International Datacasting Corporation's New Compact Receiver Selected for US Government Program

Market Wire, September, 2008

International Datacasting Corporation (TSX: IDC), a global leader in providing advanced solutions for multimedia content distribution via satellite, announced today it has received a follow-on order from a leading aerospace and defence contractor for IDC's new DVB-S2 dual tuner integrated receiver and decoder, (IRD), the SuperFlex SFX3104-L.

The order, valued at $800,000 CAD, when combined with an initial order received in the Company's second quarter, brings the total value for this project to $1.4 million CAD to date.

The SFX 3104-L is a new compact, lightweight configuration in IDC'S SuperFlex line of commercial off-the-shelf products. The small form factor is ideal for applications where installation space is limited or size and weight needs to be minimized. This IRD has dual DVB-S2 tuners to support built-in redundancy and/or receive two unique broadcasts simultaneously as well as integrated Irdeto conditional access and decryption capabilities.

The unit has been qualified for (and ordered in support of) an ongoing US government communications program providing secure, high-speed, broadband IP connectivity to US forces and government agencies in the field.

"We have essentially re-designed our SFX 3104 to reduce its size and weight by more than 50%, while meeting the customer's challenging requirements for high throughput, dual tuner operation and integrated Irdeto conditional access," said Ron Clifton, IDC President and CEO. "IDC is pleased to become a supplier for this very important program," he added.
