INTRACOM TELECOM Delivers its fs|cdn™ IPTV Solution to Bruce Telecom in Canada

Athens, December 12, 2007 - INTRACOM TELECOM, a part of SITRONICS Telecom Solutions business division, today announced the delivery of its fs|cdn™ MPEG-4 IPTV Solution to Bruce Telecom of Ontario, Canada, through its subsidiary Conklin-INTRACOM, based in the U.S.

Bruce Telecom has selected fs|cdn™ MPEG-4 IPTV Delivery Solution to serve the lakeside communities of Kincardine, Port Elgin, Tiverton and Southampton. MPEG-4 compression technology is being utilized to reach customers served over copper in addition to those served by Bruce's fiber-to-the-home initiatives. A mix of high definition and standard definition video broadcast, music channels, and video-on-demand will be bundled in attractive packages to complement existing services.

Mr. Hans Nilsson, President and CEO of Bruce Telecom elaborates, "Bruce Telecom is entering into the video era with a strong vendor partner, Conklin-INTRACOM and the wider INTRACOM TELECOM Group. We selected the fs|cdn™ solution for its visionary architecture and ability to incorporate new content models with ease. In such a dynamic market, we didn't want to get locked into a static solution incapable of evolving to meet new technological challenges".

Mr. Ian Meletios, CEO of Conklin- INTRACOM, stated: "Bruce Telecom was searching for a strong leader in the delivery of both standard and high definition TV using MPEG-4. We are honored to be selected by Bruce Telecom and look forward to a long term business relationship with them."

In addition to providing the entire service range supported by IPTV middleware and conditional access solutions, the fs|cdn professional team is also providing supplemental system integration services to speed service delivery. The new video service is expected to be available to customers in early 2008.
