SWE-DISH Launches Innovative CommuniCase(R) Technology at IBC2007


STOCKHOLM, Sweden, September 6 /PRNewswire/ --

- New Suitcase(R) CCT90 and Drive-Away CCT120 Satellite Terminals
Feature CommuniCase Technology's Unique Modular Design for Flexibility and
Cost-Effectiveness

SWE-DISH Satellite Systems AB, a DataPath company, will demonstrate for
the first time its CommuniCase Technology at IBC2007 in Amsterdam,
Netherlands from Sept. 7-11. CommuniCase Technology (CCT) enables
broadcasters, military personnel and emergency first responders to easily
interchange parts, such as integrated modems, and improve flexibility.
SWE-DISH is introducing the technology in a line of CCT products highlighted
by the Suitcase CCT90, the world's most compact and quick-to-air broadband
satellite terminal, and the Drive-Away CCT120.

The Suitcase CCT90 represents the next generation of ultra-portable
terminals following the success of SWE-DISH's IPT Suitcase. The IPT Suitcase
has earned high praise from military and government organizations throughout
the world, including military operators in conflict areas and disaster relief
organizations responding to Hurricane Katrina in the U.S. and the tsunami
that struck Asia in 2004.

What sets the Suitcase CCT90 apart from other products on the market is
CommuniCase Technology's common modular system architecture. With its
slide-in cassette, the integrated modem of the Suitcase CCT90 can easily be
switched out and plugged in to another CCT product, such as the new
Drive-Away CCT120, to adapt systems for rapidly evolving operational needs.
In addition to improving flexibility and system reliability, the easy
replacement and sharing of components creates a significant cost advantage.

Like the IPT Suitcase, the Suitcase CCT90 features an advanced,
user-friendly design that makes SWE-DISH terminals the world's
quickest-to-air terminals, achieving satellite acquisition in less than five
minutes. Because of its modular design, the Suitcase CCT90 is the most
compact terminal of its kind on the market. There are three packaging
options, including a configuration that makes the Suitcase CCT90 small enough
to carry on to a commercial airliner.

In addition, the Suitcase CCT90 features easy, one-person operation, an
intuitive graphical user interface, trouble-free antenna pointing and auto
peaking, and rugged military-ready construction. Combined, these features
create a terminal that sets a new industry standard for high-performance
mobile communications solutions and enables users to easily and reliably
communicate beyond the network edge.

"The introduction of CommuniCase Technology and products such as the
Suitcase CCT90 represent major advancements in portable satellite
technology," said Lars Jehrlander, CEO, SWE-DISH. "These innovations are in
response to the needs of organizations that require great speed and mobility,
and we will continue to work side-by-side with them to evolve technology that
delivers broadband communications anywhere it is needed."

DataPath's MaxView(R) network management software, a powerful solution
used by leading broadcasters, satellite operators, media carriers and
military organizations around the world, will also be highlighted in the
SWE-DISH booth at IBC2007. With MaxView, network operators can control any
network element, device or application to provide high-quality, uninterrupted
media services to customers.

In July, SWE-DISH was acquired by DataPath, a leading provider of
satellite and wireless communications networks around the world for
government and commercial customers. The combined SWE-DISH and DataPath
product portfolio represents the industry's most complete line of satellite
earth terminals, ranging from the Suitcase CCT90 to large, fixed teleports.
DataPath's customized communications networks, software and services
complement SWE-DISH solutions and extend service and support for SWE-DISH's
global customers.
