ot## Glenayre Enhanced Services Platform Attains Official Certification for China's GSM and CDMA Network Strategic Milestone Strengthens Glenayre's China Presence CHARLOTTE, N.C., March 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Glenayre Technologies Inc. (Nasdaq: GEMS - news) today announced that the Ministry of Information Industry (MII) of the People's Republic of China has officially certified the Glenayre MVP® modular voice processing system for interconnectivity with China's public SS7 and MFR2 telecommunications networks. Glenayre is only the second foreign voice messaging vendor to achieve this endorsement. China enacted regulation that requires voice messaging vendors to pass compliance certification in order to sell their equipment in China. In February 1999, the Glenayre MVP enhanced services platform received official certification, ensuring that Glenayre's MVP platform can connect to any switch in China Telecom's telephone network which is using the SS7 protocol for voice messaging. The SS7 interface on Glenayre's enhanced services platform provides faster call set-up, more efficient use of trunk circuits and represents greater efficiency, reliability and cost savings for network operators. More than 300 SS7 functions were successfully tested on the Glenayre platform. Additionally, Glenayre's MVP platform is certified compliant in China with the MFR2 protocol. ''Glenayre's commitment to deliver the highest quality enhanced services product for China has enabled us to achieve this certification and approval from MII within a very short period of time,'' said Daniel Liew, senior director for Glenayre's Integrated Network Group in the Asia Pacific region. ''Our MVP system has met and exceeded all MII's requirements for interconnectivity to China's national telecommunications network. It has also passed both the stringent SS7 MTP Level 2 and Level 3 TUP functionality tests established by the MII Telecom Administration Test Laboratory.'' ''China sets exacting standards and Glenayre is proud to receive this certification,'' said Bill Edwards, senior vice president of worldwide sales and marketing for Glenayre's Integrated Network Group. ''This further demonstrates Glenayre's commitment to becoming the worldwide leading supplier of innovative enhanced services solutions with the high reliability network operators require.'' According to Warren Neuburger, president and general manager of Glenayre's Integrated Network Group, ''Glenayre is very excited about the market opportunity China offers, and this achievement is truly a milestone that will enable Glenayre to expand our market presence in China.'' For over 30 years, Glenayre Technologies Inc. has been developing leading edge personal telecommunication systems. Glenayre's enhanced services solutions enable mobile and fixed network operators to add subscribers, increase revenues and reduce churn. With over 2,000 employees and with products installed in over 100 countries, Glenayre's net sales exceeded $399 million in 1998. Additional information about Glenayre is available at: glenayre.com .

Deal?>(from Yahoo) Ericy by: Tubed_1999 15841 of 15841 Well this is probably pure speculation from my source but, I had a good conversation yesterday with a QCOM employee regarding a potential Ericy deal. He had heard rumors filtering around the QCOM camp that a deal is complete but waiting SEC approval. And given the recent low trading volume and minor price fluctuations I would think that people are waiting word from both camps as to the details. The latest run-up in stock price was in anticipation of a favorable outcome for QCOM. The next run-up in price will be based on hearing of the details of a QCOM/Ericy deal. That agreement should move us into the high $80.00's. What I don't understand is why is everyone waiting to buy when it is obvious that QCOM's share price will increase substantially in value here in the short term. Because once MM's make their decision to buy QCOM the share price will increase dramatically into the 100's. Tubed
