Newbridge Networks to Re-Sell Filter Products from mPhase Technologies Products allow telcos to provide telephone service, high-speed Internet access and video over the same copper line NORWALK, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 31, 2000-- mPhase Technologies, Inc. (OTC BB:XDSL), the leading designer of broadcast digital television and high-speed data solutions for the telecommunications industry, and Newbridge Networks Corporation (NYSE:NN - news), a leading provider of networking solutions, today announced that Newbridge Networks will re-sell mPhase's filter products, including the POTS Splitter Shelf and Splitter Card. The partnership enables Newbridge Networks to equip central offices with products that ensure efficient, clear and uninterrupted telephone service in conjunction with both high-speed Internet access and video, all over the same copper line. ''Establishing world-class partnerships is critical to the continued growth of our company,'' said Ronald A. Durando, president and CEO of mPhase Technologies. ''By entering into this agreement with Newbridge Networks, we are solidifying our position as a leader in the DSL solutions provider market. Our filter products will enable Newbridge Networks to meet the growing needs of its impressive list of customers, which includes 350 of the world's largest telecommunications service providers.'' ''Our goal is to provide telcos with the highest quality products in the industry,'' said Ron Coleman, director of corporate contracts (OEM) of Newbridge Networks. ''mPhase's filter products enable telcos to save money and valuable resources by utilizing the existing copper infrastructure to deliver voice, video and Internet access. By delivering the latest in access solutions, we are able to strengthen our relationships with our customers and give them the competitive advantage.'' About the Filters mPhase's new filter products have been tested by Telcordia Technologies (formerly Bellcore). The POTS Splitter Shelf resides at the telco central office and separates the voice signals from the data signals eliminating the risk of data frequencies interfering with telephone services. mPhase developed its POTS Splitter Shelf to address these issues by providing the highest degree of efficiency and using the smallest amount of central office space, while remaining passive. mPhase's central office POTS Splitter Shelf has the highest port density in the marketplace, enabling maximum efficiency, while utilizing minimal space. The In-Line Filter (similar to a phone jack adapter) ensures DSL signals do not conflict with voice signals at the customer premises. It comes in the Basic (2 wire) model and the Ultra (4 wire) model, and works with both G.Lite and full-rate DSL. mPhase's NID Splitter is also a customer premises filter, but is installed directly into the network interface instead of the phone jack. Both filters provide a highly efficient method for ensuring high-quality and uninterrupted voice service. About mPhase Technologies, Inc. mPhase Technologies, Inc.
