addressable advertising and enhanced TV applications can be deployed seamlessly across systems, regardless of whether the system uses Scientific Atlanta, Pioneer, Pace or Motorola set-top boxes. HyperCast logically connects local, disparate cable systems together and provides a central service platform from which operators define their business rules, and programmers and advertisers manage their interactive content across these cable systems.

In addition to Motorola/TV Guide's i-Guide, Navic's solutions are available on multiple platforms including SA/Pegasus, integrated with SARA, Aptiv's Passport, and Time Warner's MDN resident applications, OCAP and the TVWorks OnRamp platform.
