www.tecore.com - Tecore Networks, a leading provider of GSM, CDMA, 3G and multi-protocol mobile networks, today announced that it has supplied a number of global Tier 1 telecommunications carriers with mobile network lab systems in 2008. The carriers, which collectively serve over 150 million customers worldwide, selected Tecore systems on the basis of the company's patented

software-defined architecture which can model a complete network including core and radio access network segments in a compact form.

The world's largest carriers are often the first to prove in new standards-based technologies, and must anticipate and resolve issues before they affect the live network. They use lab systems to model communications that will be replicated across their worldwide networks billions of times, with enormous impact on customers and revenues, and therefore have exacting demands for the vendors who supply these systems. Tecore Networks won their confidence and their business through an unmatched combination of:

-- worldwide deployment expertise in GSM, CDMA, 3G and multi-protocol networks

-- a highly adaptable, software-defined networking platform

-- ability to deploy systems rapidly to meet urgent customer timelines; and

-- a full suite of professional services including commissioning, training and ongoing support.

"Tecore Networks has maintained a 17-year track record in advancing cellular technologies for a wide range of customers," said Casey Joseph, Chief Technology Officer, Tecore Networks. "Whether we are constructing a nationwide network to help a country rebuild after war, or we are supplying established global carriers, we have consistently delivered solutions for a wide range of stringent requirements because of our capabilities, experience and agility."
