Coherent Communications to supply Echo Canceller to
Nokia
LEESBURG, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 21, 1997--Nokia Telecommunications has signed
a three year, multi-million dollar extension to its echo canceller supply and product development
agreement with Coherent Communications Systems Corporation, extending the long-term
relationship between the two companies.
Coherent's CEO, Dan McGinnis, commented: ``Nokia is a valued partner. Although Coherent
continues its leading position in echo cancellation technology, technology alone does not make a
successful partnership. The true value of our partnership with Nokia comes from the extensive
effort put into the relationship by the people from both of our companies.'' Coherent has provided
more channels of echo cancellation for GSM cellular operators than any other echo canceller
manufacturer worldwide. Coherent's Echo Cancellers are designed to exceed current ITU-T
standards (G.168).

performance and voice quality, on wireline and wireless networks, across the full range of
applications. In its standalone business, the Company specializes in providing a complete turnkey
service, encompassing all aspects of design, supply, installation, management and maintenance of
the cancellers and associated network equipment. Coherent also offers the industry's most
advanced network management system for echo cancellers in its c/mor(TM) product.
Coherent Communications Systems Corporation is the world leader in state of the art voice
enhancement technology, spanning echo cancellation platforms and associated network software.
The company's products are used globally by major wireless and wireline telecommunications
companies and network operators, including AT&T Wireless, British Telecom, Cable & Wireless,
Cellular One, Cisco Systems, Deutsche Telekom, France Telecom, KDD, Mercury, Nokia,
NORTEL, Telia, and Telmex, among the extensive list. Coherent is a fully accredited ISO 9001
