SANTA BARBARA, Calif. -- Occam Networks Inc. (OTCBB: OCCM), a supplier of innovative Ethernet and IP-based loop carrier equipment to telecommunications companies worldwide, today announced it has signed a value-added reseller (VAR) agreement with Pacific Star Communications, of Portland, OR. Pacific Star will resell Occam's Broadband Loop Carrier (BLC) 6000 Platform of next-generation data and video services to independent operating companies (IOC) and U.S. government entities located domestically and abroad.

"Pacific Star clients demand superior performance of their telecommunications services," said Len Tobias, Sales Director for Pacific Star Communications. "Whether providing service to mission critical military operations, or the lifeline phone service of communities, failure is not an option and performance counts. We must provide our customers with a service they can count on. That's why we chose Occam."

Pacific Star Communications offers advanced telecommunications services to critical military installations for the U.S. Department of Defense. These services support the men and women who serve in the Army, Navy, Coast Guard, Air Force, Marines, and other military and civilian organizations. Pacific Star also works with valued Independent Local Exchange and service provider customers nationwide, including state and local governments, and Indian reservations developing their own telephone networks.

"By partnering with Occam we can ensure that our customers obtain the most mature and robust broadband loop carrier solutions on the market," Len Tobias said. "Occam not only provides a reliable IP platform with a combination of voice, data and video services, but it's easy to implement, maintain, and service wherever it's deployed."
