Adding Value to the ISP; Andrew Offers Complete Messaging Solutions.

ORLAND PARK, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 12, 1997--A new package of services has been launched to complement and enhance Internet Service Provider (ISP) offerings.

The services, announced today by Andrew Corp., allow ISPs to offer complete messaging solutions to their subscribers.

By using the new electronic messaging services companies can exchange business correspondence safely and reliably between sites or with customers and partners.

"Most of our business customers are connecting to the Internet to obtain convenient e-mail service," said Allan Angen, president of Vector, a leading Minnesota ISP. "The Andrew services for ISPs provide that convenience in a way that has never before been available through standard Internet mail."

The service package includes: notification of new e-mail via phone or pager; retrieval and reply by phone, fax, pager, and Web browser; a personal fax service allowing faxes to follow wherever the client travels; the secure and reliable transportation of e-mail messages over the Internet; and virtual private networking -- integrating e-mail systems, including translation and synchronization of directories, within a single enterprise, between multiple smaller remote offices, or between business partners.

"ISPs are frequently the primary providers of data communications to many enterprises," said Adolfo Suarez, president and CEO of Andrew Global Messaging Services, a Minneapolis-based division of Andrew Corp. "As this trend grows it is important that ISPs provide additional value to their customers. The value added services announced today will enable ISPs to offer flexible and inexpensive messaging solutions to their subscribers."

Benefits of the new service package include the ability for remote or mobile workers to simplify their message access for e-mail, voice, pager, and fax. Message notification is proactive; for example, users can elect to have important messages sent immediately by pager or telephone, rather than leaving them in e-mail until they can be conveniently retrieved.

"There is growing concern among ISPs regarding price wars and churning," said Tim Sloan, director of messaging, Aberdeen Group. "The Andrew package of services improves the chances of certain ISPs to retain and grow their business customer base. This is an excellent example of a win-win situation for both Andrew and its partner ISPs."
