Companies

Redknee (TSX / AIM: RKN), a leading provider of mission-critical software
and solutions for communications service providers, is pleased to announce
that it has been named as one of Canada's 50 Best Managed Companies. This
recognition also marks Redknee's achievement of Platinum level status, which
is only awarded to companies who have won the award for six consecutive
years.

"We are extremely proud to achieve Deloitte's Platinum level as one of
Canada's 50 Best Managed Companies. I want to thank our employees and
customers who helped us reach this achievement. This award recognizes the

Skoczkowski.

Canada's 50 Best Managed Companies is the Country's leading business
awards program that recognizes excellence in Canadian-owned and managed
companies with revenues over $10 million. The awards measure success of a
company beyond its financial performance, assessing the overall business
performance and sustained growth of the organization. Sponsored by Deloitte,
CIBC Commercial Banking, National Post and Queen's School of Business, the
awards are judged by an independent panel who select the final 50 award
winners.

"We would like to congratulate Redknee's induction to the Platinum Club.
For the past six years, Redknee has shown that it has a strong management
team and strategy that will help it continue to excel in the future. We are
pleased to add Redknee to our list of top Canadian companies that are
excelling in the global economy," says John Hughes, Partner, Private Company
Services group with Deloitte, a national sponsor of the Best Managed program.

The award recognition rounds up a solid 2008 performance by Redknee.
Highlights for the year include reporting year-end September 30, 2008 revenue
up 31% to $50.7 million; adding over 20 new operators to its customer base
from across all of its addressable markets, while increasing its market share
by 38%; successfully completing the acquisition of Argent Networks; securing
a US$10 million dollar line of credit, and listing on the TSX exchange. As
Redknee marks its 10th anniversary in 2009, it continues to gain market share
in the high growth regions of Africa, the Middle East & Asia Pacific, while
continuing to focus on its growth segments of Tier-1 operators in Europe and
North America.
