NTPL news. A lot of fluff (no hard numbers) but good news all the same. mike (BSNS WIRE) Netplex Wins Two 'Voice Over IP' Convergence Contracts Netplex Wins Two 'Voice Over IP' Convergence Contracts Business Editors/Hi-Tech Writers RESTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 18, 2000--The Netplex Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: NTPL) today announced that it has recently won contracts with two major companies to implement sophisticated e-business infrastructure solutions based on emerging "voice over IP" (VoIP) technologies. VoIP represents a key component in the current convergence of voice, data, and video transmission through Internet Protocol (IP) networks. Due to the sensitive nature of the implemented technologies, and at the request of the customers, names and details of the contracts were not available for release. "Voice over IP represents the next major step toward leveraging Internet-based infrastructure in business-to-business communications," said Netplex President Pamela Fredette. "These engagements demonstrate Netplex's ability to deliver leading-edge Internet infrastructure services as part of its complete e-solutions offering." One contract is with a major communications equipment company. Under the terms of the agreement, Netplex's e-Infrastructure Services division will work alongside the customer's engineers to integrate its proprietary voice/data convergence technology system into its customers' operations. This VoIP system allows businesses to offer local and long distance voice and data services over IP networks. In addition, Netplex personnel will provide customer support services including problem isolation and resolution, new feature recommendation and testing, and advanced consultation. The other contract is with a major petroleum pipeline company. The customer has engaged Netplex to implement an IP-based Wide Area Network (WAN) that will enable the transmission of data, voice, and video among more than 100 stations. By digitally connecting the stations and combining the customer's voice and data communications, the company expects to achieve significant telecommunications cost savings, increased information flow, improved response times, and centralized communications management.
