FREMONT, Calif., February 23, 1999 -Nitsuko America Corporation,
a worldwide manufacturer and distributor of telecommunications systems, and AltiGen
Communications, Inc., a leading provider of computer telephony (CT) solutions, today
announced a Nitsuko-specific version of AltiGen's popular AltiServ system named the
Nitsuko Communication Server (NCS). The new NCS will be distributed through
Nitsuko's network of more than 300 dealers located throughout the US and Canada.

"We are delighted with
Nitsuko America's decision to use AltiGen platform products as the basis for their new NCS system," said Michele Shannon, vice president of sales for AltiGen.
"Our open architecture enables them to leverage powerful functionality that consistently wins
in the marketplace and also add features that are important to their customers.
Ongoing work in the U.S. and Japan to continually incorporate new features and
technologies will further strengthen Nitsuko America's enviable growth record and move
them to a leadership position in the small business CTI arena."

"Time-to-market is a key factor in the development of competitive products. Because of this, it is much more
effective and often times critical to form strategic development projects with companies
such as AltiGen that have solid technology and an established market leadership
position," said Al Kelley, vice president of sales for Nitsuko America.
"AltiGen is the clear leader in the rapidly growing telecom server market. This
relationship allows us to build on AltiGen's already proven technology while providing
uniqueness to meet the needs of our Dealer Channel through TAPI-based applications, VoIP
and leveraging our advanced research and development work."

NCS Delivers The Goods for Users In The Office or On The Road
|
|
NCS integrates call processing, voice messaging functions and the internet to provide features like Callback and Call Out
from Voice Mail. Callback enables voice mail users to have the system automatically
place calls to people that left messages, and then return back to voice mail once each
call is completed. Call Out from Voice Mail allows traveling workers to save time and
money by placing outbound calls while checking messages from the road, then return back
to voice mail--all within a single phone call. Traveling and remote employees can also use a simple browser-based
Internet interface to change and update their extension configuration from the road. NCS
offers flexible and powerful "follow-me" features for telecommuters and mobile
workers and also supports an IP Telephony tie-line option by using AltiGen's Triton board
and OEM version of AltiWare IP.
