Occam Networks Announces Launch of Web Site Offering Resources for Telcos Investigating Video Services Delivery

www.tripleplay.tv Offers Educational and Solutions-oriented Information to IOCs and Other Carriers Preparing to Deploy Video

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Nov. 3, 2003 - Occam Networks Inc. (OTCBB: OCCM) today announced the launch of www.tripleplay.tv, a collaborative Web site that serves as a single location for educational material and technology information for carriers investigating video service delivery options. The site, specifically designed as a resource for independent operating companies and other carriers, offers white papers, business cases, technical reference documents, published articles and other neutral research materials. The goal of www.tripleplay.tv is to promote television as a telco-offered service that will allow carriers to compete aggressively against cable offerings and reach business and service-delivery goals.

"This site is designed to be the first place a carrier can visit to research everything about video delivery - from business models to technology issues," said Russ Sharer , vice president of marketing and business development at Occam Networks. "It serves everyone from telcos who are just starting to consider video, to carriers who are already successfully delivering triple-play but want to refine or expand their strategies or service offerings."

The www.tripleplay.tv site is separate and independent of Occam Networks' corporate site and promotional activities and resources on the site are contributed by various telecommunications vendors. Sponsors include leading vendors of video-on-demand, access security, content acquisition, access network, customer premises and head-end equipment. The site will not offer product brochures, data sheets or other promotional content. The site can be viewed at http://www.tripleplay.tv .
