               AMINO LAUNCHES MASS-MARKET MPEG-4 IPTV SET-TOP BOX

Amino Technologies plc ('Amino'; stock code : AMO), the Cambridge based
broadband network software and systems company, announces the commercial launch
and availability of its AmiNET124 IPTV (internet protocol TV) set-top box, its
first product to support the new H.264 compression codec, also known as MPEG-4
AVC.

Shipments to customers are scheduled to commence in July 2005.  The ability to
initiate commercial shipments quickly reflects the efficiency and portability of
Amino's software stack.

The new compression technology utilises up to 40 percent less network bandwidth.
This enables telcos to offer IPTV services over slower speed ADSL broadband
networks than hitherto, increasing subscriber reach and revenue.

The AmiNET124 is expected to set a new benchmark in deployment costs, making the
adoption of MPEG-4 AVC commercially attractive to telcos due to its
cost-effective design and compatibility with most leading middleware and
conditional access providers. The AmiNET 124 is easily installed by the
subscriber and features a field-upgradeable software platform to support future
technology enhancements without significant additional cost to the IPTV service
provider.

Mike Arden, senior analyst at ABI Research, a US-based leading electronics
industry research consultancy, commented, 'IPTV technology is booming and Telcos
are keen to take advantage of increased potential revenues offered by advanced
compression formats.' He continued, 'However, they must ensure that the cost of
implementing this advanced technology does not become prohibitive.'

The AmiNET124 will be demonstrated by Amino at the Supercomm exhibition in
Chicago from the 6th to the 9th June 2005.
