Question-and-Answer Session

Operator

Thank you sir. (Operator instructions) We have a question from Jeffrey Myers of Cobia Capital. Please go ahead.

Joe Ferrara

Hi Jeffrey.

Jeffrey MyersCobia Capital

Hey, how are you?

Joe Ferrara

Good. How are you?

Jeffrey MyersCobia Capital

Good. Well, so my question for you is with DigiTest ICE growing out this quarter, first question on that is do you think this is going to cannibalize sales of your other products or is this like focused on the new area that you guys have not addressed before?

Joe Ferrara

Primarily, most of the other products were focused on the central office and DigiTest ICE is focused more on remote sites, so we don’t expect a whole lot of cannibalization. There is a possibility that you would have some customers that would place ICE [ph] at smaller COs, but for the most part we expect it to be placed in remote sites.

Jeffrey MyersCobia Capital

Now, the second question is the first release of ICE, what functionality does it have? Does it have – does it – can you do IPTV on it? Can you do voice over IP, and, if not, when are those functionalities [ph] going to be coming up?

Joe Ferrara

So, the first release is metallic testing only, and that release is out. The other releases are coming out this quarter. We have two different releases. One that’s based on a G-Version of the DSL, and then we also have another broadband version that is coming out. The broadband version is the version where we would develop IPTV and additional functionality that you were referring to.

Jeffrey MyersCobia Capital

I see. And, of those three versions, do you expect higher sales levels for any of those in particular, or is it tough to tell at this point?

Joe Ferrara

Tough to tell at this point.

Jeffrey MyersCobia Capital

Got you [ph]. Okay, great day, thank you.

Joe Ferrara

Alright, thank you very much.

Operator

(Operator instructions) Mr. Ferrara, there appeared to be no further questions. I’d like to turn the call back over to you for any closing comments, sir.

Joe Ferrara

Okay, thanks Andrew. Now if there are no further questions, you can always contact the company directly if you have questions in the future. I want to thank everybody for joining us for this update today, and we appreciate your interest in Tollgrade and looking forward to our next quarterly update. Thanks and have a great day.
