CoSine to introduce IP Service Delivery Platform in India

NEW DELHI: CoSine Communications Inc., developer of managed, network-based IP

Service Delivery Platforms for service providers, has announced its entry into

the Indian market, where it will offer the only true network-based IP Service

Delivery Platform in the

country.

CoSine will also introduce in India its IPSX Service Processing Switch, IPSG

Service Generator, InVision and InGage Network Management Systems. These

systems' unique architecture provides unprecedented processing capabilities

designed to match the capacity of service providers' edge transport build outs,

and allows them to bundle network-based, value-added services seamlessly with

their high-speed access services. This highly integrated platform can

dramatically reduce

time to market of new services for service providers and reduce operational

costs.

As part of its South Asia expansion, CoSine is already in touch with target

Indian service providers and will begin to extend its presence through various

local strategic partnerships.

CoSine's general manager for ASEAN region Chris Casey, will present the

different classes of IP services available and the new breed of IP services

expected to hit the market at Supercomm Asia 2002, which is one of Asia's

biggest events for communications and Information Technology (IT), and is being

held at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi, from February 20-22, 2002.

"Intense competition across the telecommunication industry has many

Service providers seeking the most efficient processing technology for

delivering network-based IP services," said Chris Casey. "With profit

margins reducing in basic Internet and IP transport service offerings, CoSine's

solutions will help service providers in India to offer new value-added services

for their subscribers to develop new revenue streams and increase profits."
