           Wachovia Bank Standardizes on March Networks Digital Video
                              Systems and Software

     Deployment Planned for U.S. Retail Banking and International Locations

OTTAWA, Ontario, July 13, 2005 -- March Networks(TM) (TSX:MN; AIM:MNW),
announced today that its Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) and Enterprise
Management Suite software have been selected by Wachovia Bank, N.A. of
Charlotte, North Carolina, as the standard digital video surveillance system for
Wachovia's retail banking facilities and international corporate offices.
Wachovia (NYSE:WB) is the fourth largest financial services company in the
United States with approximately $507 billion in assets and 3,500 financial
centers located in 15 states and Washington D.C.

Wachovia selected the March Networks DVRs, Enterprise Management Suite and
optional Banking Assistant software module as the standard video surveillance
system for its facilities following a thorough product evaluation process
conducted by its physical security and IT teams.

"During our evaluation, we determined that the March Networks DVR systems are
heads above everything else in the market," states David Smith, Vice President
and Leader, Security Systems and Equipment with Wachovia Bank. "The DVRs are
engineered to perform as networked security devices, and are well-suited to the
high reliability demands of large implementations such as ours at Wachovia."

A phased deployment of the Linux-based DVRs and software was started in early
2005 and entails integration with the bank's access control systems and alarm
monitoring center. The Banking Assistant software module links digital video
with synchronized ATM and teller transaction data to support the bank's loss
management and corporate fraud investigations teams in expediting dispute
resolution and investigations.

Using the March Networks Enterprise Management Suite, the multisite DVRs are
provided with consistent programming and configuration in all retail banking
locations. The software's centralized management capabilities provide the bank's
security services group with centralized control and access to video across all
of Wachovia's locations. Additionally, the software supports remote diagnostics,
user authentication and automated system health notification of the IP-networked
DVR installation, ensuring a highly secure and highly reliable video network.

"With this new customer, and a number of other pivotal account wins in the
banking market, March Networks is quickly being recognized as the digital video
vendor of choice for financial institutions," states Peter Strom, president and
CEO of March Networks. "The company has demonstrated its commitment to this
market through our banking-focused applications, solid hardware platform, and
our alignment with channel partners that are able to deliver on the requirements
of banking customers."
