Pliant Systems Declared WSTA Innovations 2000 Winner RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., Jul 20, 2000 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Pliant Systems Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: PLNS) announced today that the Wisconsin State Telecommunications Association named Pliant Systems the Innovations 2000 winner at the WSTA convention held in May. The company won the voting with its Pliant 3000(TM) Integrated Access Platform. The Innovations 2000 award recognizes products that provide new and innovative services to telecommunications carriers. Companies that are introducing new products in 2000 are eligible for the award. This year`s new products ranged from interface cards that provide new services to access systems such as the Pliant 3000. WSTA members from the more than 80 local telephone companies in Wisconsin participated in the voting. "The selection by the WSTA is important because the member companies represent a large segment of the market the Pliant 3000 Integrated Access Platform was designed to serve," said Craig Swinn, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Pliant Systems. "The integrated ATM/TDM platform, with its distributed deployment options providing traditional telephone as well as emerging broadband services, ideally fits the diverse network topologies of the suburban/rural local exchange carrier market." The Pliant 3000 integrates voice, data and video services onto a single distributed access platform, reducing equipment, management and operations costs. It is designed to combine ATM and TDM switching with copper and fiber transport to deliver telephony and high bandwidth services. The Pliant 3000 can be deployed as a next generation digital loop carrier, a distributed DSLAM, a multi-service access node or a single integrated access platform in a convergent network. The WSTA is a Madison-based trade organization representing all 83 local telephone companies, 57 of the state`s Internet service providers (ISPs), and six of the state`s wireless carriers. Since 1910, the WSTA has served as a unified voice for its members in matters of interest to legislators, regulators and the public. Interacting within its nationwide network of telecommunications experts, WSTA serves as a clearinghouse for pertinent and accurate information for its members. Pliant Systems Inc. designs, manufactures and markets integrated multi-service access platforms for the telecommunications industry. The company provides competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs) and incumbent local exchange carriers (ILECs) with integrated access systems capable of delivering voice, data and video services over diverse network topologies. The company`s primary product, the Pliant 3000 Integrated Access Platform, is designed to relieve the strain on digital loop carrier systems caused by the Internet explosion, utilizing a distributed architecture to deliver traditional telephony and emerging high-bandwidth services deep into the access network.
