SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 24, 2002

New iMux IP-to-ASI Gateways Now Available Worldwide

On-demand services will soon be available in more consumers' living rooms because of Scientific-Atlanta's new gigabit Ethernet transport (Prisma GbE) system, unveiled at the SCTE cable show in San Antonio. At the heart of the system is the iMux, a newly developed IP-to-ASI gateway, which performs synchronization, conversion and multiplexing of IP streams received by the Gigabit Ethernet interface into MPEG streams transmitted over DVB-ASI interfaces. The iMux, developed and manufactured by Path 1 Network Technologies (OTCBB:PNWK)(Frankfurt: PNT) is available for shipment worldwide from Scientific-Atlanta (NYSE:SFA) and has been tested to be interoperable with major VOD servers.

A prior version of the iMux was originally developed by Path 1 for BarcoNet, n.v. (now owned by Scientific-Atlanta). The new, Scientific-Atlanta iMux is the result of significant improvements, which now enable up to 160 IP-encapsulated MPEG-2 video streams to be delivered at increased throughput rates to QAM modulators in a distributed HFC network.

"Path 1's ground-breaking and trial-tested technology has resulted in the development and production of the iMux, the only device truly capable of addressing and compensating for the network jitter issues inherent in an IP network", said Jason Shreeram, product manager, Prisma VoD Transport Products for Scientific-Atlanta. "While others have done lip service to IP, only the iMux provides a guaranteed delivery of broadcast-quality VOD streams despite inherent IP network impairments. By ensuring proper timing and synchronization of video streams, our iMux provides MSOs the ability to deliver to consumers movies, other on-demand programs and live events at high-quality levels, both today and in the future, at high network load levels and from remote locations. By providing best in class jitter reduction, we can provide our customers guaranteed high quality video solutions over IP that allow switched IP networks to aggregate server content in a central location and utilize the power of switched IP solutions. The excitement over the iMux and the Prisma GbE transmission system generated at SCTE's Cable Tec Expo leads us to believe that we will see significant VoD over IP deployments during the next twelve month period as more and more MSOs recognize the frailties of an uncontrolled IP network and the compelling advantage of having the complete network control that the Path 1 developed iMux offers."

IP delivery promises greater scalability and considerably lower operational cost than standard delivery networks. Path 1 CEO, Frederick Cary explained, "Operators can easily and cost-effectively narrowcast video streams to any digital set-top from any server instead of having to build expensive dedicated channels between a server and a set-top. Our partnership with Scientific-Atlanta means that cable operators will have global access to robust IP technologies necessary to immediately make new service offerings available to their customers." Mr. Cary added, "Path 1 continues to develop new products designed to address IP network issues, such as our recently announced Cx1401 demultiplexer, and we remain ready to provide these solutions under private label to Scientific-Atlanta, a true market leader in the cable industry, as it continues to build upon its IP and Gigabit Ethernet-based product offerings."
