Press Release Body = Izegem, August, 2007 - Skyline Communications, global leading
supplier of multi-vendor network management solutions, announces that the leading
Belgian cable operator Telenet further expands its DataMiner network management
system for both return path monitoring across their entire HFC network
infrastructure and monitoring of its Uninterruptible Power Supplies in the recently
acquired UPC Belgium network.

In the late 90's Telenet deployed a Phasor return path monitoring system, a solution
which served the company well but became outdated. Because of the unique DataMiner
multi-vendor capabilities the installed base of Phasor hardware can be migrated
directly into the DataMiner network management software, and hence the company can
continue to leverage the substantial investments in the legacy proprietary DSP-565
analyzers and RPS return path switches, which results in significant savings.

As a result of the migration, Telenet will dispose of a state-of-the-art return path
monitoring environment with a plethora of functionality including alarming,
long-term trending, e-mail and SMS notification, professional time and event based
reporting, mobile access with PDA or smart phone, and much more. And in addition to
that, the return path monitoring will be fully integrated in a single consolidated
environment with the monitoring of other important HFC network assets, such as
optical transmitter/receivers and optical nodes, resulting in additional savings and
new opportunities.

Furthermore, Telenet decided to deploy DataMiner also for the monitoring and control
of the Uninterruptable Power Supplies (UPS), equipped with EuroDOCSIS modems, in the
recently acquired HFC network of UPC Belgium. With the DataMiner network management
system, Telenet will now have full visibility on the status of all UPS' deployed in
the HFC outdoor plant, and the DataMiner intelligent battery management features
will protect the considerable investment in batteries, and extend their life time.
And important added value is also generated by the fact that the UPS' are now
integrated into the same NMS environment as the optical nodes, optical
transmitter/receivers, return path monitoring, etc.

"Telenet was already one of our prime customers for our DataMiner technology, as
the solution was already deployed for the end-to-end management of their entire
master headend for interactive digital services in Mechelen and for the management
of technical infrastructure such as amongst other optical transmitter/receivers and
optical nodes across 28 regional headends," commented Ben Vandenberghe, Sales &
Marketing Director at Skyline Communications. "And of course we are very pleased
today with this decision of Telenet to continue to invest in DataMiner, and to
continue the consolidation of its network management into a single platform. The
company is already renowned for its progressive approach when it comes to
technology, and today with these important expansions on their DataMiner network
management system, Telenet will dispose of one of the most elaborate unified
perspectives on both their HFC broadband outdoor plant and their interactive
digital services master headend."
