PHOENIX and LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 20, 2000

Cirilium Corp. is supplying Telia, the leading telecommunications company in Sweden, with their Power-Suite Voice over IP (VoIP) technology.

This venture will enable the launch of Telia's VoIP calls for residential use. Together with Komodo Technology Inc., leading supplier of highly integrated VoIP phone adaptors, the three companies will unveil a carrier-class IP telephony solution at the Voice on the Net (VON) Conference in Stockholm this week.

Cirilium's Power-Suite helps carriers and enterprises speed services to market, reduce costs and integrate VoIP efforts. The IP telephony solution meets both H.323 and MGCP standards.

Power-Suite is the first infrastructure to unite a carrier-class gateway with an offering of back-office, software-based components and services. The solution includes three main components the Media Gateway Package, the NetControl Center, and the Application Center.

"Establishing Telia on the international carrier market as a carrier for IP-transit with a capacity for low network production costs is our business priority. Cirilium and Komodo have given us the ability to offer customers voice communications over our broadband IP network, offering our customers the best possible service," said Hans Eriksson, CTO of IP Telephony for Telia.

Interoperability of each company's extensive technology and deployment of unrivalled expertise has led to remarkable end results. This allows flat rate pricing, while holding the promise of greatly enhanced features, now and in the future.

Komodo supplies EF200 adaptors designed with H.323 support that turn regular telephones into IP telephones. This technology allows service providers to deploy IP telephones to residences and businesses alike, to take advantage of VoIP.

The Komodo EF200 adaptor sits on the edge of Cirilium's Power-Suite. It seamlessly integrates into Cirilium's global gateway networks, delivering an IP service without compromise.

Steve Toteda, vice president sales & marketing of Komodo said, "Working in partnership with Cirilium offers a first class product and service. Linking our technology with Telia's infrastructure will deliver next-generation residential telecommunications."

Tom Parise, president and chief executive officer of Cirilium comments, "We are delighted to work in conjunction with Telia and Komodo to provide this excellent product. Interoperability is key to the success of communication without limits. Cirilium developed the Power-Suite Gatekeeper to create an IP telephone network capable of interoperating with other provider networks.

"A high performance, standards-based gatekeeper that can recognize and manage traffic in a mixed, multi-vendor environment is necessary to complete this task. Our solution helps carriers and enterprises speed services to market, reduce costs and integrate VoIP efforts. At Cirilium we are committed to excellence and look forward to a long and successful business relationship."

Demonstrations of this solution will take place at VON Europe in the Telia and Cirilium booths (numbers 222/321 and 108, respectively).
