Ezenia! Inc. Announces Three New Orders for InfoWorkSpace Version 2.5.1 from the
Department of Defense and the Expected Date of its Third Quarter Operating
Results
BURLINGTON, Mass., Oct. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Ezenia!(R) Inc. (OTC
Bulletin Board: EZEN.OB), a leading provider of real-time collaboration
solutions for corporate and government networks and eBusiness, today announced
three significant orders it had recently received and fulfilled in the third
quarter from within the U.S. Department of Defense ("DoD") for InfoWorkSpace
Version 2.5.1.2 as a direct result of the Interoperability certification
obtained in July. These orders, for the U.S. Air Force, the Office of the
Secretary of Defense (OSD) and Joint Task Force 180 (JTF180) located in
Afghanistan, are noteworthy and indicative of the pent up demand finally
released upon the issuance of the Final Report by the Joint Interoperability
Test Command (JITC) and the Defense Information System Agency (DISA), confirming
InfoWorkSpace full compliance with the interoperability requirements and
certifying it for joint use.
"The Interoperability certification by JITC/DISA allows DoD customers to proceed
forward with additional procurements of InfoWorkSpace, to either expand existing
deployments or add new installations," remarked Khoa Nguyen, Ezenia Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer. "These three orders, among others, reaffirm our belief
that InfoWorkSpace is the collaboration tool of choice within the DOD and the
Intelligence Community. Although these recent orders will not meaningfully
impact our operating results for the fiscal third quarter ended September 30,
2003, they provide solid foundation and footing for Q4 and beyond. We are
optimistic and hopeful that this positive trend will continue through the
balance of 2003 and on into 2004, as Ezenia works to return to profitability".
Ezenia! is scheduled to issue its earnings press release on its fiscal third
quarter operating results on or before November 7, 2003.

compliance by JITC/DISA can be accessed at
