AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 13, 1999-- TeraGlobal Communications Corp. (trading symbol: TGCC), the first company with a true convergence solution for voice, video and media, formally launched its new communication and collaboration network service at the Motorola, Inc.

''TeraMedia is a next-generation communication technology delivered as a robust, yet easy-to-use service. It enhances workflow efficiency and personal productivity while saving time and money. It is the comprehensive communication and collaboration solution.''
''Motorola's advanced processors give TeraGlobal the horsepower to run its leading-edge compression to produce cost-effective, high-quality streaming audio, video and data,'' said Rich Johnson, Vice President and Sales Director for Computing, Networking and Computing Systems Group at Motorola.

TeraMedia Services are provided through an extended Service Agreement with a fixed monthly fee that is all-inclusive, bundling the cost of network and workstation hardware, software licenses, help desk, and all connectivity charges into a single bill. This gives customers the full utility of a TeraMedia Network solution without the high upfront capital costs and maintenance associated with other networks.
