Cistera Networks Releases the ZoneController(TM); Newest Cistera Appliance Links Overhead Speakers to IPT Installations.

DALLAS -- CNH Holdings Company dba Cistera Networks (OTCBB:CNHC), a leading provider of advanced IP phone platforms and engines in the IP Telephony environment, today announced the release of the ZoneController(TM). The newest appliance in the Cistera product line, the ZoneController(TM) enables IP phone systems to work with existing or newly installed overhead speakers to create a unified paging system.

"Applications are now driving the adoption of IP Telephony, but up until now there were still some areas that had to be managed separately such as overhead paging," commented Gregory T. Royal, Chief Technology Officer and co-founder of Cistera Networks. "Unlike other solutions that only allow the ability to page over the speakers or the IP phones separately, the ZoneController(TM) enables simultaneous paging across both systems. Our ability to truly merge overhead paging with our Cistera ConvergenceServer(TM) expands the capabilities of our IPT deployments and takes convergence to a new level."

Cistera's ZoneController(TM) provides customers complete flexibility to group various speaker zones and the IP phones together for broadcasts; including zone within zone control and unique zone2phone(TM) grouping. The ZoneController(TM) ships standard with four-zone support, but is fully configurable to support up to eight zones -- each of which can contain an unlimited number of speakers restricted only by amplification requirements -- all offering simultaneous overhead speaker and IP phone broadcasting.

The ZoneController(TM) works well for schools that have existing speakers in the classrooms where it can support scheduled bell ringing and pre-recorded pages, but also has applications in other industries such as the manufacturing, retail and healthcare industries and government installations where pre-existing speakers can be incorporated into an IPT installation. A deployment can include as many ZoneControllers(TM) as required, and additional appliances can be added as zone requirements increase. The ZoneController(TM) also has the unique ability to integrate with a wide range of existing or newly installed self-powered and non-powered speakers from companies such as Valcom and Bogen.

"We are very excited about this product release, because it provides a tangible cost savings and added benefit for customers deploying IPT. Customers have been waiting for a solution that could truly unify overhead speakers with their IP Phones. Our first ZoneControllers(TM) shipped this week as part of a complete Cistera ConvergenceServer(TM) IPT solution for a large independent school district, and we already have demand for an additional 100 units -- both as retrofits for existing installations and as components of new ones," stated Derek P. Downs, Cistera Networks President. "A traditional paging system can cost as much as $120,000 per location. With the ZoneController(TM) ranging in price from $4,000 to $8,000 depending on the number of zones, combined with the ConvergenceServer(TM) driving our RapidBroadcast(TM) application, we can reduce that cost by 50% while providing all of the additional benefits of a converged IP Telephony solution."
