Via this months released 10k, JavaMan is stillin getting 'pumped up'. "From its product development programs the Company expects to introduce a number of new products within the next 12 months. One new product is JavaMan, a platform independent, Internet-ready Network Management System ("NMS") which the Company created to expand the reach of MegaVision over the Internet. All necessary software is expected to reside on MegaSwitch II, pre-configured prior to customer delivery. JavaMan's use of existing Web standards provides remote manageability in both Internet and intranet environments." "The Company also has a number of other new networking product development programs underway, including Gigabit Ethernet switching, ATM and FDDI uplink modules. These products are being developed in response to current technological trends and end user demands for greater bandwidth and product flexibility. The Company is in the process of consolidating Xyplex' research and development projects with its own programs. As a result of its consolidation of Fibronics' research and development projects with its programs, the Company integrated the MegaSwitch II technology, including Gigabit Ethernet, with the GigaHub architecture. In 1997, the Company recently announced a GigaFrame product strategy, the architecture for which will consist of a Gigabit Ethernet Switch, a GigaHub enterprise switch, MegaSwitch II and two new low cost 10 Mbps to 100 Mbps stackable switches, all of which are now available. The Company shipped its first GigaFrame switch, the 12 port GFS 3012, in the fourth quarter of 1997. This switch, which also provides Gigabit Ethernet transmission over fiber optic cable to a distance of 100 kilometers, won a best switching product award at ComNet '98 and the Editor's choice award by Communications News magazine." "New products under development in the area of fiber optics include transmission products for cellular and personal communication systems which allow transmission over fiber optic cable between sites and also fiber optic components that will improve cable TV transmission. These products are expected to be available within the next six months."
