Cantata Technology Celebrates First Birthday.

Company Recognizes Several Achievements and Market Share Gains

NEEDHAM, Mass. -- Cantata Technology([TM]) celebrates its first birthday today at Spring 2007 VON. Cantata, officially launched at Spring 2006 VON, was created through the combination of Excel Switching Corporation and Brooktrout Technology([R]), instantly becoming one of the world's leading independent providers of enabling communications technology to service providers and corporate enterprises.

During its first year of operation, Cantata has expanded its substantial customer base, which includes the likes of Verizon, Sonus Networks and LatiNode, by more than 100 new major account customers. Cantata's partner program has also expanded and includes more than 350 "best-of-breed" technology partners, distributors, and resellers, including BEA Systems, Oracle, and Ubiquity Software. In addition, Cantata has achieved significant cross-selling success between its traditional service provider and corporate enterprise customers, reflecting an industry trend toward the convergence of these two lucrative markets.

Additional first-year highlights include:

Critical Industry Acclaim: During its first year, Cantata was named a "Top 10 VoIP Company to Watch" by Network World magazine, and its IMG 1010[TM] Integrated Media and Signaling VoIP Gateway received "Product of The Year" honors from Internet Telephony magazine. In addition, Cantata was named to pulvermedia's "Pulver 100," the industry's premier listing of privately-held growth companies that represent the future of the IP-voice and video communications ecosystem.

Impressive Market Traction and Acceptance for VoIP Gateway and Media Server Products: In less than 18 months of commercial availability, Cantata's IMG 1010 Integrated Media and Signaling VoIP Gateway has already been deployed by more than 55 carriers in 20 countries spanning five continents, and has ascended to a top four market share position in the ultra-competitive media gateway market. The company's SnowShore IP Media Server([TM]) also achieved significant market share status during the past year, propelled by increased industry interest in developing and deploying media-rich IMS-based applications.

Continued Leadership and Major Milestone in Fax Market: The Brooktrout by Cantata[TM] family of intelligent fax products has continued to increase its worldwide market share. According to the latest Davidson Consulting research report, Cantata achieved a 70% worldwide market share. Cantata boasts the broadest range of intelligent fax technology on the market today, ranging from small scale solutions with the Brooktrout([R]) TruFax([R]) product line to enterprise and carrier-grade systems with the Brooktrout TR1034[TM] and SR140[TM] products. Combined, Brooktrout-brand fax products are approved for use in more than 40 countries, and Cantata recently announced that it had shipped its one millionth fax port, representing more than 500 billion fax pages processed.

Dedication to Innovation, Customers and Partners: Cantata is dedicated to ensuring the success of its customers and partners. Combining the rich heritage and capabilities of Excel and Brooktrout, Cantata has been organized to deliver innovative products and technologies with world-class service to its customers and partners. Spending almost 50% of revenue on R&D and support allows Cantata to deliver next generation capability with the latest IP communication technologies while providing an evolutionary migration path from today's networks, with superior support and service available around the clock and around the world.
