TCSI's Object Technology Selected for 120-site Intranet at the
Federal Aviation Administration
Government Systems Incorporated Uses OSP to Build State-of-the-Art
Telecommunications Applications
BERKELEY, California -- July 22, 1996 - TCSI Corporation (Nasdaq: TCSI), a
global provider of software to the Telecom industry, announced today that
Government Systems Incorporated (GSI), a prime contractor to the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA), has selected TCSI's Object Services Package
(OSP), a distributed object development and runtime environment, to build a
120-site agency intranet for the FAA. GSI, a provider of global telecom
services and solutions to government agencies, is replacing the FAA's
Agency Data Telecommunications Network (ADTN2000) X.25 technology with
higher-speed T1 backbone connections. The system provides web-based
database access to internal developers, management, and customers.
Designed, installed, and maintained by GSI as part of a 10-year services
contract with the FAA, ADTN2000 carries its data traffic, including payroll
information and e-mail, connecting 50,000 FAA users worldwide.
"OSP gave us the essential architecture we needed to deliver a reliable
back-end for our client/server application that is distributed across the
entire enterprise -- and it serves as a key component for our Web-based
application," said Paul Brewster, GSI's director of special projects.
"Using OSP, we have been able to structure our development processes,
shorten development time, reduce costs, and deliver a state-of-the-art
network to the FAA."
"The ADTN2000 contract demonstrates OSP's important contribution to
accelerating development time and creating robust, scalable intranet-based
applications for managing mission-critical networks," said Ram Banin,
executive vice president and general manager of TCSI's Object Software
Group. "The continued successful implementation of OSP strengthens its
position as the de facto standard for building enterprise-wide, object-
oriented telecommunications management and operations support systems."
