performs block frequency up-conversion for downstream traffic and
demultiplexing and down conversion of upstream blocks -- resulting in a
doubling of downstream bandwidth and a 10x increase in upstream
capacity. Applications: 100s of High Definition Channels;
High-Definition TV-on-Demand; Ultra high-speed Data Services; Targeted,
Symmetrical Bandwidth for Residential and Commercial Services.

T1/E1 Backhaul (including Cellular); MTU/MDU deployments; Wireless
Internet Services; Wireless Hotspot Backhaul.
-- An open-standards based T1/E1 Network Monitoring System that reduces
operational costs and speeds deployment by centralizing performance,
event and alarms management, provisioning, remote software upgrades and
user information databases.
"Each cable system has different specific requirements, but they all have
a common need for the ability to provide high bandwidth services," said David
Nicholas, senior vice president for strategic sales for Xtend Networks. "By
providing T1, 3GHz and wireless solutions, we can help operators use their
existing infrastructure to more rapidly provide services that will
differentiate them from competitors and increase return on investment."
Xtend's T1 solution currently is being trialed by cable operators in
multiple markets. Xtend's solution for the delivery of 3 GHz of bandwidth
over 860 MHz coaxial plant has already led to its becoming an approved vendor
of Cox Communications.

Safe Harbor Statement
Statements made in this press release and at the show relating to the
future, including those related to the potential for Xtend's systems to enable
the cable industry to provide symmetrical voicegrade T1, 100s of high
definition channels, high-definition TV-on-demand, ultra high-speed data

the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995. Because these forward-looking statements involve risks and
uncertainties, there are important factors that could cause our actual results
to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. These
factors include, without limitation, the current limited visibility available
in the telecommunications and broadband access equipment markets; whether
Xtend will be able to move from the development stage to deployment and
establish commercial relationships with the cable system operators; whether
cable system operators will successfully test and then deploy those Xtend
solutions presently involved in trials; whether the cable industry will be
willing and able to substantially increase the available bandwidth on their
networks and do so using Xtend's alternative technology solution; and other
risks set forth in Vyyo's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2004, its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months
