  NEW YORK, NY AND OSLO, NORWAY, May 18 (MARKET WIRE) --

TANDBERG (OSLO: TAA), a leading global provider of  telepresence, 
high-definition video conferencing and mobile video solutions, announced
today that it has received Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC)
certification from the Federal government. JITC provides test,
evaluation, and certification services for acquiring and deploying global
"net-centric" military capabilities. The complete TANDBERG MPS
infrastructure and MXP endpoint portfolios have been recertified. In
addition, the TANDBERG Management Suite (TMS) has now been certified,
making it the only management platform for video to receive JITC
certification. With endpoints, infrastructure and now a management
platform certified, the Department of Defense (DoD) can purchase a total
JITC-certified solution only from TANDBERG.

    The Department of Defense is directed to purchase video products from an
Approved Product List (APL), and JITC certification provides product
access to the APL. There are two APLs guiding purchases of video
teleconferencing, the DSN APL and the IPv6 APL. TANDBERG certification
encompasses both of these APLs.

    "At TANDBERG, we take pride in our long-standing support of the United
States Government," said Joel Brunson, president, TANDBERG Public Sector.
"We will continue to comply with standards and testing requirements to
ensure that we are always providing the DoD with the highest-quality and
most secure video solutions available. And now with the JITC certification
of our management platform along with endpoints and infrastructure, we
will be well-equipped to support the great demand in the defense
community for scalable, manageable and secure video teleconferencing."
