CommPartners Selects Best-of-Breed Vendors for Next-Generation Network Buildout.

LAS VEGAS -- CommPartners' network will optimize technological advancements to provide turnkey or selective VoIP for broadband service providers

CommPartners, the ("Company"), a Voice over Internet Protocol ("VoIP") facilitator providing IP telephony services and connectivity to service providers, today announced its plans for a proprietary network that will create best-case economics for the transport of VoIP calls across the nation. Today, CommPartners' offers an "NFL city footprint" to its hosted VoIP customers. By mid-2005, CommPartners' proprietary network will cover substantially all tier-1 through tier-4 population centers in the United States, including Alaska and Hawaii, enabling access to over 8,500 local calling rate centers across the country.

CommPartners will use a combination of the latest advancements in technology and its proprietary, sophisticated communications back-office platform to provide the Company a competitive edge in its ability to efficiently and economically transport IP traffic in and out of the Public Switched Telephone Network ("PSTN"). CommPartners has designed a network architecture initially consisting of four strategically placed "Super POPs," where the Company will place routers, softswitching equipment, and session border controllers. The Company has chosen technology vendors Telica and BroadSoft to provide Class 4/5 switching and routing as well as advanced VoIP applications such as IP Centrex, hosted PBX and Conferencing. The Company also operates a Syndeo Syion softswitch that is PacketCable-compliant for the cable market. Acme Packet(R) has been chosen to provide the session border control functionality in the network.

CommPartners will utilize Internap (Amex: IIP) to carry its VoIP traffic between broadband end-users and CommPartners' Super POPs, where the determination is made as to whether to convert into traditional voice protocol or remain in VoIP format for delivery to the called party. Internap, a provider of route control technology and high-performance IP solutions for business-critical applications, will offer CommPartners' customers 100 percent Internet availability, allowing them to bypass congestion points and avoid other difficulties that plague conventional Internet connectivity.

Because of Internap's multi-homed architecture, CommPartners has been able to engineer its network to avoid traversing public Internet peering points, which are inherent "log jams," placing traffic to the CommPartners network only one hop away from every major Internet backbone carrier. This proximity will allow CommPartners to eliminate the majority of the latency and jitter associated with calls moving across the public Internet, providing substantially higher quality VoIP calls. CommPartners' network strategy, combined with strong internal voice, data and pioneering VoIP expertise, will position the Company to be the least-cost provider of VoIP services and PSTN interconnection. The Company intends to have filed Competitive Local Exchange Company ("CLEC") certifications in all fifty states by the end of August, 2004.

"We have essentially optimized our CLEC and data skill sets with the latest VoIP technology to design and build a national network specific to moving IP traffic to the PSTN," said Dave Clark, president and chief executive officer of CommPartners, "We're combining the best technology vendors with superb network engineering to create the most reliable and high-quality VoIP backbone in the country."
