Cambridge Telcom Report, Feb 28, 2000

Inet Technologies, Inc. begins its new fiscal year with a focus on a primary business goal -- becoming the industry's preeminent provider of technology designed to optimize performance of New World Networks.

The company is already achieving success in this area by recently entering into GeoProbe contracts with prominent companies such as Level 3 Communications, and previously announced Williams Communications Group, Inc. and Nextel Communications, Inc.

Inet's GeoProbe development plans will enable the system to extend into the IP world for monitoring, as well as the advancing wireless networks for GPRS data technologies.

"We are excited that the industry is embracing this logical network migration path," says Elie Akilian, president and chief executive officer of Inet. "Our GeoProbe enhancements will help our clients follow this path more efficiently and effectively. The interest Inet is already seeing from next generation carriers not only reinforces the significant role that SS7 plays in network integration, but also the value our clients place in Inet's in-depth understanding of signaling and convergence network issues."

GeoProbe's network and service-level performance monitoring applications provide customers with a scalable system for total and instant network visibility.
