                     NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENTS

BATM  Advanced  Communications Limited ('BATM' or the  'Company'),
the  Israeli  high  technology networking company  is  pleased  to
announce  that  it  will unveil a number of  new  developments  at
CeBIT,  Hanover  on 24th February 2000.  These include  a  working
demonstration of its photonic switching technology and the  launch
of a new product, the Titan T5 QS.

Photonic Switching

In  conjunction with its partner, Lynx Photonics, BATM intends  to
demonstrate  a  working prototype 8x8 photonic  switch  at  CeBIT,
connected   to  and  switching  a  live  communications   network.
Progress  in  this area encourages us to believe  that  the  first
version  of  the Titan T8 will be offered earlier than  previously
anticipated.

Load Balancing / Quality of Service Products

The  Titan T5 QS is a hybrid product developed in response to  the
urgent  requests  from  major telecom customers  for  an  advanced
routing  switch  in advance of the launch of the  Titan  T6.   The
product  is  based  on  the Titan T5 platform,  but  offering  the
advanced load management and quality of service features which  we
have  developed for the T6.  Combining these advanced capabilities
into  our  fastest current product enables us to offer an advanced
self-routing  switch delivering a multitude of features  including
packet connections over SONET/SDH and VDSL.

The  advanced features include Enhanced Load Balancing  (ELB)  and
quality  of  service  management.  The ELB  facility  enables  the
switch  to distinguish between the nature of the traffic -  voice,
video or data.  Having classified the traffic, it is then able  to
optimize its delivery by taking into account its characteristics.

The  Titan  T5 QS will begin to ship in March 2000 with production
geared up by the end of June 2000.  Again, in response to customer
requests,  the Company is also planning to offer a product  family
called  the  'Spartan'  offering ELB  capability  to  third  party
networking product companies on a similar timescale.
