	TCSI Announces Completion of Software For the Japanese
	Personal Digital Cellular Standard

	Million Dollar Award to TCSI Fuels Development Effort

BERKELEY, Calif. - July 16, 1996 - TCSI Corporation (Nasdaq: TCSI), a 
global provider of software to the Telecom industry, announced today that 
it has successfully completed development and testing of software for the 
Japanese Personal Digital Cellular (PDC) standard's newest Revision C. This 
milestone is the result of a 1996 award of over $1 million from a major 
semiconductor company to sponsor TCSI's efforts in the PDC cellular 
software market. This includes the Company's development of a real-time 
operating system, a choice of compilers, fax and data support, and a TAPI 
user interface for the PDC standard.

The Japanese market, the second-largest cellular phone market in world, is 
expected to grow from 9 million to 30 million users by the year 2000. 
Revision C represents the newly enhanced standard for the growing Japanese 
digital cellular market. The revision provides for dual voice quality 
capabilities. The first, with 7.2 kilobits bandwidth, supports standard 
capacity and the second, with 3.5 kilobits bandwidth, provides almost twice 
the capacity for cellular carriers, while requiring no additional 
bandwidth.

"Our software for the updated PDC standard means twice the capacity to 
carriers, thus reducing their operating costs," stated Hatch Graham, senior 
vice president and general manager for TCSI.  "In addition, our new real-
time operating system is a first for manufacturers because it emulates what 
will actually happen in the field.  The operating system runs the software 
at the same rate at which the cellular phone will operate, making the 
manufacturing process easier and more efficient. This PDC software can be 
an essential ingredient for any manufacturer that wants to get cellular 
technology into Japan and be competitive in that market."

TCSI, a leader in signal processing and voice compression techniques for

available digital cellular phone in the United States. The advancements of 
TCSI in the Japanese market represent the Company's continued leadership in 
voice coding and compression technology on a global level.
