Hatteras Networks' EtherFLEX solutions revolutionize Metro Ethernet and Mobile Backhaul delivery for service providers, allowing them to deliver robust and resilient transport services for business connectivity and mobile

wireless backhaul over the existing last-mile, copper infrastructure. The service creation capabilities provided by Hatteras Networks' EtherFLEX solutions, allow service providers to significantly increase the capacity and resiliency of data, voice and video services over their access networks.

The InfoVision Award finalists were selected by a panel of judges from the Broadband World Forum Europe 2008 Technical Program Committee, which consists of industry experts from vendor companies, service providers and industry associations. Entries were judged according to the value of the technology, its overall quality of innovation and its contribution to technology advancement and industry growth, as well as its degree of success in the marketplace.

"The IEC's InfoVision Awards commend the top contributors to the information and communications technologies (ICT) industry. We're extremely pleased to recognize Hatteras Networks as an InfoVision finalist for two of its innovative Mid-Band Ethernet and Mobile Backhaul solutions," announced IEC President John Janowiak.

"We are delighted to receive this level of recognition from the IEC for our industry-leading family of Mid-Band Ethernet and Mobile Backhaul products which offer service providers a compelling value proposition and quick return on investment," said Kevin Sheehan, CEO of Hatteras Networks. "The judges' selection underlines our commitment to delivering best-in-class solutions to service providers worldwide looking to grow new top-line revenue while reducing costs."

Winners of this year's InfoVision Award will be announced at the Broadband World Forum Europe on Tuesday, 30 September 2008 at the Brussels Expo, Brussels, Belgium.

About Hatteras Networks

Hatteras Networks is redefining the way carriers think about Ethernet services. Hatteras Networks' EtherFLEX service delivery solutions are leading Service Providers worldwide to a $24 billion expansion of the Metro Ethernet market, which had previously been limited to the fiber footprint. Historically, T1s and E1s have been the fundamental building blocks for voice and data business services. Now, Service Providers can cost- effectively offer up to 45 Mbps Mid-Band Ethernet services over existing copper facilities, enabling businesses to migrate from legacy Frame Relay, ATM and T1/E1 connections to transparent Ethernet services for voice and data business connectivity, infrastructure backhaul and mobile wireless backhaul solutions.

Already deployed on five continents, Hatteras Networks solutions are enabling a market expansion for carriers that is as significant for business services as "triple play" is for residential. For more information, visit www.hatterasnetworks.com.
