Franklin Telecom Introduces Internet Gatekeeper Franklin Gatekeeper Optimizes VoIP Interoperability WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 1, 1999-- Franklin Telecom announced today that it is introducing its new Franklin Gatekeeper this week in Los Angeles. The Gatekeeper enables interoperability between Franklin's family of VoIP products and H.323 compliant products from other vendors. Franklin's Tempest® Data Voice Gateway Systems equipped with the Gatekeeper can enable Computer to Phone, Computer to Computer and Web to Call Center communications. (The Tempest DVG also facilitates calls from any phone to any other phone.) The Gatekeeper can be run on the same Microsoft NT Server that is running Franklin's proprietary Authentication, Mapping, and Settlement (AMAS)/Billing system. The Gatekeeper is available as an annual software support license. This will insure Franklin customers that as standards evolve and become more sophisticated, their Gatekeepers will keep pace with these changes. The Gatekeeper, in conjunction with other Franklin Telecom products, will be demonstrated March 2-4th at CTExpo '99 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Franklin Telecom will be in Booth 3301. This is the second of four announcements that will be made prior to the show. 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 over 100,000 nodes worldwide. Franklin's Internet subsidiary FNet provides Voice over Internet Protocol global Telco services.

Franklin Telecom Sweetens Voice over the Internet for Remote Workers Branch DVG Ideal for Small Branch Offices WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 1, 1999-- Franklin Telecom (OTC BB: FTEL) is introducing a four port version of their award winning Tempest® Data Voice Gateway this week at CTExpo '99 in Los Angeles. The Branch DVG has been optimized for the needs of the remote worker or for small branch offices. Each Branch DVG can interconnect four analog devices--including phones, fax or key system lines--directly to the Internet or to a private data network. The Branch DVG incorporates many of the same features found in the larger Tempest while drastically reducing the cost for integrating the remote worker or small branch office into the mainstream corporate environment. Peter Buswell, Franklin's President and COO said, ''This is super cool because, for once, the little guy can actually be out in front of the giants. The mega-corporations are being very conservative about diving full-blown into the Voice over the Internet (VoIP) revolution--and yet with the Branch DVG the small to medium businesses can easily afford to take advantage of VoIP features that make them look (and function) like giants to their customers. This can give them a great edge.'' The Branch DVG is a low-profile, easy to remotely manage SNMP compliant package. It will be demonstrated at CTExpo '99 in Booth 3301. This is the third of four announcements that will be made prior to the show. The primary business of Franklin Telecom, founded in 1981, is the design and manufacturing of communications devices, high speed LAN, WAN, Telco and software.
