021099 Press Release
Business Editors
WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 10, 1999--
Franklin Telecom Wednesday announced that new orders exceeding
$900,000 were booked for Tempest(R) DVG Systems.
While one order was from an established customer, another represents an initial order from a new mid-Atlantic area customer. Peter Buswell, Franklin's president said: "This new customer is in an area in which unique geographic conditions have mandated that all in-going and out-going calls have been toll calls, until now. By strategic deployment of Franklin's VoIP solutions, residents and businesses in this region can now anticipate a new era in communication possibilities.
"In addition to supplying the hardware, Franklin will once again
handle installation and maintenance, making this another turn-key
operation," said Buswell. In addition, Buswell went on to announce that this installation will hook onto the FNet network. The second order is from an existing customer that is continuing a scheduled expansion of an established VoIP network. Buswell continued, "At last, we are enjoying the positive tension of racing to meet new installation schedules along with fairly demanding expansion
commitments which are already in place. This is the kind of logistical
problem a COO loves to tackle."
The primary business of Franklin Telecom, founded in 1981, is the
design and manufacturing of communications devices, high speed LAN,
WAN, Telco and Satellite Systems and software. Franklin customers have
installed more than 100,000 nodes worldwide. Franklin's Internet
