The evaluation includes:

Welcome.

Absilion sends congratulations to PiteEnergi, whose metropolitan network pite.com now has been certified by Absilion as complying to the industry's own standard called "secure customer connection", SEC.

- We think that secure customer connections is equally important as great capacity and performance. High security is a prerequisite for good quality, says Johan Nilsson, metro network manager at PiteEnergi.

For customers that are connected to a broadband network to be certain that their services do not fall into the wrong hands, it is required that the network is built correctly and that the equipment is configured correctly. In addition, it is often desirable that the network operator can trace unwanted traffic. This assumes that the correct security features are used by the network.

- The requirements for being certified are high and it is pleasing to note that PiteEnergi's network complies with those requirements, says Mats Nordlund, CEO at Absilion.

Absilion's ambition is to continue to carry out certification of metro networks in the rest of the country to create a more secure infrastructure in Sweden.

An independent review of Netrounds is performed in the April issue of TechWorld Magazine. The judgment is "thumbs up", which makes us at Absilion even more proud.

Among other things, the test editor at TechWorld concludes that:

"...the tool does not require you to be a test engineer, nor that your IT budget will be blown away..." and "...easy to use, it has high usability with a good administration interface and easy configuration".

We hope that the newspaper article is made available at TechWorld's website soon. Until then, get your copy (in swedish) at your nearest store.

To further enhance the quality of the distribution of broadband TV, the communications operator Zitius Service Delivery has chosen to introduce Absilion's test system Netrounds. The system allows Zitius to monitor and ensure the highest quality of TV signals. For viewers, it means an even better TV experience.

- We stand for excellence in the broadband services we offer. We chose Netrounds since it has all the features we require for IPTV monitoring. In addition it also provides functions for advanced troubleshooting in case of problems. We appreciate and believe in what Absilion want to achieve with Netrounds, says Ola Friis, chief technical officer at Zitius.

For Absilion the order is the starting point for a stronger focus on the market for broadband TV.

- With the new IPTV features we now introduce, our customers can use Netrounds in both pre-analysis in lab environment as well as for monitoring of IPTV in the live network, says Absilions CEO, Mats Nordlund.

The order includes a dozen of measurement probes which will be measuring quality in various locations of Zitius' network.
