  Cornet Technology, Inc Winner of a New Product Achievement Award at ComNet '99 in Washington, DC

The Company's FSX Fiber Crosspoint Switch Is The First Single Platform Hybrid Copper/Fiber Crosspoint Matrix Switch

Springfield, VA - February 3, 1999 - Cornet Technology, Inc., the leader in high-speed matrix switching, today announced that its FSX fiber crosspoint switch for both enterprise and carrier environments received the New Product Achievement Award in the Network Management category at ComNet '99 on Wednesday, January 27, 1999.

Winners were chosen by non-exhibitor ComNet attendees who cast their votes for finalists chosen earlier by a panel of judges consisting of representatives of the trade and business press, industry research firms, the financial community and academia. Cornet Technology, Inc was one of three finalists in the Network Management category.

"With over 100 new products submitted for these awards, Cornet Technology, Inc is honored to be a category winner," said Nat Kumar, CEO of Cornet Technology, Inc. "The FSX is indicative of our continuing efforts to utilize the latest technology to meet our customers needs. We are delighted that those who voted appreciated the innovative design of the FSX and the network problems it solves."

The FSX is the first and only crosspoint switch in the industry with the ability to provide a crosspoint switching fabric for both electrical and optical interfaces. Its unique design allows a consolidation of copper and fiber applications to be tested and monitored through a single platform. This platform is perfectly positioned to boost interface speed and distribution requirements.

The FSX switching system consists of two basic components: The GSX switching engine and a FCU. The FSX design permits circuits to terminate directly into the FCU and then be distributed throughout the data center. This flexible and scaleable architecture provides a number of benefits to network planners. These benefits include, the ability to:

Simplify management of copper and fiber resources
Eliminate fiber patch panels
Connect dissimilar cable and equipment types
Provide one solution for both low and high speed test access
Size the FSX to proper port requirements
Automate backup switches
Extend line distances
Centralize management of all test access Integrate with any SNMP platform

Cornet Technology, Inc., headquartered in Northern Virginia, is a privately held corporation. The company designs and manufactures vendor-independent hardware switching tools for effectively managing networks. These tools, which can be distributed throughout the network and are software manageable from a central site, extend the reach of the operations support team. Cornet Technology, Inc. has four sales/service locations in North America, fully owned subsidiaries in Frankfurt, Germany (Cornet Technology GmbH) and Tokyo, Japan (NCKK), and branch offices in London and Singapore.
