CopperCom -- Leading a Broadband Revolution at SUPERCOMM.

SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 4, 1999--

CopperCom(TM), a Silicon Valley company that is Giving Voice to DSL(TM) will demonstrate the broadband revolution in the local loop at SUPERCOMM next week with a revolutionary approach to trade shows.

CopperComplete DSL, CopperCom's new Voice over DSL technology, expands the local loop from the delivery of one single phone line, into a broadband local loop that delivers 16 phone lines, plus high-speed data, simultaneously, over a single copper pair. (Watch for related releases next week for product and partner details.)

Instead of standing on tired feet at yet another kiosk with flashing screens and annoying actors who don't understand a single word of what they are saying, show attendees can experience CopperCom's revolutionary technology while relaxing in Sharper Image massage chairs in CopperCom's booth No. 253.

Attendees can make free phone calls from copper-colored phones in CopperCom's booth, as well as partner booths, that are connected to CopperComplete DSL and then linked to the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network). Look for the "CopperCom Phones" around SUPERCOMM to hear the sound of True Telephony(TM), and experience the local loop revolution.
