Press Release: (BSNS WIRE) Franklin Caps Quarter With Million- Dollar Order; Orders for Franklin Caps Quarter With Million- Dollar Order; Orders for Tempest DVGs Accelerate Business Editors & Technology Writers WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 22, 1998-- Franklin Telecom (OTC BB:FTEL) Tuesday announced that it has received an order exceeding $1 million for Tempest Data Voice Gateway Systems from a Southern California customer that is deploying a national Voice over IP network. This contract follows previous purchases of Tempest Systems that have already been shipped and deployed in establishing California as the first leg of its planned national network. For competitive reasons, the customer does not wish to be identified. According to Franklin's chief financial officer, Tom Russell: "Franklin is extremely pleased to receive this order. While a percentage of this latest contract will be delivered during the quarter ending Dec. 31, the balance will fall into the next quarter. This is consistent with our expectations of significant continued growth in hardware sales." Peter Buswell, Franklin's president and chief operating officer, added: "This is a solid example of where we are going with the Tempest System. "There are three distinct benefits to our company in this contract: (1) we have the sale of the hardware itself; (2) as this is a customer utilizing our turnkey solution, we will have ongoing revenues for maintaining their system; (3) within a short period of time, we will be connecting their sites into our FNet backbone, as well. "In other words, we have a win-win-win situation. This is a great way to close out the calendar year and go into the second half of our fiscal year." The primary business of Franklin Telecom, founded in 1981, is the design and manufacturing of communications devices, high-speed LAN, WAN, Telco and software. Franklin customers have installed more than 100,000 nodes worldwide. Franklin's Internet subsidiary FNet provides Voice over Internet Protocol global Telco services.
