 Enhancement of Titan Family and New Contract in Uruguay

BATM  is  pleased  to announce that it has  enhanced  the
functionality  of  its  Titan T4 and  T5  switches  using
software  originally intended only for the T6.   The  new
software  allows telecom operators ('telcos')  to  deploy
these switches to provide their customers IP channels  of
varying bandwidth depending upon the tariff they agree to
pay.   These  features  of  bandwidth  provisioning   and
dynamic  bandwidth  allocation are in  increasing  demand
from telcos' customers.

BATM  is  also pleased to announce that it  has  won  its
first significant contract from a telco in Latin America.
The  contract, with an initial value of $850,000,  is  to
provide  a  telco  in Uruguay with T4 routing  (layer  3)
switches  offering  variable  bandwidth.   Shipment  will
begin  in  2000,  with the majority being  supplied  next
year.   The  equipment  will  be  used  to  provide   the
switching  for a broadband microwave distribution  system
(LMDS) in Montevideo providing fast voice/data lines  for
businesses  and SOHOs.  This contract is also  noteworthy
as  being the first time BATM's switches are to  be  used
for a fixed radio system.

Dr  Zvi  Marom,  Chief Executive of BATM, said:  'We  are
delighted  to  be extending our reach both geographically
and  in  capability.  The Uruguay contract builds on  our
recent  success in adapting the Titan family as  switches
for  mobile  IP systems.  It is also encouraging  to  see
such  early  take-up of the new Titan functionality.   We
believe  that our product line will prove attractive  for
other  service  providers  using  wireless  transmission,
particularly LMDS.'
