AVIRNEX(TM) automates international long distance telecommunications services with AVIRNEX(TM) TeleSystem(C) software, establishing a "paperless" management system utilizing the "International Information Superhighway".

LARKSPUR, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 22, 1994--AVIRNEX(TM) Communications Group announced release of its AVIRNEX(TM) TeleSystem(C) software program providing international long distance telecommunications and management services primarily to small and medium-sized businesses.

AVIRNEX's Windows based multi-tasking database system supports several languages. The pricing structure allows end users to obtain services at rates lower than those charged by foreign Postal Telephone and Telegraph (PT&T's) and major carriers such as AT&T, British Telcom, MCI and Sprint.

Utilizing intelligent switching equipment, AVIRNEX will furnish international and domestic telecommunication products for international business customers. These products and services are provided through a local independent AVIRNEX distributor.

AVIRNEX, A VIRtual Network EXchange(TM), is setting up networks of Distributors around the world to service customers in their prospective country or market area. By providing voice and data telecommunication products automated by proprietary AVIRNEX TeleSystem software, order entry, provisioning and customer maintenance is provided at the Distributor's location closest to the customer and not some far away customer support center.

AVIRNEX TeleSystem software utilizes the much touted "International Information Highway" providing a secure network for processing services and communicating with AVIRNEX and its Distributors several times daily. Customer orders and maintenance are handled within minutes rather than weeks with daily evidence of that activity.

"We are entering a global marketplace fueled by the demand for low cost and available telecommunications services," stated Ron Hooper, president and chief executive officer of AVIRNEX. "These products are better serviced at the local level through Distributors similar to industries like insurance, office supplies, real estate and business equipment. Telecommunication services are changing so rapidly that single source companies no longer provide the most contemporary, unbiased solutions to the small and medium-sized business customer."

AVIRNEX Communications Group currently has distributors in Asia, Australia, Europe, North, Central and South America. By private and generic labeling of its telecommunications products and software, AVIRNEX is recruiting the most professional and effective telecommunications agencies worldwide.
