STOCKHOLM,  Sweden - Net Insight, a  leading developer of efficient and scalable
optical  transport  solutions  for  media,  IP  and  broadcast  networks,  today
announced   that   Tata  Communications,  India's  leading  global  provider  of
communications  services, has selected Net  Insight's Nimbra platform to deliver
the  solution for an  international video contribution  network connecting India
with major cities in the United States, Europe and Asia Pacific.

Tata Communications, who own and operate a comprehensive terrestrial, subsea and
satellite  network,  is  deploying  a  new  media  transport  solution using Net
Insight's  Nimbra platform. The Tata Global  Network includes one of the world's
largest  submarine cable networks  and a Tier-1  IP network with connectivity to
more than 200 countries across 400 points of presence.

In  order to  expand the  service offering  to include comprehensive support for
professional media services, Tata Communications began planning for a new global
media  network in 2008, which  would cover the  major cities in  India and offer
international  connectivity. The network will allow exchange of content globally
between key media hubs in India, USA, Europe and Asia Pacific.

The  network  was  installed  and  successfully  launched  in December 2009. The
network   has   already  attracted  interest  from  media  operators  and  local
broadcasters,  who  are  able  to  exchange  content between India, Europe, USA,
Australia, and other countries in Asia.
After  thorough evaluation  and testing  in Tata  Communications labs and in the
field,  the company  chose Net  Insight to  deliver the  solution for  their new
global  media network. The Nimbra platform boasts of multi-service capabilities,
future  scalability, 100% quality of service (QoS)  in addition to a  wide range
of network restoration options that all appealed to the company.

"We have selected the Nimbra platform for rolling out Tata Communications Video
Connect service, a networking solution which is designed for broadcasters,
studios and production houses to deliver video content flexibly and
cost-effectively to media hotspots worldwide," said Genius Wong, Sr VP, Global
Network Services  Tata Communications. "Net Insight's proven track record has
made them an ideal platform for our global video distribution network."
