ADC Broadens Functionality of SG-1 Service Gateway with New Enhanced Services Capabilities

       EDS Technology Enables Service Providers to Offer Unique
   Application Awareness and Hierarchical Bandwidth Control Services

   ADC (NASDAQ:ADCTD, www.adc.com) today announced that its
next-generation SG-1 Service Gateway platform features a new Enhanced
Differentiated Services (EDS) capability that allows service providers
to cost-effectively expand their portfolios of broadband offerings to
improve their competitive position and increase revenues.
   The EDS technology, which enables the identification and
authentication of individual subscribers, provides a personalized
service profile to the customer dynamically and interactively that
supports two new features. The new SG-1 Application Awareness feature
allows service providers to allocate different resources for different
applications being used by various customers. This multi-service
approach allows the SG-1 to provide an individual service profile for
each customer with the service further defined according to the
application required. For example, VoIP and peer-to-peer traffic can
be assigned with a specific priority and bandwidth that can be billed
separately.
   In addition, the SG-1 offers a hierarchical bandwidth control with
a priority feature that enables the service provider to deliver
multiple grades of service dynamically on a priority basis according
to each customer's individual application and priority per session.
   "These enhanced services enable a service-oriented delivery
platform that provides quality, reliability, choice, and security, and
ultimately a streamlined user experience for the customer," said Mike
Pratt, president of ADC's Wireline and Wireless Business Units. "Now
these services can be billed to the customer with little or no impact
on existing network elements and with minimal investment for the
service provider."
   The SG-1 Service Gateway is designed for simple and
straightforward integration with a wide range of network elements and
topologies. With its drop-in architecture, the SG-1 takes
responsibility for service creation, service enforcement and dynamic
service management, independent of the access network elements being
used. The access network is responsible for access, transmission and
switching, while service management and provisioning are handled in
central or regional locations by the SG-1. This concept and topology
are similar to a voice intelligent network (IN), where signaling and
voice data transport are separate.
   The SG-1 next-generation platform provides improved scalability
and configuration flexibility, easy and economical service definition
and enforcement procedures, and reduced integration expenses.
Combined, these advantages deliver a faster time to profit with lower
up-front capital investment.
   The SG-1 Service Gateway is part of ADC's comprehensive portfolio
