Ra’anana, Israel – February 19, 2004 – TraceSpan™ Communications, a provider of broadband monitoring solutions, announced today that it has established strategic partnerships with leading distributors of telecom testing and measurement equipment in Europe and the Far East. The distribution partners are responsible for local sales and first-line support of the DSL Xpert™ product family, the industry’s first non-intrusive performance-analysis solutions for ADSL and ADSL2 products.

To date, TraceSpan has reached distribution agreements with the following companies:

• Chelton Telecom & Microwave – France
• DELO Instruments – Italy
• Heynen – Benelux (Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg)
• Sematron – United Kingdom
• GSI (Great Science Industrial Co) – Taiwan

“DSL Xpert™ is a great addition to our portfolio of test and measurement equipment, and we are excited to offer this state-of-the-art product to our customers throughout Benelux,” said Rolf Heijnen, CEO of Heynen B.V.. “Working together with TraceSpan, we can provide the optimal solution for addressing the proven market need of ADSL performance analysis and interoperability verification.”

DSL Xpert™ is an easy-to-use modular tool designed for R&D and laboratory engineers engaged in the deployment of ADSL/ADSL2 standard-compliant solutions. The innovative DSL Xpert™ analyzer verifies the interoperability of ADSL products offered by different vendors, and compares the performance of any combination of CO (central office) and customer-side modems. DSL Xpert™ is a powerful solution for service providers, current and next-generation ADSL equipment manufacturers, and technology/chipset developers. DSL Xpert™ accelerates time to market and return on investment by cutting significant time from the development, deployment, debugging, support and interoperability verification of ADSL equipment.

“We are very pleased to be partnering with leading distributors in Europe and the Far East,” said Dr. Hanan Herzberg, TraceSpan founder and CEO. “We are confident that these strategic partnerships will become long-term relationships benefiting our growing customer base of service providers, ADSL equipment manufacturers, and technology developers.”
