SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Symmetricom, Inc. (NASDAQ: SYMM), a worldwide leader in precise time and frequency products and services, today announced that David Cox has been promoted to executive vice president and general manager of the company's new QoE (Quality of Experience) Assurance Division. David joined Symmetricom as vice president of corporate business development in April 2006. Earlier this year, Symmetricom announced its acquisition of QoSmetrics, a privately held provider of QoE solutions for IPTV and other triple play services, now part of the new division.

"Under the direction of David Cox, we expect that the QoE Assurance Division will establish a strong market position in IPTV/QoE markets, building upon our core expertise in generating precise time and synchronization for next generation networks," commented Tom Steipp, CEO of Symmetricom. "QoE is a logical extension of our position in existing communication networks and places us in the path of customer initiatives to deploy IPTV and other triple play services."

Prior to Symmetricom, David was the CEO of Norwegian-based mobile search firm Stochasto ASA, and also co-founded and served as the president and CEO of BlueKite, a mobile Internet software company in the bandwidth optimization space. At BlueKite, David and his team raised over $50 million in venture capital funding and served customers that included British Telecom, Vodafone, Swisscom, Telia Sonera and Sprint PCS. He was also a partner in the Silicon Valley office of Danish venture fund 2M Invest and served as a consultant with McKinsey & Company, advising companies in the U.S., Mexico and SE Asia on issues of corporate strategy and organization. He previously served as a board director for Enable Semiconductor (acquired by Lucent) and currently serves on the board of directors for Covenant House California. David holds a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from the University of Texas and a Masters Degree in Business Administration from the Stanford University Graduate School of Business.

"I am excited to be a part of the team at Symmetricom that is looking to extend our market leadership into the emerging QoE market for IPTV," commented David Cox, executive vice president and general manager of Symmetricom. "These efforts will enable us to continue to support our telecom customers' most critical needs for delivering multimedia services over converged IP infrastructures. While our core businesses of precise timing and synchronization products will continue to drive innovation in these core technology areas for NGN implementation, we are confident that our new QoE initiative will provide an even broader base of mission-critical solutions for our key customers."
