Net to Net Technologies and Net Insight CO-Operate to offer end to end IP Network solutions

18 August, 2000

Demonstrates commitment to the growth of IP as the ubiquitous solution for both the Access and the Core network
Net to Net Technologies and Net Insight have entered into a joint marketing and co-operative development agreement to promote and enhance the simplicity and cost effectiveness of IP end to end solutions, capable of carrying real time demanding services like streaming video and digital tv.

IP is becoming ubiquitous in the network today, it offers enormous benefits to telecoms and datacoms network providers in terms of simplicity, ease of operation and cost of deployment. This agreement between Net to Net Technologies and Net Insight represents a response to this market trend.

"ATM lost the race for the desktop in corporate networks because it was complex and expensive to install compared to Ethernet IP based solutions, we expect it to lose the race for the access market for the same reasons" says Lesley Hansen Director of European Marketing with Net to Net Technologies. " The industry experts are convinced IP will eventually be fully deployed as an end to end solution with as much Quality of Service (QoS) as ATM has ever been able to deliver. Consumers need ease of use and low cost with a wide geographical connectivity. Ethernet IP based Internet access on a reliable and dependable core network can deliver this."

IP DSL in the access offers a simple to maintain and deploy solution speeding up the deployment of DSL internet access and moving service providers towards profitable internet solutions. The network should be a utility for the service provider, easy to use, easy to deploy, simple to maintain, then the provider can concentrate on the value added services that are going to create the competitive advantage, ATM does not provide this. The same argument applies in the core network. That is the main reason why interest in DTM circuit switching technology is increasing with such remarkable speed. DTM networks are capable of carrying IP, traditional telephony and video with 100% guaranteed throughput and consistent delay, ready for realtime services.

"Our two companies solutions strongly complement one another enhancing both parties strength and thereby creating a optimized IP platform in a simple and cost efficient manner," said Bengt Olsson of Net Insight, We have a common customer base with Net to Net Technologies and this agreement provides us with a new complete core- and xDSL-solution to demonstrate to our customers and to provide a proof point for IP end to end solution"

Net to Net Technologies will be launching a 6 city series of European Seminars in the September/October timeframe to present their end to end IP solutions, Net Insight will be cosponsoring some od these events. For further details of these seminars contact  lhansen@nettonettech.com.

About Net to Net Technologies
Net to Net Technologies was founded in 1998, with global headquarters in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, USA and the European headquarters in Newbury, Berkshire, UK. Net to Net´s ´IPacket´ packet technology is attractive for the following reasons: the product simplicity reduces hardware costs, also reducing soft dollar costs by minimizing the need for training, maintenance or highly specialized troubleshooting skills that are required by traditional ATM based first generation technology in operation today.
In providing Ethernet packet-based DSL solutions, Net to Net greatly diminishes both local loop and backhaul costs by eliminating the need for an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) or a Frame Relay backbone network. Check our Website at www.nettonettech.com
