    Redknee Awarded New United States Patent
    Innovation Enables Network Operators to Charge for IP Services

    TORONTO - January 7, 2009 - Redknee (TSX/AIM: RKN), a leading provider of mission-critical software and solutions for communications
service providers, is pleased to announce that the Company has been issued United States Patent No. 7,457,865 (the "Patent") for its "Method
for implementing an internet protocol (IP) charging and rating middleware platform and gateway system". 

    The Patent, one of more than 50 issued patents or pending patent applications controlled by Redknee, enables network operators to charge
for services and applications delivered via their IP infrastructure in real-time to both prepaid and postpaid subscribers. Redknee's
innovation allows for charging based on a number of attributes, including service type, quality of service and time of day, as well as
protocol-specific attributes.  

    Among other capabilities, the Patent enables network operators to charge their subscribers for services and applications delivered via
their IP infrastructure in a perceptually meaningful manner.

    Lucas Skoczkowski, CEO of Redknee commented:
    "At Redknee, we are committed to investing in the development of innovative solutions that address the challenges faced by our
customers' now and in the future. Today's announcement reinforces our position as a leading innovator in our industry, while providing our
customers with the advanced technologies they need to succeed in this dynamic marketplace." 

    Technologies associated with the real-time rating and charging of IP traffic will be increasingly relevant as a growing proportion of
network operator revenues are derived from data services and applications.  Analysts have noted that operators will have to transform their
IP infrastructure from 'dumb-pipes' to 'smart pipes' in order to support the growing demand for global data services, estimated to be worth
US$251.9 billion by 2012 (sources: Portio Research and Juniper Research).  

    Bohdan Zabawskyj, CTO at Redknee commented,

    "The technologies prescribed by this patent enable network operators to benefit from the growth in IP services and applications by
facilitating a number of billing and charging options in real-time.  It is another example of how Redknee has demonstrated
thought-leadership by developing innovative products that meet both existing and evolving market requirements."
