	TCSI ANNOUNCES SOLUTIONSUITESTM-THE INDUSTRY'S FIRST COMPREHENSIVE SET OF 
	FIELD-PROVEN, STANDARDS-BASED, TELECOM MANAGEMENT APPLICATIONS

	FIRST APPLICATION IN FAMILY IS BROADBAND SOLUTIONSUITE -- LOWERING COSTS 
 AND TECHNOLOGY BARRIERS ASSOCIATED WITH RAPIDLY INTRODUCING SERVICES

ALAMEDA, California - February 18, 1997 - TCSI Corporation (Nasdaq: TCSI), 
a global provider of software to the telecom industry, today announced its 
new SolutionSuitesTM product family.  The new product family is a suite of 
software products and services that combine TCSI's application software, 
tools, and expertise to integrate and automate a range of telecom industry 
processes.  SolutionSuites are designed to enable customers to more 
effectively manage and more rapidly deploy new service offerings in the 
Broadband, Intelligent Network, and Digital Cellular areas.  The first 
SolutionSuite product, the Broadband SolutionSuite, is currently in beta 
testing with a US Regional Bell Operating Company, and is expected to be 
generally available in 1997.

The SolutionSuites product family is modeled after the Network Management 
Forum's Integrated Service Management approach, which emphasizes 
interoperability between management systems to increase the  efficiency and 
competitiveness of service providers.  SolutionSuites are built with TCSI's 
enabling technology, SolutionCore, object-oriented software that 
incorporates key industry standards such as Telecommunications Management 
Network (TMN) and CORBA.  By leveraging SolutionCore, SolutionSuites also 
inherit  high performance, scalability and sophisticated interoperability 
characteristics. 

"SolutionSuites are designed for today's highly competitive telecom market 
where service providers are looking to rapidly deploy new telecom services 
and cut operating costs.  This is the industry's first set of integrated, 
standards-based, plug-and-play applications designed to dramatically reduce 
the time and costs associated with developing new network and service 
management systems," said Ram Banin, president and chief operating officer 
of TCSI. "We are confident that this approach of simplifying network 
management development will enable our customers -- including some of the 
largest telecommunications companies in the world -- to improve service 
management and compete more effectively."

 "The rapid growth in Broadband networking combined with TCSI's existing 
expertise should provide a significant market opportunity for TCSI to 
deliver the Broadband SolutionSuite,"  said Keith Willetts, senior vice 
president of TCSI Corporation.  "To further capitalize on new market 
opportunities, we expect to announce companion SolutionSuite products for 
Intelligent Networks and Digital Cellular Networks (GSM and PCS) later this 
year."

<Note for editors.>

The first of the SolutionSuites to be introduced is the Broadband 
SolutionSuite.  It enables service providers to achieve the highest levels 
of service and performance in their SONET or SDH-based broadband networks 
by implementing an integrated management platform to observe and control an 
entire multi-domain broadband network.  The Broadband SolutionSuite is 
comprised of application modules which include Inter-Domain Management, 
Domain Management, and Element Management applications.   These modules 
support broadband domains including SONET, SDH, Digital Crossconnect 
Systems (DCS), and Next Generation Digital Loop Carriers (NGDLC).  

Following are the specific features and benefits associated with TCSI's 
Broadband SolutionSuite Modules:

* Supports in excess of 50,000 network elements and up to 1,000 users;

* Enables management functions, such as  network element backup, to 
	 operate uniformly across all technologies and network element types;

* Supports both basic broadband network architectures such as inter-
 	connected chains and rings, and complex broadband architectures 
	 including overlay rings and dual-ring interworking.

* Reduces hardware and training costs and provides more control over 
 	network resources through the use of a common platform;

* Facilitates the creation of telecom services in minutes instead of 
  weeks or months through real-time activation of high-value services;

* Provides an interface to legacy provisioning and workflow systems, 
 	enabling automated flow-through service activation and reducing time 
  to activate orders;

* Maximizes accuracy of the network element database through auto-
 	discovery and database audit features;

* Provides physical monitoring and control of a network domain's 
 	configuration, fault, performance and security management;

* Supports TMN and CORBA standards within a multi-layered network to 
 	enable the unbundling of systems and services, and provide for easy 
 	expansion and growth;

* Features very high reliability, availability and security that is 
  based on successful, field-proven applications; and

* Accompanied by a comprehensive suite of business services including 
 	customized design and development, installation, training, and 
	 maintenance services.
