Digital Fountain Customer Tele2 Named 2008 InfoWorld 100 Winner

FREMONT, Calif. --(Business Wire)--

Digital Fountain, Inc., a leading provider of advanced standardized solutions for digital media delivery, today announced that one of their IPTV customers, Tele2, has been named a 2008 InfoWorld 100 winner for their deployment of Digital Fountain's ToughStreamTM solution on their network. The InfoWorld 100 Awards identifies and promotes emerging technology segments that add unique value for the organizations that implement them, as well as the vendors that provide those solutions.

Digital Fountain's ToughStream is a software solution that eliminates video and audio degradation caused by packet loss, latency or out-of-order delivery. These effects are normal and prevalent conditions on all IP networks because IP is, by design, a "best effort" delivery protocol. Because it is a software-based solution, ToughStream is highly configurable, and easy to deploy on any IPTV network. An extraordinarily scalable solution, ToughStream has negligible hardware requirements while providing high QoE including fast channel change times.

"Tele2 is leading the way with creative and innovative ways to improve their next generation network's performance in order to lower operating costs and enhance their customer experience," said Charlie Oppenheimer, CEO of Digital Fountain. "We are pleased that Tele2's IPTV network has received the 2008 InfoWorld 100 award, and we are proud that our ToughStream solution was recognized as a key component of their network's ability to successfully deliver the very best IPTV service to their subscribers."
