TELESTE SIGNS SIGNIFICANT FRAME AGREEMENT WITH GERMAN CABLEWAY AG               

Teleste has been chosen for the primary equipment supplier for Cableway AG, one 
of the main cable network turnkey service companies in Germany. In 2008-2011 the
agreement will bring Teleste sales of minimum EUR 15 million. The end customers 
involve leading German cable operators.                                         

Upgrade programs on the German cable networks will continue changing the focus  
from coaxial access network upgrades towards optical segmentation of the        
networks and towards building and house network upgrades. In the next few years 
the house networks will be widely upgraded in order to meet the demands by      
modern interactive services provided by the cable operators in the country. The 
house network upgrades are provided as turnkey services in which the service    
companies install, maintain and deliver the products and solutions to cable     
operators. The signed agreement is a significant one heralding a new mode of    
co-operation in the rapidly growing house network markets in Germany.           

The major part of the deliveries include different AC and CXE amplifier         
solutions and products by DINH Telecom, a company acquired by Teleste last      
spring. The deliveries will start in the second quarter of 2008.                

Cableway AG is one of the main cable network turnkey service companies formed by
seven local cable network service providers in Germany. Their reliable service  
is carried out by approximately 1200 cable network specialists.                 

Teleste is an international technology group founded in 1954, which is          
specialized in broadband data communication systems and solutions. The group is

their know-how and ability to produce technically cutting edge solutions year
