DCM UK AND EXPAND NETWORKS TO BRIDGE VOICE GAP IN CONVERGENCE SOLUTIONS

Newly Appointed Expand Networks Distributor DCM UK, to Focus on the UK IP telephony Market Space

Roseland, NJ— June 7, 2004 – Expand Networks a leading provider of Application Traffic Management systems and Digital Communications Management (DCM), a leader in supplying and supporting technology communications tools today announced a new partnership in which DCM will distribute Expand Networks’ products in the UK in order to deliver significant benefits into the burgeoning Voice and Data Convergence market space. The three prevalent inhibitors to the acceptance of IP telephony are the lack of available Wide Area Network (WAN) capacity, Quality of Service (QoS) and inefficiencies inherent in enterprise networks such as latency and jitter. By taking on Expand's Accelerator product line, DCM UK is now able to provide a break-through economical solution for the implementation of converged networks. Expand addresses all three obstacles in the adoption of VoIP: · Frees up 75% of the existing WAN capacity for VoIP, clearing the way for voice traffic at a fraction of the cost of WAN bandwidth. · Guarantees VoIP bandwidth with Layer 7 QoS and monitoring capabilities. · Reduces VoIP latency and jitter with packet fragmentation. In order to promote the Expand Networks’ product range as an integral part of an IP telephony solution, DCM UK will provide in-depth product training and support together with complementary vendors Zultys (www.zultys.com) and Vegastream (www.vegastream.com) Further value is added through DCM’s pedigree in Ireland having supplied and supported in excess of 8,000 voice solutions over the last 26 years and having been awarded Expand Network’s Value Added Reseller for EMEA 2002 and for the Most Innovative Project in 2003 for Hibernian Insurance, Ireland.
