ATCC
Gary, it looks like ATCC really made a quantum leap Friday. This is one from way back when that got caught up in the relentless brow beating the market took last year. After the big push up last week, I called the company which I've already posted on, and also, I've been checking around and came up with some newsletter coverage which I've posted below.
I first bought way back last March when I saw your comments over on the RB board about their multiplexing products (IMUX). I continued to buy more shares as it moved down with the market while waiting for the new products to ramp up.
Last year, there was a slow down in sales of their older CSU/DSU products, but that was expected. What interest me is the PowerLink DSL Aggregator--an offshoot of their Inverse Multiplexer (IMUX). ATCC has been bringing new sales reps online to promote this, and it looks to me like the pieces are in place to move product this year.

====================================
"Astrocom (ATCC 3/16 NASDAQ BB), a 33 year old communications product company, has emerged from a three year repositioning period with a new product line, a very experienced and strong management and engineering development team and a nationwide network of distributors," says Gunther Karger (Discovery Letter, 14950 SW 86 Ave., Miami, FL 33158, stocks21@bellsouth.net). "The company's new product line is focused on its DSL Powerlink Aggregator which combines multiple DSL lines, which typically deliver less than 1 mbs access speed, into a single connection at speeds up to 6 mbs. This method, sometimes known as 'inverse multiplexing' can dramatically reduce bandwidth and line access costs, decrease the installation cost, increase access speed and improve circuit reliability. Connection costs decrease from $1,000 - $6,000 per month for TI or fiber lines to $200 - $600 per month for multiple standard copper telephone DSL lines. This product targets the estimated $300 million business DSL market of which Astrocom expects to get about 20-30%. Astrocom anticipates that revenues will significantly grow and return the company to profitability. Buy." |
