CANTV Honors AFC With 'Best in Class' Award PETALUMA, Calif., Aug.
9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AFC(R) (NASDAQ:AFCI), The Acronym for
Access(SM), today announced that CANTV, Venezuela's largest
telecommunications company, has recognized AFC with a "Best in
Class" award for its market-leading access solutions. With this
award, AFC holds the honor of being the most recognized supplier to
the CANTV organization for access solutions. In conjunction with
AFC's Venezuelan representative, IEM Engineering, AFC provides a
full suite of access solutions to CANTV for the delivery of voice
and high-speed data services. This award marks the fourth
consecutive time that CANTV has publicly recognized the benefits of
AFC's solutions and the services provided by IEM Engineering, a key
associate of AFC's in the Central America/Latin America (CALA)
region. "AFC is delighted and honored to be recognized for this top
award from such a leader in the telecommunications industry. Our
continued mission is to provide the highest quality
telecommunications solutions to CANTV in Venezuela," said Jack
Ermey, vice president of global sales for AFC. "Both AFC and our
local partner, IEM, are extremely proud of the recognition by CANTV
for four consecutive years as a significant supplier." AFC began
working with CANTV in 1997 by providing its AccessMAX(TM) family of
next-generation digital loop carriers. As the needs of CANTV
changed and AFC's NGDLC platforms evolved to integrated
multiservice access platforms (IMAPs) to meet the growing need for
broadband, AFC continuously answered the call. Today, in fact,
AFC's comprehensive AccessMAX portfolio provides CANTV with V5.2
IMAPs, including integrated voice gateways and ADSL 6+6H (ADSL +
POTS) line cards, as well as outside plant cabinets, and network
management systems. "AFC's industry-leading solutions meet CANTV's
growing demand for broadband access applications," added Ermey,
"while providing them with an easy, cost-effective migration path
to H.248 packetized voice gateways and fiber-to-the-premises
solutions." AFC and IEM Awards History with CANTV: * 2000: Special
Award for Digital Loop Carrier Products * 2001: Best in Class /
Access Products, and Best of the Best (Supplier of the Year) *
2002: Nomination / Access Products * 2003: Best in Class / Access
Products About CANTV Headquartered in Caracas, CANTV was privatized

Venezuela. Integration with CANTV's subsidiaries, Movilnet, CANTV
Servicios and Caveguias, has made CANTV the telecommunications
leader, offering its customers seamless solutions in wireline and
