LEESBURG, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 5, 1997-- Coherent Communications Systems
Corp continues to expand its national distribution network for the Consortium Conference Bridge,
with a new distributor, NACT Telecommunications, Inc. (NACT). NACT has a 15 year
background in sales of customized, integrated switching and billing systems for the interexchange
carrier (IXC) industry, with its core markets including long distance resellers, call centers,
universities, correctional institutions, corporations and other niche markets. Regarded as a pioneer
in providing turnkey equipment and services, NACT has specialized in the switching and specialty

systems are designed to operate in an unattended mode, handling a diverse range of enhanced
applications, including pre-paid calling cards, pre-paid cellular, international call back, and phone
room management.
Coherent's Consortium Conference Bridge is highly synergistic with NACT's existing product
base, as underlined by Coherent's VP of Operations, Dan Wonak: "By combining the Coherent
Consortium Conference Bridge with NACT's switch, it is possible to offer end users the facility for
multiple conferences to take place, providing them with a totally transparent, seamless service
which will also provide additional opportunity to drive network usage. We regard this as a natural
and exciting development, giving both Coherent and NACT access to a considerably wider
market in the future."
