Press Release Body = Izegem, August, 2007 - Skyline Communications, leading supplier
of multi-vendor network management solutions, announces that it has been awarded a
prestigious contract by GlobeCast for the supply of a global DataMiner network

GlobeCast services. The solution will include installations of DataMiner technology

global operations.

Dictated by an ever more competitive market and increasingly complex technical
environments, around-the-clock monitoring of service quality and availability has
become indispensable for operators who are determined to prevail, and therefore not
surprisingly it is one of the killer applications of DataMiner. Because of the
unique multi-vendor capabilities of DataMiner, operators can freely choose to deploy
just any measurement and quality assessment probes from any vendor, and process the
collected information with one powerful standard set of applications, including for
example alarming, trending, reporting, automation, correlation, key performance
indicator dashboards and real-time service level agreement tracking.

After considering several different technologies available in the market, GlobeCast
chose DataMiner as the technology that best enabled them to create end-to-end
visibility for its global services. Its powerful multi-vendor capabilities will
enable GlobeCast to source data from any type of measurement and quality assessment
probe, which is vital for the roll-out today and the operations in the years to
come. The platform allows for all kinds of applications such as alarming,
notification, reporting, SLA tracking, etc.

\"We are extremely honored being selected by this top leading operator, with a
five-continent satellite and fiber network, for a global project to manage the
quality and availability of all services end-to-end,\" added Ben Vandenberghe, Sales
& Marketing Director at Skyline Communications. \"This project really enables us to
unleash all the features and capabilities of DataMiner, and it will be a milestone
for the network management industry as GlobeCast will be the first to create true
real-time global visibility on its entire operations from one single user
interface. And this is only possible by combining the dedication of GlobeCast to
innovate and to offer its customers unrivaled quality and Skyline\'s leading
DataMiner multi-vendor network management technology.\"
