QUINCY, Mass. (EMWNews) August 7, 2008 —

Intelligent Compression Technologies Inc. (ICT), a ViaSat company

(Nasdaq:VSAT), announced that Network Products Guide, a Silicon Valley

Communications publication and a world leading publication on

technologies and solutions, has named AcceleNet a winner of the 2008

Best Products and Services Award. This respected annual award honors

products and services that represent the rapidly changing needs and

interests of the end-users of technology worldwide. As part of the tech

industry’s leading global awards program,

winners for this year’s Best Products and

Services awards were voted for by IT end-users from all over the world.

AcceleNet WAN

optimization and application acceleration client software speeds the

application and file-sharing experience of remote and mobile workers by

combining advanced data compression, a broad range of application

protocol optimizers, unique handling of secure protocols, and patented

transport optimization. The product is designed specifically to improve

performance over networks with limited bandwidth, latency and high

packet loss, including 3G wireless, DSL, and satellite. The architecture

detects network conditions and application protocols in real time and

employs the most effective techniques to speed user performance.

“Increased end-user awareness and ongoing

advances in technology are helping shape better products and services,”

says Rake Narang, editor-in-chief, Network Products Guide. “AcceleNet

is bringing application performance improvements to serve the growing

trend of remote and mobile workforces.”

“We are honored that AcceleNet has gained the

Network Products Guide Reader Trust recognition,”

said Michael Slygh, ICT president. “ICT is

truly revolutionizing software-based WAN acceleration. Hardware-based

acceleration helps large corporate offices, but deprives branch office,

home office, and mobile workers of the same benefits. With AcceleNet, we’re

dedicated to meeting our customers’ needs by

improving the productivity of all enterprise workers.”

AcceleNet was chosen based upon the highest vote total of more than

7,000 votes cast, consisting of end-users and consumers worldwide. See a
