EATONTOWN, N.J. -- Amedia Networks, Inc. (OTC BB: AANI - News), a provider of next generation media gateways to distribute and manage ultra-broadband triple-play services in the home, today issued its first operational update of 2007. Continuing on the company's momentum in 2006, in which key strategic relationships were formed and major product development milestones were achieved, Amedia began the New Year with revenue generating equipment shipments to Motorola for trials of the jointly developed MIPX home gateway, and a well-attended demonstration of its Broadband Entertainment Center at the renowned International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) that garnered significant media, analyst, and industry interest.

The MIPX product is the first in a line of IP home gateways intended to provide expanded support for data, IPTV, High Definition TV, and Digital Video Recorders using Motorola's existing Multi-Service Access Platform for exclusive distribution by Motorola under the Motorola brand. In Q4 2006, Amedia successfully passed the IPTV Gateway System Verification Testing Acceptance Test - a major engineering milestone in the Strategic Alliance Agreement between the companies. To date, Amedia has shipped over $475,000 worth of equipment to Motorola for use in both Alpha lab testing and Beta field testing programs. "Amedia's relationship with Motorola has benefited our company a great deal," said Amedia President, CEO, and Director Frank Galuppo. "Not only has our joint development work with Motorola allowed us to accelerate the innovation of our IP gateways and create a valuable product line, but at the same time, our collaboration has enabled Amedia to generate meaningful revenue throughout that R&D process."

First introduced in late 2006 as a replacement to the PC as the nerve center of the networked home, Amedia's breakthrough Broadband Entertainment Center platform was again on display at CES 2007 in Las Vegas. The demonstration showcased the Amedia gateway's unique capability to offer the collective functionality of multiple home entertainment and networking devices, along with a personal media library - all in a single, compact solution. Press, analysts, and industry professionals alike were all keen on the gateway's versatility - providing subscribers with unbridled access the Web and streaming video as well as enhanced triple-play services such as IPTV, Video-on-Demand (VoD), and online gaming from virtually any television or networked device, while also offering a customizable media library for storing and viewing movies, home video, and music. Amedia also demonstrated the gateway's ability to transmit content over existing home wiring (e.g. Coax, Cat 5, HPNA, etc.), as well as wirelessly with the latest Ultra Wideband (UWB) technology.
