Attention Business/Financial Editors:
Major U.S. Retailer Selects March Networks IP Video Solution in Deal Worth
$1.5 Million

    OTTAWA, June 9 /CNW Telbec/ - March Networks(TM) (TSX:MN; AIM:MNW), a
leading provider of intelligent IP video and business analysis applications,
announced today that a large retail organization in the United States has
selected the Company's video management software and systems for a deployment
covering approximately 100 stores. The initial orders are valued at U.S.
$1.5 million and follow a successful rollout of March Networks business
analysis software and professional services across more than 1,200 locations.
    The retailer will integrate the video management solution with its
existing March Networks LP Data Mining software to further reduce shrinkage,
decrease in-store risk and improve overall store performance. The March
Networks solution will enable the retailer to add new capabilities to its
video network, such as powerful analytic applications and
strategically-placed, high-resolution IP cameras, without replacing existing
video infrastructure. When the organization is ready to transition some, or
all, of its stores to all-IP video networking, it can turn to the March
Networks VideoSphere portfolio to do so cost-effectively.
    "Our ability to offer retail organizations comprehensive solutions that
deliver valuable business intelligence for a wide range of applications is
unparalleled today," said Peter Strom, President and CEO of March Networks.
"We are pleased to be extending our relationship with this leading retail
organization and look forward to delivering our VideoSphere solution to
retailers worldwide as they move to next-generation IP video technology."
