ALAMEDA, California - January 29, 1997 - TCSI Corporation (Nasdaq: TCSI), a
global provider of software to the telecom industry, announced today that
it has been awarded a contract by Anritsu Corporation, one of Japan's
largest telecom measuring equipment manufacturers. Under the terms of the
contract, TCSI will develop the software for a test and measurement system
that will enable Anritsu to monitor telecom equipment used in large
networks from a range of suppliers. The system will be integrated in a
TMN-based network management system based on SolutionCore, TCSI's primary
software product. Anritsu will deploy this network management system for
one of the largest telecom carriers in Japan, complementing their entire
range of installed measurement equipment. This contract, the third new
agreement TCSI has signed with a Pacific Rim company in the past twelve
months, calls for development to begin immediately.
Anritsu measurement systems have been used in the research, development,
manufacturing, and maintenance operations of worldwide telecom operators.
Anritsu's product range is wide, providing support technologies for today's
networks including measuring instruments for digital communications,
optical communications, wireless communications, and microwave measuring
instruments. TCSI's software is designed to enable Anritsu to manage,
monitor, and automate their measurement instruments more easily.
"Our new measurement products, based on TCSI's object-oriented technology,
will enable Anritsu to develop new management systems quickly and deliver
to market faster than before, a packaged solution for multi-vendor telecom
systems," said Koji Shoji, general manager, measuring instruments division
of Anritsu Corporation.
"As a leader in a highly competitive and dynamic marketplace, Anritsu has
demonstrated a high degree of confidence in TCSI's software solutions,"
said Ram Banin, president of TCSI. "TCSI's new relationship with Anritsu
serves as a milestone in our effort to continue the expansion of our
Pacific Rim customer base."
