TCSI UNVEILS FLOW-THROUGH PROVISIONING CAPABILITY IN ITS BROADBAND
SOLUTIONSUITE
LEADING TELECOM SOFTWARE COMPANY ADDS NEW LEVEL OF AUTOMATION TO
BROADBAND PRODUCT PORTFOLIO
ALAMEDA, CALIFORNIA - October 15, 1997 - TCSI Corporation (Nasdaq: TCSI), a
global provider of software to the telecom industry today announced that it
will market the world's first fully automated, flow-through provisioning
system for the management of broadband networks.
TCSI will utilize this software as the flagship product within its
Broadband SolutionSuite, a portfolio of application modules and products
that enable telecom service providers to realize the benefits of integrated
service management in their broadband networks, including automated flow-
through service activation, reduced operational costs, improved service
quality, and significantly reduced time-to-market.
"This technology, combined with SolutionCore TM, TCSI's advanced development
environment for telecom management systems, will allow our customers to
manage an end-to-end, multi-vendor broadband network that can significantly
speed the time-to-market to deploy new services," said Ram Banin, TCSI's
president and chief executive officer. "This development represents a
significant milestone in TCSI's overall product development plan. TCSI's
goal is to offer our customers complete telecom solutions through a
comprehensive product offering of frameworks and turnkey systems, built on
a robust foundation to meet today's telecom industry needs and rapidly
scale to meet future demands. We are particularly excited about this
development, as it enables TCSI to deliver market proven solutions at a
lower cost to emerging carriers, as well as to larger, established carriers
worldwide."
The SONET network management system is designed to improve customer service
by provisioning services more rapidly and to make the repair process much
quicker. TCSI can modify and license the code developed for this system
directly to telecom operators or through other channels, such as equipment
manufacturers or systems integrators. This will enable the Company to
expand its marketing reach to new regions, as well as to other service
providers that previously sought more complete solutions at a lower cost.
