Press Release Body: Montreal, QC, January 9th 2008 - Accedian Networks Inc., a
leading provider of Network Performance Assurance Solutions for Ethernet Service
Providers, has been selected by OCRI as one of Canada's Top 10 Technology Companies.


Winners were chosen by an independent expert panel of Canadian and US venture
capitalists.

\"I continue to be impressed by the quality of companies that I see coming out of
Canada," says Bernhardt Zeisig, Director, VIMAC Ventures LLC (Competition Juror).

Accedian provides Network Performance Assurance Solutions for Ethernet Service
Providers. Its Ethernet Service Assurance Platform allows clearly defining,
maintaining and assuring Ethernet SLAs ("Service Level Agreements") from End-to-End.
Accedian's Service Assurance Platform can be used in diverse applications, one
sector from which the Company is seeing enormous traction at the moment is wireless
backhaul. Wireless Service providers have started shifting their Cell site Backhaul
technology from T1 to Ethernet which is much more efficient to support the bandwidth
explosion of 4G/EV-DO/HSDPA wireless services. Accedian is currently taking part in
North America's very first 4G deployment.

"Being honoured as one of Canada's Top 10 Technology companies is a great
recognition of our company and product offering" said Patrick Ostiguy, President and
CEO of Accedian Networks. "In the past year, Accedian has grown and increased its
market share tremendously. Our solutions allow our customers from all around the
world to deliver Service Performance with Assurance."
