Science Dynamics and AdvancedTech Communications Inc. Sign Reseller Agreement.CHERRY HILL Cherry Hill, township (1990 pop. 69,319), Camden co., W central N.J.; name was changed from Delaware township to Cherry Hill in 1961. Largely residential, Cherry Hill has been marked by great development and housing growth, especially since the 1970s. , N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 2, 1998--Science Dynamics Corp. (Nasdaq:SIDY), a leading developer and supplier of advanced telecommunications products and applications, and AdvancedTech Communications Inc., a leading satellite and LAN/WAN LAN/WAN Local Area Network/Wide Area Network systems integrator based in San Diego San Diego (săn dēā`gō), city (1990 pop. 1,110,549), seat of San Diego co., S Calif., on San Diego Bay; inc. 1850. San Diego includes the unincorporated communities of La Jolla and Spring Valley. Coronado is across the bay. , Tuesday announced that they have signed a reseller agreement representing a range of applications and telephony products used in data transmission. Under the terms of the agreement, Science Dynamics will provide a minimum of $472,000 of products and components for AdvancedTech's ACI-250SA Video Frame Relay Access Device (communications) Frame Relay Access Device - (FRAD) Hardware and software that turns packets from TCP, SNA, IPX, etc into frames that can be sent over a Frame Relay wide area network. (FRAD (Frame Relay Access Device or Frame Relay Assembler Disassembler) A communications device that formats outgoing data into the format required by a frame relay network. It strips the data back out at the other end. ) unit, an easy-to-control standalone FRAD product. The ACI-250S is designed to allow videoconferencing over existing frame relay A high-speed packet switching protocol used in wide area networks (WANs). Providing a granular service of up to DS3 speed (45 Mbps), it has become popular for LAN to LAN connections across remote distances, and services are offered by most major carriers. or HDLC (High-level Data Link Control) A data link protocol from ISO for point-to-point communications over serial links. Derived from IBM's SDLC protocol, HDLC has been the basis for numerous protocols including X.25, ISDN, T1, SS7, GSM, CDPD, PPP and others. networks, enabling service providers and corporate customers to transmit voice, data and video over frame relay. Interoperability tests with a number of frame relay and video Codec (1) A hardware circuit that converts analog video (NTSC, PAL, SECAM) into digital code and vice versa. The term may refer to only the A/D and D/A conversion, or it may include the compression technique for further reducing the signal (definition #2 below). See codec. systems, currently on the market, have been performed to ensure seamless implementation of the ACI-250SA. AdvancedTech plans to aggressively market the ACI-250SA throughout Latin America Latin America, the Spanish-speaking, Portuguese-speaking, and French-speaking countries (except Canada) of North America, South America, Central America, and the West Indies. and Asia. "As a systems integrator, the ability to add boardroom conferencing to our customers' existing frame relay networks gives us a competitive advantage," said Thom Smith, telecommunications manager for AdvancedTech Communications. "More importantly, the system's characteristics will allow us to offer a simple-to-configure and reliable solution while maintaining video quality." "We are extremely pleased that AdvancedTech Communications has agreed to become a reseller of our products in Latin America and Asia," said Alan Bashforth, Science Dynamics president. "Traditionally, these have been extremely strong markets for frame relay networks, and we believe that service providers and corporate users will be receptive to upgrading their existing systems to provide videoconferencing over frame relay." The AdvancedTech Communications Team has worked with, and for, most of the leading technology, product and system suppliers, providing network solutions for customers around the world in industries and government such as broadcasting, banking and telecommunications services with complete voice, data and video communications systems. The majority of AdvancedTech Communications' projects are concentrated in Southeast Asia and South America. The challenge is to provide a high-quality system in a location in which most other firms find it too difficult to install. AdvancedTech Communications focuses on design and systems integration of satellite and wide-area networks by working with its customers to develop a clear understanding of the business objectives of their planned networks. Once the business requirements to the network are known, the best system architecture can be defined and the proper system design can be performed. The objective at AdvancedTech is to provide quality and consistency of products and systems, tailoring the design of the system not only to exceed the specifications, but also to make the network a critical part of a company's success. AdvancedTech Communications also has a thorough understanding of international technical standards.

Science Dynamics, with headquarters in Cherry Hill, is a developer of an array of telecommunications solutions. Products include the Commander Inmate Control phone system (based on the Integrator 2300 platform), including an NT software release; frame relay products such as the VFX VFX Visual Effects VFX Visual Fixation VFX Virtual Effects 250C and VFX250S designed to interface with existing FRADs (frame-relay access devices); and videoconferencing Codec systems and voice-over Internet protocol (VoIP) products. Currently in development are new software modules for the Integrator platform. These include a speech recognition module and an alarm processor. The VoIP development is progressing, with field trials in progress. Additional projects include a new release of the CIMS CIMS Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences (New York University) CIMS Center for Integrated Manufacturing Studies (Rochester Institute of Technology) CIMS Chemical Ionization Mass Spectrometry (Centralized Intercept Management System). CIMS was developed several years ago under MS-DOS MS-DOS in full Microsoft Disk Operating System Operating system for personal computers. MS-DOS was based on DOS, developed in 1980 by Seattle Computer Products. Microsoft Corp. bought the rights to DOS in 1981, and released MS-DOS with IBM's PC that year. as a replacement for the CIDBAS CIDBAS Central Intercept Database Administration System product sold in the 1980s. The new release, called CIMS II, will be a Windows NT product based on the Integrator platform technology. The VFX250 products are undergoing enhancements that will provide greater flexibility and configuration options. -0- Except for the historical information contained herein, this news release contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including the impact of the competitive products and pricing and general economic conditions as they affect the company's customers.
