NSGDatacom Debuts Latest Evolution of Industry-Leading Optimization Router

Smaller, More Powerful Backhaul Optimization Router to Ensure Cost-Effective Bandwidth Use, Business Continuity

CHANTILLY, VA — February 20, 2007 — NSGDatacom, a provider of telecommunications solutions for carrier and enterprise applications, today announced the launch of its Netrix 2222 (Nx2222) backhaul optimization router. Designed as a fully featured telecom switching platform, the Nx2222 is an easily deployable, fully scalable solution that clients can customize to meet their exact requirements for aggregation and optimization of cellular and traditional voice backhaul circuits, including interoperability with VoIP and TDM to IP conversion applications.

“The Nx2222 is an extremely powerful product that provides high levels of compression without service degradation,” said Rich Yalen, CEO, NSGDatacom. “NSGDatacom has invested heavily in research and development of the optimization router, and our efforts have paid off with a platform that is a third of the size, has twice the capacity and sells at a lower price point than the previous generation of products.”

Technological advances in processors, chips, and operating systems have enabled NSGDatacom to create a more powerful, compact (1U high) and flexible product. As a result, the Nx2222 is ideally suited for central office needs, providing up to 2:1 compression on Abis/Ater cellular trunks and voice compression of 16:1 on PSTN trunks. The platform supports up to 18 T1/E1, 28 Analog voice, 8 Ethernet, 2 high speed serial and 2 Gig Ethernet ports. It has 2 I/O slots with front/rear card pairs that are both hot swappable as well as dual-redundant hot swappable power supply units. It supports both 110/250V AC or 48V DC power supplies that can be mixed in one unit.

“Carrier and satellite services companies stand to benefit greatly from Nx2222 functions, especially its disaster recovery and continuity of operations capabilities,” said Graham King, president and chairman, NSGDatacom. “These companies are often scrambling to ensure business continuity in the event of a circuit failure. The Nx2222 offers a cost-effective solution capable of detecting a T1/E1 failure and automatically re-routing traffic to a designated backup link over an IP connection, and is optimized for operation over satellite, wireless or terrestrial networks.”

The Nx2222 is part of the industry-leading Nx2200 family of voice and data gateway products that have provided reliable communications for critical carrier and military voice and data services for more than a decade. Current customers that rely on the Nx2200 product family include the U.S. military, satellite providers, major airports as well as other enterprise, carrier, and government organizations.

NSGDatacom partners will beta test the Nx2222 by mid-year, after which the company will commercialize and ship the data access gateway to customers by the fourth quarter of 2007. NSGDatacom will unveil the Nx2222 at Satellite 2007 in Washington, D.C. (Hall D/E, Booth 557)
