Enea Announces Industry's Most Advanced High Availability Middleware Solution 

Enea Element 3.0 Features SA Forum AMF Implementation, In-Service Upgrades, and
Advanced DSP Management Support

IPTV World, London, UK and MVA Conference, San Francisco, CA - March 11, 2008 -
Enea (Nordic Exchange/Small Cap/ENEA), a world leading provider of network
software and services, today announced Enea Element 3.0, the industry's most
advanced middleware platform for building carrier grade network equipment. Enea
Element 3.0 provides a number of key features that enhance service availability,
including a full implementation of the SA Forum's Availability Management
Framework (AMF), support for in-service upgrades, and the ability to manage DSP
farms in the user plane.

“Enea Element 3.0 is the first comprehensive commercial off the shelf middleware
package to address all aspects of a system's service availability and
manageability,” said Terry Pearson, vice president of marketing for Enea. “Enea
Element has the most proven reliability and quality track record in the
industry, as evidenced by its deployment by a wide variety of customers from
tier 1s to start ups.”

Enea Element is a high-availability, standards-based middleware platform for
building robust, high-performance applications that integrate hardware and
system software components into a cohesive communications platform.  Enea
Element gives equipment makers the COTS middleware platform they need to rapidly
deliver next generation communications systems while lowering costs, reducing
risk and focusing development efforts on innovation and differentiation.

Enea Element provides core services for instrumenting, monitoring, and
synchronizing applications spread across multiple operating systems and
processors. It also provides network supervision, fault management, and shelf
management services that make it easier to monitor, repair, configure, and
upgrade live systems as they operate in the field. 

Enea Element 3.0 enhances fault management flexibility and maximizes up time by
providing full support for the SA Forum Availability Management Framework, the
most mature component of the SA Forum's Application Interface Specification.
Included are new redundancy models for 2N, N + M, N-way, and N-way-active
configurations, fail-over modes that enable active and stand-by components to
reside on the same or different nodes, and flexible, configurable, “health
monitoring” capabilities. Developers can now map the best redundancy model to
their application, thereby reducing development time and cost, and enhancing
performance.

Enea Element 3.0's in-service upgrade feature also reduces down time associated
with system upgrades, extending existing support for cluster-wide,
mixed-application version management to individual components or nodes. This
fine-grain capability enables individual components (and other affected nodes)
to be selectively loaded and restarted in a coordinated fashion on a system-wide
basis, thereby increasing service availability and simplifying both upgrades and
system maintenance.

Enea Element 3.0 provides full support for the Enea dSPEED Platform, which
features DSP management and debug services such as start up and configuration,
monitoring, event notification, logging, tracing, diagnostics, statistics, and
remote debugging. This integrated management solution, the first of its kind to
span both the “control plane” and the “user plane”, provides fault detection,
DSP core isolation, recovery, coordinated restart, and notification features
that enable DSP failures to be contained and repaired - limiting packet loss and
network degradation. 

“Carrier Grade reliability is critical for 4DK as we create a new wireless user
experience that focuses on interoperability and exploits the full potential of
next-generation, all-IP technologies,” said Tamara Casey, 4DK CEO and
co-founder. “Enea Element is the industry's most advanced middleware platform
for building innovative network elements.  That's why we chose it as the
platform for our SuperConnectivity™ product suite, which is designed to provide
a higher level of service integration and interoperability than has ever been
experienced across the wireless ecosystem.”
