     LEADING TELECOM SOFTWARE COMPANY ADDS NEW LEVEL OF AUTOMATION TO
                        BROADBAND PRODUCT PORTFOLIO
                                     
ALAMEDA, CALIFORNIA - October 15, 1997 - TCSI Corporation (Nasdaq: TCSI), a
global provider of software to the telecom industry today announced that it
will  market  the world's first fully automated, flow-through  provisioning
system for the management of broadband networks.

TCSI  will  utilize  this  software  as the  flagship  product  within  its
Broadband  SolutionSuite, a portfolio of application modules  and  products
that enable telecom service providers to realize the benefits of integrated
service  management in their broadband networks, including automated  flow-
through  service  activation, reduced operational costs,  improved  service
quality, and significantly reduced time-to-market.

"This  technology, combined with SolutionCore TM, TCSI's advanced  development
environment  for  telecom management systems, will allow our  customers  to
manage an end-to-end, multi-vendor broadband network that can significantly
speed  the  time-to-market to deploy new services," said Ram Banin,  TCSI's
president  and  chief  executive officer. "This  development  represents  a
significant  milestone in TCSI's overall product development  plan.  TCSI's
goal  is  to  offer  our  customers complete telecom  solutions  through  a
comprehensive product offering of frameworks and turnkey systems, built  on
a  robust  foundation to meet today's telecom industry  needs  and  rapidly
scale  to  meet  future  demands. We are particularly  excited  about  this
development,  as it enables TCSI to deliver market proven  solutions  at  a
lower cost to emerging carriers, as well as to larger, established carriers
worldwide."

The SONET network management system is designed to improve customer service
by  provisioning services more rapidly and to make the repair process  much
quicker.  TCSI  can modify and license the code developed for  this  system
directly  to telecom operators or through other channels, such as equipment
manufacturers  or  systems integrators. This will  enable  the  Company  to
expand  its  marketing reach to new regions, as well as  to  other  service
providers that previously sought more complete solutions at a lower cost.
