    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

    China's Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications (MPT) Awards Zypcom Top Modem Rating

    Union City, California, -- Zypcom, Inc. announces that several of its V.34 (33600bps) modems were awarded the top rating by China's Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications. The Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications which is now called the Ministry of Information Industry (MII) conducted an exhaustive analysis of analog modems from over 40 manufacturers world wide for certification and recommendation on China's Public Data Communication Network. The Ministry then publishes the results of the study for distribution to all Postal Management buying offices in each province, district and city.

    The Ministry rated Zypcom's modems Z34-SX and Z34-RX number one in their networked managed category. Also the Zypcom V.90/V.34 standalone modem Z34-SC was rated number one in the non-network managed category.

    "We are very excited and proud that our V.34 modems have been acknowledged by the MPT's tests, to show superior throughput, signal-to-noise performance and features" said Karl Zorzi, President of Zypcom. "You know your efforts to provide high performance modems for industrial modem users are paying off when you out perform competitors like Hayes, 3-Com/USR, Paradyne, Motorola and Multi-Tech."
