OTTAWA, ONTARIO, February 19, 2008 -- March Networks(tm) (TSX:MN; AIM:MNW), a
leading provider of intelligent IP video and business analysis applications,
announced today that Coppel S.A.B. de C.V. has standardized on the Company's
digital video software and systems for advanced security in more than 650
department stores.

Coppel is one of the largest department store chains in Mexico, operating under
the brand name Tiendas Coppel. The retailer specializes in the sale of
household furnishings, appliances and clothing.

The rollout follows a successful digital video deployment with BanCoppel, an
affiliated financial services organization operating a rapidly growing network
of banking branches and automated teller machines (ATMs) within its retail
locations.

Coppel will use the March Networks solution to enhance customer and staff
safety, deter crime and ensure that high-quality video evidence is available
for review following security incidents. The solution includes enterprise-class
video management software and scalable surveillance platforms. It supports
advanced applications, such as Point-of-Sale transaction data integration and
video analytics, that help retailers reduce inventory shrinkage and improve
overall store performance.

"We selected this solution based on our own extensive research and the
recommendation of our BanCoppel colleagues, who are extremely pleased with the
management capabilities and networking performance of their March Networks
systems," said Agustín Bravo, National Director of Expenditure and Supply
Control, Coppel.

"The March Networks retail solution, with its centralized networking
architecture, will enable us to monitor our stores more effectively and provide
us with quality video evidence when needed," added Antonio Saracho, Chief
Information Officer and Systems Division Director, Coppel.

Peter Strom, President and CEO of March Networks, said: "We continue to expand
our customer footprint in Mexico based on the high quality of our networked
solutions and our focus on targeted applications for the financial and retail
markets. We look forward to further successes in 2008."
