Tilgin and Nordija jointly provides HD IPTV to TRE-FOR

Stockholm, Sweden, 22 September 2008: Tilgin, a leading provider of solutions
for multiplay and next-generation broadband services and Nordija, an independent
software vendor (ISV) developing middleware for IPTV environments, today
announce their collaboration to provide a HD IPTV solution to the Danish leading
utility company TRE-FOR with reference to Tilgin's earlier announcement in
August on an IPTV order from an influential Danish utility company. 

Together Tilgin and Nordija will provide a unique IPTV solution to their joint
customer TRE-FOR, who has decided to deliver HD (High Definition) IPTV to its
subscriber base. Nordija has been contracted by the Danish operator's broadband
subsidiary to provide IPTV middleware with additional adaptation to their
requirements based on their choice of Tilgin's IP Set-top media center. Tilgin
will provide its HD IPTV set-top solution, including its IPTV server software
for large-scale IP networks, named MBS.

TRE-FOR is one of Denmark's largest utility companies and the main supplier of
electricity, water and heating in the Danish Triangle Region. The broadband
activities are organized in TRE-FOR Bredband A/S and branded as Profiber in
cooperation with other utility companies NRGi and Ostjysk Energi. The product
range of TRE-FOR Profiber includes high speed Internet, attractive TV programs
and low-cost telephony on an optical fiber network. TRE-FOR Bredband has a
current client base of approximately 140,000 residential homes with the option
to supply multi-play services to another 260,000 residential homes through the
NRGi and Ostjysk Energi networks. 

“In our common TRE-FOR Profiber project our companies have come very close and
shown the potential to cooperate on similar IPTV projects”, says Bille Madsen
ITV Manager at Nordija. “This collaboration will strengthen the value
proposition for both parties and will be extended to other customers and
deployments around Europe and the Middle East”.

“To partner with Nordija gives us better reach in Denmark and outside
Scandinavia and at the same time a comprehensive offering to Danish operators
wanting to bring the advantages of next generation broadband to its users”, says
Ola Berglund, CEO at Tilgin. “There are a number of similar fiber network
operators all owned by regional utility companies in Denmark and we hope
TRE-FOR's HD choice and our collaboration with Nordija will open up for further
discussions with the other utility-owned networks”.
