MINNEAPOLIS -- ADC (Nasdaq:ADCT; www.adc.com) today announced the first deployment of its Cuda(TM) 1000 Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS) at MONET, the regional cable operator in the Mostar area, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The installation at MONET also marks the first Cuda sale in the region. MONET will use the Cuda platform to begin its rollout of high speed Internet services to residential and small office/home office (SoHo) subscribers in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

During the Mostar Economic Fair, opened by President of Bosnia and Herzegovina Presidentsy Mr. Mirko Sarovic, MONET's new service was launched and the first ever high-speed Internet connection over cable in Bosnia and Herzegovina was demonstrated, facilitated by ADC's Cuda 1000 platform.

"We are delighted to be working with ADC and believe that, with their technology, we are reaching a significant milestone in the development of our network with the ability to offer, for the first time, reliable high-speed broadband access to our subscribers," said Mr. Dusko Situm, project manager for MONET.

In a separate release:

ADC (Nasdaq:ADCT; www.adc.com) today announced that French cable operator Vialis has selected the Cuda 12000 IP Access Switch to expand high speed internet services to its subscribers in the France-Haut-Rhine region. Vialis, a public utility company owned by the city of Colmar, France, has offered high speed Internet service to its customers in the region since 1998. In addition to its operations in Colmar, Vialis will deploy the Cuda 12000 to serve its subscribers in the towns of Ingersheim, Horbourg-Whir, Turckheim, and Sundhoffen.

Working with ADC's channel partner Spie Trindel, Vialis selected ADC's Cuda 12000 IP Access Switch as the best solution to reduce operating costs and provide a solid foundation for HFC network upgrades. In addition, Vialis will deploy ADC's FastFlow Broadband Provisioning Manager to manage its subscriber base for the provisioning of new services.

The Vialis territory includes a large number of small villages located throughout the Rhine River and hills of the Vosages. Due to the unique geography of this region, the network consists of more than 100 nodes returning to a single headend. Legacy CMTS systems could manage the combined return noise issue of all the nodes in the network, but the Vialis HFC network upgrade plans demanded a next-generation CMTS with the ability to intelligently avoid noise interference.
