Operating Groups Overview

Telecommunications Group
Innovative high performance solutions for manufacturers of communications equipment and operators of communication networks.
Electronic Components Group
High specification power systems, displays and switches for telecommunication and civil and military aerospace applications.
Corporate Overview
Microtel International Inc. is organized into two operational groups, telecommunications and electronic components. The telecommunications group, consisting of CXR Telcom Corporation and CXR S.A., provides telecommunications testing, transmission, and network access equipment for the telecommunications industry. The electronics components group, comprised of XET Corporation and its international subsidiaries, provides electronic components for industrial, and commercial and military aerospace markets.
CXR Telcom Corporation, the group's US-based telecommunications test instrument subsidiary, designs, manufactures and markets telecommunications test instruments for central office and field use. It offers a broad product line to the telecommunications market, providing a range of high-performance digital test instruments for the installation, maintenance and monitoring of DS1, DS3, STS-1 and SONET networks. Products are sold to the Regional Bell Operating Companies, independent telephone companies, competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs) and to private, governmental and other communications network applications.
CXR S.A., the group's France-based telecommunications transmission and network access products subsidiary, designs, manufactures and markets a complete range of transmission and network access products, including fiber, vf and DSL modems, ISDN products, channel banks, routers, and remote access servers. These products are offered as freestanding units or in managed configurations using Simple Network Management Protocol and, most recently, Internet Protocol. The equipment is employed by businesses, government agencies and others to transmit data, voice and video within local area and wide area networks.
XET Corporation and its international subsidiaries, Microtel's electronic components group, design, manufacture and market custom power conversion products and digital switches. The group provides custom electronic solutions for power conversion and electronic signal input requirements. Component applications include aircraft cockpit heads up displays, military manpack radios and other aerospace solutions for projects such as "Stealth" and other fixed and rotary wing military aircraft, as well as such commercial aircraft as Boeing 737 and 777 in the US and Aérospatiale aircraft models in Europe. In addition, XET provides a wide array of solutions for many other non-aerospace commercial and industrial applications.
Growth Strategy
To balance the risk associated with high growth telecommunications opportunities, Microtel relies on product and geographic diversification. The goal is to increase revenue and earnings, while continuing to focus on reinforcing core business and operating as international business units to maximize the return on Microtel's worldwide presence. In order to do so, Microtel is implementing a four-point strategy for growth, which contributed to the return to profitability in 2000.
Move into higher value-added products in the telecommunications test instrument market. We are on our way to achieving this goal, having acquired T-COM, a manufacturer of central office test instruments, in 2000. The acquisition expands our line of test instruments, previously focused mainly on field equipment, by now giving us access to central office equipment customers. We also expect to be able to record a first sale of our new Asynchronous Transmission Mode test instruments into this market in 2001. We are also set to introduce our high-end hand-held DS3 test set for field applications in 2001. As a result of these developments, we are in a position to offer end-to-end test equipment for systems covering the whole range of data, voice and video from the central office to the field.
Expand our line of transmission and network access products to include newer, higher bandwidth technologies including fiber and MSDSL modems and broaden their application through added features such as web-based Internet Protocol management capabilities. Microtel's business strategy is to be a fast follower, and we believe that the potential of our newest data, voice and video products points the way to the future.
Re-introduce our internationally recognized modem brand, Anderson-Jacobson, to the North American market following a complete overhaul of the product range in 2000. The new and broader Anderson-Jacobson product line has been successfully introduced in Europe and we believe there is also significant potential for these products in North America.
Balance our high-growth telecommunications market focus with our established electronic components business, which combines stable revenue and profitability with a significant opportunity for growth. We are confident that our power conversion business will continue to add to revenue and earnings.
Microtel continues to expand our product line to incorporate the latest, high-bandwidth applications. We intend to continue to focus on the "last-mile" of communications infrastructure which is a key focus of the industry as it works to recoup the cost of building out the fiber-optic backbone in the late-90s. And we continue to improve the electronic component products we offer, keeping ahead of our competitors in the price-value equation. As much of our equipment is already included in our customer's specifications, we have a strong presence in the market and believe we can continue to improve our position.
Microtel is active in North America and Europe with manufacturing and marketing facilities. The telecommunications markets in the two areas are not on the same cycle, meaning a slowdown in one geographic area is likely to be offset by strong growth in the other. We are also present in the Asian market, with our newer Japanese facilities. Although they account for only a small portion of our sales at the moment, we expect Japan and the developing economies of Asia to be major markets for Microtel's products in the medium term.
