AM Communications Announces New Management Structure
QUAKERTOWN, Pa., May 2, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- AM Communications, Inc.
(OTC:AMCM), the leading supplier of network integrity solutions for the
broadband industry, today announced a new management structure to enhance its
position in the growing network management market. Effective immediately, AM's
central engineering organization will be separated into two distinct teams:
Hardware Systems Engineering and the Omni Software Business Unit.
Hardware Systems Engineering will be managed by Mr. Michael Quelly, AM's current
Vice President of Engineering. In addition to providing engineering support for
AM's traditional hardware products for outside plant, headend, and hub
monitoring, this organization will focus on new technologies for the management
of access networks and "last-mile distribution" beyond traditional HFC. Further,
Hardware Systems Engineering will be responsible for ensuring all AM and 3rd
party products adhere to a consistent set of specifications associated with AM's
OmniStatTM Management Architecture. Finally, Mr. Quelly's organization will
continue to represent the company in industry standards forums, and will drive
standards implementation including the emerging SCTE/HMS standards for status
monitoring.
The Omni Software Business Unit will be managed by Mr. Roger Jack who has joined
AM as Vice President of Software Engineering. Mr. Jack brings to AM over 15
years of software development for QVC, Visio Corporation, Unisys, and General
Motors, and has been published in Microsoft Systems Journal and Microsoft
Internet Developer. As a business unit, Mr. Jack's organization is responsible
for
Journal and Microsoft Internet Developer. As a business unit, Mr. Jack's
organization is responsible for developing AM's core software products in
addition to delivering custom software applications and services to AM's
customers and technology partners. As the OmniStat Management Architecture is
only one part of a complete telecommunications management environment, the Omni
Software Business Unit will ensure that AM solutions are fully integrated with
customers' other network management, decision-support, and operations support
systems.
"Focus, responsiveness, and growth are the motivators for this new structure,"
said Harry Tankin, President of AM Communications. "The rate of technological
and business change in the broadband industry requires our company to marshal
resources and direct talent in the most competitive way possible. This structure
allows each team to be successful, consistent with product, quality, and
time-to-market goals, while at the same time providing complementary skills and
expertise," concluded Tankin.
AM Communications, Inc. located in Quakertown, Pennsylvania is the broadband
industry's leading provider of open systems for outside plant, headend and hub
network management solutions. AM's solutions provide operators with greater
control over their network's performance levels and reliability, giving them a
competitive edge in today's deregulated communications environment. Through
partnerships with leading network equipment and technology companies such as
ADC, Alpha Technologies, Barco, General Instrument/Motorola, Invensys, Philips,
Scientific-Atlanta, and Wavetek Wandel Goltermann, AM Communications has emerged
as a true open systems company capable of supporting multi-vendor networks
through cooperative engineering. Registered under ISO-9001, AM's 25+ years of
quality, dependability, and service are key to designing, building, and
implementing network integrity solutions for the broadband network.
