RRsat Ranked Among Top Twenty Teleport Operators in all Three Categories

OMER, Israel, November 26/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- RRsat Global Communications Network Ltd. (NASDAQ: RRST), a rapidly growing provider of comprehensive content management and global distribution services to the television and radio broadcasting industries, announced today that the Company was ranked among the Top Teleport Operators for 2008 by the World Teleport Association. RRsat was ranked among the top 20 teleport operators in all three award categories - 'the Global Top Twenty', 'the Independent Top Twenty' and 'the Fast Twenty'.

The World Teleport Association compiles the Top Teleport Operator rankings by surveying teleport operators around the world on their facilities, services and business results. The Global Top Twenty ranks companies based on revenues from all customized communications sources and includes operators of teleports, satellite fleets and fiber networks. The Independent Top Twenty ranks companies based on revenue from all sources, but excludes companies whose core business is ownership and operation of a satellite fleet or terrestrial network. These twenty companies have a proven track record and commitment to innovation and providing value-added services. The Fast Twenty ranks all teleport-operating companies based on year-over-year revenue growth in their most recent fiscal years.

David Rivel, RRsat's Founder and Chief Executive Officer, commented on the prestigious ranking in all three categories stating, "I am extremely proud and honored that RRsat, after many years of rapid growth and expansion, was ranked among the top 20 teleport operators in all three categories. This is a true testament to our commitment to our customers as well as to our ability to build a true global leader in the forefront of innovation, technology and service. I would like to express my gratitude to all the dedicated managers and employees of the Company for bringing us to where we stand today, ranked by the respected World Teleport Association, and part of a very prestigious group of some the industries' most prominent players."
