Tuesday March 10, 6:03 am Eastern Time Company Press Release Intermedia Communications Deploys Larscom's Orion 4000 Broadband Access Multiplexer to Make High-Speed Data Connections Network Service Provider Responds to Customers' Demands for Greater-than-T1 Frame Relay Access MILPITAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 10, 1998-- Larscom Incorporated (NASDAQ:LARS - news) today announced that Intermedia Communications, Inc., one of the nation's fastest growing providers of integrated telecommunications services, is deploying Larscom's Orion 4000 broadband access multiplexers and Mega-T multiple T1 inverse multiplexers to provide high-speed data services. Intermedia began placing Orion 4000s in its points of presence (POPs) and Mega-Ts at customer sites first beginning in 1997, thus offering its frame relay customers greater-than-T1 access which is much more cost effective than a T3 network circuit. The Orion 4000 was selected based on three factors: the ability to provide cost-effective, fractional T3 bandwidth by linking multiple inexpensive T1 circuits; redundancy features to significantly reduce the risk of network down-time; and the ability to scale up to T3 and ATM network architectures as necessary. Filling the Void Between T1 and T3 Frame Relay Access Michael Johnson, Intermedia's Director of Enhanced Engineering commented, ''For many of our customers, T1s just aren't fast enough and T3s are too expensive. As a customer-focused telecommunications company, we are aware of the rapidly changing requirements for broadband communications, which is why we are so pleased with the salability and reliability of Larscom's broadband product solutions. ''The Orion 4000 provides high-speed fault-tolerant interconnections while enabling us to grow into the more expensive T3 or ATM equipment as needed. Plus, the Orion 4000's flexible architecture lets us keep our options open with regard to changing and enhancing our network in the future.'' Intermedia Communications is also deploying Larscom's T3 Mux module in their OPs and Access-T45 T3 network service units at the customer site for full T3 bandwidth. High-Speed Fault-Tolerant Interconnections ''Our customers, especially the network service providers, demand network reliability. With a simple bridge/repeater combination, when the network loses a T1 connection -- you lose the link,'' said Paul Strudwick, VP Strategic Planning and Business Development at Larscom. ''Larscom's Orion 4000 delivers cost-effective multimegabit services for bandwidth-intensive applications. More importantly, should one T1 line fail, the Orion 4000 will continue to pass data and return the link to service automatically once it is free of errors, thereby ensuring Intermedia's mission critical communications.'' Larscom Incorporated (NASDAQ:LARS - news) is a leading provider of high speed wide area network (WAN) access equipment.

Dude, can I say this kind, please stop with the Lars. The stock traded 25,000 shares today. The total capitalization that changed hands was less than $200,000 bucks or less than 3 of my trades today. I know you want this thing higher, but it is clearing not trading in blocks....by definition, a block is 20,000 or more shares, so ony one block could have, but didnt, trade. Announcement, what announcement, are you indicating you know some inside news. Clearly you must know that both tippor and tippee are liable forinsider trading. The stock is stinking rightnow lehman. Dead money, wait for some action then get in. Steve@yamner.com
