Aurora Networks To Showcase Evolving Cable Solutions at ANGA Cable 2009

Fiber to the Premises, Fiber Deep and Node Segmentation Solutions Demonstrated
to Help European Cable Operators Fight Competition
SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Aurora Networks, Inc., the only optical transport solution provider focused on
delivering a cost-effective, optimized platform for next-generation cable
services, will showcase its first European-optimized node and demonstrate its
evolving cable solutions at the ANGA Cable 2009 show in the Cologne Fair Grounds
from 26-28 May 2009 in stand #B48.

Aurora Networks` new node, which will be demonstrated in four configurations at
the show, is specifically designed to meet European operators` unique
deployment, capacity and architecture needs to deliver today`s in-demand
subscriber services. In addition to its European-optimized node, Aurora Networks
will showcase its existing, industry-leading tools to help cable operators
evolve in Europe`s competitive landscape:

* Industry-leading RFoG and RFPON (RFoG with a smooth migration to full PON)
solutions to enable cable operators to take advantage of FTTP architectures,
incorporating unique components to overcome the deployment limitations
associated with traditional approaches.
* Innovative Fiber Deep solutions that deliver a passive HFC architecture and
products that enable European MSOs to significantly increase network capacity
per subscriber while reducing their on-going operating expenses - cable`s first
green architecture.
* With a focus on enabling simple evolution to increase network capacity, Aurora
Networks will showcase its "Evolution not Revolution" node display, which
demonstrates the industry`s most versatile node platform available today. This
display will clearly show how cable operators can build upon their existing
architecture with the deployment of Aurora Networks` node platform today and not
have to "rip and replace" to support next-generation services which will be
demanded by their subscribers.
* Aurora Networks` industry-leading LcWDM® ("O"-band) analog transmitter
solution enables up to eight downstream and a dozen or more upstream wavelengths
on the same fiber. This solution demonstrates fiber-efficient segmentation, a
key opportunity for European operators to expand network capacity to accommodate
more narrowcast services with constructing new fiber links.
* Additionally, Aurora Networks` complete line of WDM solutions, CWDM and DWDM
technologies including the AT3520G transmitter introduced in February 2009,
which increases narrowcast bandwidth by 50 percent. WDM solutions allow European
operators to add more wavelengths to their network without expensive or
interruptive construction.

"In the evolving European cable market, operators need regionally-specific
solutions that help them compete effectively with satellite providers as well as
regional municipalities and utility companies offering similar subscriber
services," said Glenn Miller, vice president of business development for Europe,
Aurora Networks. "Given the popularity of our solutions and the increasing
market demand in Europe for converged services, Aurora Networks continues to be
committed to leading the evolution in the cable industry through innovative,
cost-effective solutions designed specifically for cable operators. ANGA Cable
presents an ideal opportunity for the cable industry to learn how to leverage
our solutions to advance network capabilities."

Additionally, Wim Mostert, director of product management for Aurora Networks,
will address attendees on WDM solutions for the European market in a technical
presentation titled "Tools to Quadruple the Capacity for Targeted Services
without Fibre Construction." The session will be held in Room B during the
"Fibre: The Way to Handle Increasing Capacity" panel from 10:00 - 11:15 a.m.

Please join Aurora Networks for demonstrations and information about its new
European-optimized node and other unique solutions at ANGA Cable 2009, stand
#B48.
