AdventNet TL1 Solutions Enable OSS Integration In Large Telcos

Pleasanton, California, September 18, 2002

AdventNet, Inc., the leading provider of carrier class EMS/NMS platforms and network management tools, announced successful deployment of its TL1 solutions in multiple large Telco's, including leading RBOCs and IXCs. TL1, or Transaction Language 1, is a widely used protocol in the telecommunications industry for management of network equipment, and interfacing to Operations Support Systems (OSS). AdventNet provides solutions for Telecom equipment providers to easily integrate their products with carrier OSS systems. In certain cases, Carrier customers have directly used AdventNet TL1 solutions to integrate a wide range of network elements into their management solution.

Many AdventNet TL1 customers have successfully undergone Telcordia's OSMINE certification and integrated into the RBOC management infrastructure. Leading AdventNet customers, including Lucent Technologies and Sonus Networks, and carriers such as Sprint, have completed successful deployments using AdventNet TL1 solutions.

AdventNet provides end-to-end TL1 support with a rich portfolio of products including EMS/NMS platforms, mediation server, management APIs and embedded agents to facilitate easy integration of Network Elements (NEs) and management systems into carrier infrastructures. For Telecom equipment that needs to support TL1 natively, AdventNet offers a choice of embedded agent toolkits that enable rapid implementation of TL1 support on the device.

"Innovative technology and strong business fundamentals make AdventNet the best choice for carrier-grade TL1 solutions in today's marketplace", said Sridhar Vembu, CEO of AdventNet. With AdventNet's policy of 'try before you buy', the fully functional AdventNet TL1 products are now available for download at www.manageengine.com and are backed by the industry's best support infrastructure.

AdventNet also announced today the launch of www.tl1guru.com, a centralized website with a rich source of information on TL1.
