Martin brings to TII strong management experience and industry knowledge. His 17-year career as a cable, Telco, and satellite industry executive will significantly strengthen our Company's management team."

Roach added that "TII's Global Technology Group will capitalize on the explosive growth in Triple-Play services -- digital telephone, broadband data, and video over broadband. GTG will work closely with our parent company's engineering, marketing and sales groups to develop leading edge systems and products that position TII and our new division in a leadership role in the emerging broadband services markets."

Pucher said, "I am excited to join TII, a proven technology company in the Telco, cable and satellite industries. I am pleased to announce that GTG will launch its first product, the OutRigger(TM), an outside-the-home media access portal, at the GLOBALCOMM(TM) 2006 show at Booth 63034 at McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois.

Pucher continued, "GTG has put together a strong team committed to launching the division and its products, while benefiting from the expertise and strength of its parent company. We see tremendous growth opportunities as residential demand for digital services continues to grow and service providers face increasing demand and deployment challenges. Our goal is to support 'content anywhere, anytime' applications as it becomes more mainstream."

"GTG is part of our long-term strategic objective to diversify and expand our products and customer base," said Roach. "By positioning GTG as broadband network specialists, we can leverage TII's extensive experience, continue to make investments in new technologies, and expand into areas offering significant new growth."
