VIBE SOLUTIONS GROUP SHOWS OFF ITS NEWEST VIDEO AND AUDIO COMMUNICATIONS PLATFORM FOR CABLE BROADBAND PROVIDERS

SAN FRANCISCO, NCTA BOOTH #712 - March 16, 2005 Vibe Solutions Group, a leader in broadband consumer video communications, will showcase a premiere selection of easy-to-use video applications for broadband service providers in booth #712 of the Moscone Center at the National Cable & Telecommunications Association's annual National Show. The latest advances in consumer online video communication solutions will be on display, showcasing Vibe's industry momentum, platform innovation and adoption of industry standards.

Industry Momentum

Vibe's video mail service has been adopted by MSOs serving a total of 13 million customers, or 70 percent of cable broadband subscribers. Vibe's Video Mail application is offered through its network of partners, including Comcast, Road Runner, Charter, GCI, RCN and Susquehanna.
Vibe's commitment to the cable industry is further demonstrated by the NCTA's selection of Vibe as the official video mail provider for The 2005 National Show. Vibe will be providing free video mail service to all attendees that come by the E-Lounge, which is prominently located in the Cable Courtyard. This area is designed for attendees as a meeting place where they can check e-mails, shop in the NCTA Store and relax with other industry professionals.

Platform Innovation

Vibe is taking its video communications platform to a whole new level with the announcement of several new applications features, many shown for the first time at The National Show. Vibe Communications Platform 3.0 features a number of new enhancements to the application modules, Video Mail and Video Phone. New features for Vibe Video Mail include:

Enhanced Media Sharing: In addition to sharing digital photos, Video Mail now includes the ability to share digital video movie files or digital audio (MP3 files) with your personal video mail recording. Uploading, storage and delivery of the media sharing content is handled by Vibe's hosting infrastructure. The Media Sharing enhancements can be customized to partner parameters for file size and storage limits.
Email Integration and Contact List Enhancements: Vibe Video Mail now includes a refined contact list manager and integration with some of the leading email providers, such as Yahoo, Hotmail and Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express. Users are able to set their default email preferences with an easy-to-use wizard, which will automatically launch their preferred email service before messages are sent. This feature can also be utilized by MSO partners who wish to have Video Mail launch their own default email service. An SDK is also available to facilitate integration into partner email services.
Dynamic Greeting Card Content Packs: Greeting Card, which allows users to incorporate dozens of graphical cards into their video recording, now has the ability for partners to automatically update greeting card content for their users. MSO partners can now create their own Content Packs with third party providers and distribute those to Video Mail users with ease.

New features for Vibe Video Phone include:

Full Screen Video: Users can communicate nearly as large as life with Vibe's new feature that expands the viewable video area to 2x or full-screen with one click.

Adopting Industry Standards
Vibe is continuing to make its platform compatible with evolving cable industry standards, migrating to SIP (Standard Internet Protocol) and embracing Quality of Service (QoS) and DOCSIS II technology. Visitors to the show can see how Vibe Video Phone running full screen video can provide a richer end user experience driven through QoS authentication requests and a DOCSIS network.
