CUPERTINO, Calif. - June 20, 2000 - Mirapoint, Inc., a leading provider of Internet messaging infrastructure products, today announced that it has joined Lucent's Full Circle program, continuing its commitment to application service providers (ASPs). Full Circle is a strategic program that enables ASPs, application developers and systems integrators to join industry leaders in bringing next-generation services to market quickly and cost effectively using an open, programmable framework.

Mirapoint joins Sun, Compaq, HP and other industry leaders in using open Application Programming Interface (API) technology to facilitate integration with Lucent platforms. Using industry standards, ASPs, application developers and systems integrators will be able to introduce applications using Mirapoint's message routers, message servers and message switches in conjunction with Lucent's wireless data platforms.

"Mirapoint represents a great addition to the Full Circle program," said Mike Decelle, vice president of Lucent's Open Network Solutions. "Mirapoint's commitment to open, industry standards will be critical in getting next generation applications up and running quickly and efficiently."

"Mirapoint takes the complexity out of messaging for ASPs, application developers and systems integrators," said Larry Frank, Mirapoint's vice president of business development. "By joining Full Circle, we will be working with a community of solutions providers to make it easy for ASPs to deliver hosted messaging and messaging-enabled applications."

Mirapoint's Full Circle membership is the company's latest move in its focus on the ASP marketplace. Mirapoint's messaging servers and routers meet the requirements of ASPs including ease and speed of deployment, high performance, scalability and low total cost of ownership. Mirapoint solutions enable ASPs to offer a full range of hosted messaging options to their business customers.
