CrossKeys Launches Broadband Management Product
In Europe; First U.K. Customer Already Reaping The
Benefits
LONDON, ENGLAND--
CrossKeys Dyband software enables ISPs to deliver consistent QoS through
effective bandwidth management
CrossKeys Systems Corporation (Nasdaq: CKEY - news; TSE: CKY - news) is pleased to announce the
availability of CrossKeys Dyband(TM) software in Europe to address the rapidly growing Internet service
provider (ISP) market.
CrossKeys Dyband software is a unique broadband services management product that addresses the key ``last
mile'' issue facing dial-up, digital subscriber line (DSL), satellite and wireless service providers -- how to
deliver consistent, reliable, high-speed service to home users, home offices and businesses and maintain
service profitability.
With CrossKeys Dyband software, ISPs can dynamically manage bandwidth, support more subscribers on
existing broadband connection, offer unlimited tiers of service and gain real-time and historical visibility into
service performance. These capabilities allow ISPs to improve the profit potential of their core business by
increasing service revenues, reducing operations costs and delivering consistent high-speed service that meets
customer expectations.
MANNET, the first ISP on the British Island's Isle of Man, is one of the first European companies to adopt
CrossKeys Dyband software.
``Downloadable and very easily configurable, CrossKeys Dyband software addresses all our bandwidth
management needs. We can monitor our customers' traffic in real time. The software also recognizes and
copes with short surges, ensuring that packet delivery is not affected by traffic shaping,'' says Captain
McKenzie, Founder, MANNET. ``CrossKeys Dyband software is the only product that I have unreservedly
recommended and endorsed in the 30 years that I have been in the computing industry. At a fraction of the
price of competitors' products, it is the only product on the market worth investing in.''
CrossKeys Dyband software improves ISP profits and services by:
* dynamically managing bandwidth, increasing the number of subscribers that can be supported on the
current Internet connection(s) by up to 40 percent
* improving customer retention by managing and enforcing quality of service (QoS) rules
* enabling the creation and management of service tiers at distinct price points to meet the budgets and
interest of customers, increasing revenue by up to 30 percent
* delivering real-time and historical insight into service performance to support capacity analysis and
planning, billing, and customer and technical services, and
* providing a single management interface across all transport mediums (such as DSL, wireless, cable,
satellite, leased line, Ethernet).
``We continue to see industry interest and potential growth for CrossKeys Dyband software,'' says Ian
McLaren, President and CEO, CrossKeys. ``As we grow our market awareness and presence in North
America, launching into Europe was our next major step. We now have teams on the ground in both major
markets, supported by resellers and our e-commerce capabilities.''
CrossKeys will be exhibiting CrossKeys Dyband and CrossKeys Resolve® software at Telecommunications
Managers Association (TMA) 2000 (October 9 to 11, 2000) at booth M361 in Brighton, U.K.
