SASKATOON, SASKATCHEWAN–(CCNMatthews – Feb. 20, 2006) – VCom Inc. (TSX:VCM) announces that after successful field testing, its CableVista Digital Simulcast Edge Decoder, has been approved by Adelphia Communications and Cox Communications. Approvals from additional US and International Cable Multiple System Operators (MSOs) are anticipated. Several mid-size MSOs have also deployed CableVista.

Cable MSOs utilize CableVista in their high-speed distribution networks to deliver a superior quality analog program tier and as a vital component of sophisticated digital video transport solutions for zoned ad insertion.

VCom’s CableVista edge decoder performs MPEG decoding, analog modulation and upconversion for up to 24 NTSC/PAL channels in a compact 1 RU chassis. With numerous redundancy features, hot-swappable components and flexible software, CableVista is also capable of supporting baseband and RF outputs as well as Off-Air Reference options in the same chassis, offering the highest degree of flexibility available. CableVista has now emerged as the clear market leading solution for decoding to analog baseband and RF. VCom’s CableVista and VistaLynx are also available through Mega Hertz, a value-added-reseller in North America.

The CableVista edge decoder complements VCom’s Edge QAM product, VistaLynx which provides QAM modulation and upconversion capability used to deliver such services as true Video-on-Demand (VOD), and an increased number of digital channels. VCom’s CableVista and VistaLynx are key elements for the VOD and Digital Simulcast needs of today’s all-digital cable networks.
