Gensym and Ericsson Hewlett-Packard Telecommunications to Provide Intelligent Network Management at Canada's Largest Wireless Provider.CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 17, 1998--Gensym Corp. (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :GNSM) OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and partner Ericsson Hewlett-Packard Telecommunications (EHPT EHPT Ericsson Hewlett Packard Telecommunications ) has installed its Fault Management eXpert (FMX FMX Freestyle Motorcross FMX FM Transmitter FMX Full Mouth X-rays (dental) FMX Fleet Message Exchange FMX Frequency Modulation Extended-Range (transmission system) ) at Rogers Cantel, Canada's largest national wireless communications wireless communications System using radio-frequency, infrared, microwave, or other types of electromagnetic or acoustic waves in place of wires, cables, or fibre optics to transmit signals or data. service provider. Based on Gensym's G2 software for intelligent operations management Operations management is an area of business that is concerned with the production of goods and services, and involves the responsibility of ensuring that business operations are efficient and effective. , the FMX intelligent network product provides advanced solutions for the analysis of all network fault and performance data. The Rogers Cantel installation is the latest in EHPT's worldwide rollout of FMX, and one of 70 such Gensym-based systems deployed around the world. "FMX provides an integrated network A network that supports both data and voice and/or different networking protocols. See converged network and new public network. overview that facilitates extremely fast identification of any network fault," noted EHPT's vice president and general manager of OSS Oss (ôs), city (1994 pop. 62,141), North Brabant prov., S Netherlands; chartered 1399. It is a significant industrial center. Manufactures include meat products, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, electrical equipment, and metalware. , Stefan Elmstedt. "We believe Rogers Cantel will achieve significant operational benefits by further increasing the reliability of its network, and will be able to provide its customers with highly effective service," he added. Through the intelligent operations management capabilities of Gensym's G2, FMX enables operators with no programming expertise to capture the knowledge of network operations experts in the form of graphical models and user-defined rules. FMX uses these rules to perform alarm filtering In network management, the ability to pinpoint the device that has failed. If one device in a network fails, others may fail as a result and cause alarms. Without alarm filtering, the management console reports all deteriorating devices with equal attention. and correlation, eliminate alarm flooding, and quickly identify and correct faults. By enabling routine and tedious tasks to be automated, FMX frees operators to focus on the most important problems. It further empowers operators to detect problems sooner, solve them more quickly, and thereby improve service quality. "We are extremely pleased by EHPT's latest success with FMX at Rogers Cantel," said Lowell Hawkinson, Gensym chairman and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.

EHPT's Elmstedt, Gensym's strength lies in its intelligent, rule-based technology and powerful graphical object-oriented environment. "Using expert rules, models, and procedures, G2-based intelligent systems can continuously monitor operational data and multiple events, reason about this information in real time, and make it much more useful. Gensym's powerful correlation engine allows us to filter out sympathy alarms and to isolate the root cause of complex operational problems much more quickly than would otherwise be possible. This allows operators to maintain optimal conditions, to anticipate and quickly diagnose potential problems, and to obtain corrective advice," he noted.
