Application (ELSA) will enable Internet Services Providers (ISPs), Web<br />
hosting companies, and content providers to stream movies, music, and<br />
interactive content.</p>
<p>"Entera's ELSA brings to Cobalt customers a powerful and standards-based<br />
solution that is easy to use," said Mark Orr, vice president of business<br />
development and co-founder, Cobalt Networks. "This software will allow our<br />
customers to offer new services to their subscribers and to tap into new<br />
opportunities, giving them a distinct edge in their markets."</p>
<p>Standards-based streaming such as QuickTime 4 is rapidly gaining<br />
acceptance. QuickTime 4, which has been downloaded by more than 15 million<br />
users since it was introduced on April 19 of this year, is the first<br />
Internet streaming solution using non-proprietary, industry-standard<br />
protocols RTP and RTSP. The new standards-based RTSP/RTP server from Entera<br />
builds upon this remarkable technology and allows an end user to stream<br />
rich, broadband media from an Intel-based server using the popular Linux<br />
platform.</p>
<p>Entera's ELSA server has been downloaded by more than 1,200 users in the<br />
first 30 days since it was introduced. ISPs, Internet Developers, and<br />
content providers accounted for more than 62% of the downloads. "Entera is<br />
excited to deliver standards-based streaming capabilities for Cobalt's<br />
server appliances," said Steven M.West, president and CEO, Entera, Inc.<br />
"The Cobalt and Entera relationship is central to Entera's goal of enabling<br />
our partners to create solutions that build the Internet."</p>
<p>This type of widespread, multi-platform support is critical to enable the<br />
delivery of streaming media to the mass market. This capability opens up a<br />
myriad of opportunities to publish or host theater-quality video content,<br />
much like the high-quality audio content available today through MP3<br />
digital audio file formatting.</p>
<p>"Entera has built an excellent team of streaming media experts and is<br />
applying them to the emerging content delivery industry," said Peter<br />
Christy, vice president of the Internet Research Group. "We share their<br />
enthusiasm for the explosive potential of these markets and look forward to<br />
the exciting new applications that we believe will be enabled by this<br />
investment."</p>
<p>About ELSA</p>

platforms including Linux (RedHat 6.0 or equivalent), Sun Microsystems'<br />
Solaris SPARC & x86, FreeBSD, Windows 98, and NT platforms. These key<br />
platform offerings appeal to a wide base of users such as small and<br />
medium-sized businesses, large and small ISPs, enterprise commercial<br />
