C-COR STREAMLINES CORPORATE STRUCTURE

AND KEY MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS

Conference Call Scheduled for January 4th

State College, PA (January 3, 2006) – C-COR Incorporated (Nasdaq: CCBL), a global provider of interoperable solutions that simplify the transition to on demand networks, today announced it will streamline its corporate structure and key manufacturing operations into functionally aligned groups aimed at better serving the rapidly changing global marketplace.

C-COR will further strengthen its relationships with the world’s top-tier network operators by bringing together sales, marketing, and business strategy through the creation of the Global Strategies group, and has named Mike Pohl (formerly President, Solutions Business Unit) as group president. C-COR will also ensure an efficient supply chain for its customers through the creation of an Operations group responsible for product development, manufacturing, and support, and has named John Caezza (formerly President, Access & Transport Business Unit) as that group’s president. C-COR Network Services will continue to operate as a stand-alone business unit under the leadership of David Levitan, President.

In a move to reduce expenses, C-COR will relocate certain processes from Wallingford, CT, to its Tijuana, Mexico, facility, as well as close its Sunnyvale, CA, location. It is anticipated that these adjustments, as well as adjustments in corporate support areas, will be completed by June 30, 2006, and will result in a workforce reduction of approximately 225 employees.

“C-COR remains committed to our strategic plan of delivering complete technology solutions for bandwidth expansion, next generation on demand services, and back office automation. These new group responsibilities, to be executed by some of the industry’s most experienced executives, will allow us to more optimally focus resources on IP-oriented product

lines already prioritized in our strategic business plan and on profitable growth opportunities,” said Dave Woodle, chairman and CEO of C-COR. “Our product lines are already in demand by many of the world’s most advanced networks, and we will continue to invest and prioritize our investments to best support our customers’ needs.”

These consolidation activities are expected to result in an operating expense level of between $25.0 and $27.0 million per quarter by the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, which begins on July 1, 2006. These projections include approximately $1.0 million related to amortization of intangible assets and approximately $1.0 million of stock compensation expense. The reduction in operating expense levels is anticipated to be phased in over the next six months, with a modest reduction in the third quarter of fiscal year 2006 and greater reductions in the fourth quarter. The timing of reductions is based on final decisions on implementation of the consolidation program. The Company expects to record non-cash asset impairment charges of approximately $7.0 to $9.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2006 and restructuring charges of approximately $5.0 to $6.0 million through the remainder of fiscal year 2006 related to these consolidation activities.
