CommSystems, Inc.
LEESBURG, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 27, 1997--Coherent Communications Systems
Corporation's (NASDAQ:CCSC - news) EC-6000(TM) Series 2 Echo Canceller has been selected
by satellite systems integrator CommSystems, Inc. of San Diego, California for implementation into
equipment supplied to CommSystem's customers worldwide.
CommSystems is a turnkey telecommunications network supplier whose capabilities and
experience span a broad range of different telecommunications technologies, products, and
systems. This experience allows it to deliver an equally broad range of network solutions to meet
their customers network needs.
``Our goal as a systems integrator is to provide our end user with a complete high quality, high
performance solution,'' stated Preston Vorlicek, President of CommSystems. ``I have worked with
Coherent's products in the past, and after comparing similar products in the industry, Coherent has
consistently met our needs on quality, price and features. Coherent ensures our competitive
advantage with their quality echo cancellation products.''
CommSystems has selected Coherent's EC-6000(TM) Series 2 Digital Echo Canceller which has
been designed to exceed the new ITU-T G.168 Recommendation. The EC-6000 Series 2 Echo
Canceller features Coherent's state of the art RISC devices, providing a flexible and fully
future-proof platform for consistent, reliable performance. The echo canceller's design also
includes optimization features to ensure superior ``subjective'' voice quality and fail-safe facsimile
transmission.
The Coherent echo canceller used patented Non-Linear Processor (NLP) techniques, as well as
fast and stable convergence (less than 50ms for combined ERL and ERLE of 35dB) - both
prerequisites for modern network applications. In addition, the unit features local loopback
facilities, extensive alarm reporting and self-test diagnostics, as well as significantly reduced power
consumption for improved performance and reduced heat generation. The Coherent EC-6000
Series 2 Digital Echo Canceller supports a full range of application-specific Coherent software,
enhancing the unit's adaptability for a wide range of problem-solving in different network situations.
Software can be remotely downloaded and upgraded, providing a versatile and cost-effective
means of maintaining maximum operational flexibility as the network changes. The echo canceller
not only supports configuration and control locally, via a hand-held terminal, but also remotely via
a PC or other terminal.
``CommSystem's selection of Coherent's product line highlights our position within the industry as
the leading manufacturer of superior echo cancellation technology,'' stated David Powell, President
and COO of Coherent. ``For network providers we not only provide exceptional voice
enhancement, but we add tremendous value as well. Coherent looks forward to building a strong
relationship with CommSystems.''
The CommSystems team has worked with and for most of the leading technology, product and
system suppliers, providing network solutions for customers around the world in industries such as
government, transportation, broadcasting, petroleum, construction, banking, and
telecommunications services, among many others. CommSystems designs and implements
complete ``alternative networks'' for private and public businesses and organizations throughout
the world offering voice, data and video services.
Coherent Communications Systems Corporation is a worldwide leader in state of the art voice
enhancement technology, that spans echo cancellation platforms and associated network software.
