Damovo Argentina and N.E.T. Renew Partnership and Focus on Delivery of SHOUT VoIP Solutions for Enterprise, Defense and Carrier Customers.

FREMONT, Calif. & BUENOS AIRES, Argentina -- Damovo Argentina, a provider of advanced integrated communications solutions and services for data, mobility and voice for enterprise, and Network Equipment Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:NWK), a global supplier of communications equipment, announced today that they have signed a joint contract to renew their relationship.

N.E.T. and Damovo Argentina have worked in partnership since 1997 to develop accounts such as Telecom Argentina, and the Armada, or navy, of Argentina, both of which are still active customers. The partnership will focus on delivering N.E.T.'s SHOUT platform to enterprise, government and carrier customers throughout Argentina. SHOUT is the most comprehensive IP telephony solution available today, allowing public and private network operators to leverage the cost savings and functional benefits of VoIP.

Jose Requejo, president of Damovo Argentina, said, "Reaffirming our alliance with N.E.T. enables us to offer unique solutions for our customers. With the SHOUT IP platform, we are able to bring next-generation communications capabilities to our customers in our key market segments."

For the enterprise, SHOUT offers a security-rich platform that safely and soundly enables a smooth migration path to VoIP, enabling companies to achieve cost savings today from reduced traffic and network element costs, while extending the life of existing network assets. SHOUT is especially effective for the multinational enterprise where a mix of vendor equipment can make interoperability particularly challenging: SHOUT interconnects multiple vendor, protocol and transport elements to seamlessly deliver VoIP capabilities to these complex networks. And, the platform's exclusive BESTflow routing protocol and unique frame-packing technique relieve the need for significant network infrastructure upgrades in routers and switches that are routinely required for competitive VoIP strategies.

An important feature for government applications is the SHOUT platform's ability to deliver secure voice for encrypted calls, an application that is currently used at the highest levels of the U.S. Department of Defense and intelligence agencies.

In the carrier environment, SHOUT enables voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) in the hosted or managed service environment as well as prepaid phone card services, and enhanced voice services, including unified messaging, CENTREX, and web phone.

SHOUT combines the functionality of a media gateway, call control component, SS7/C7 signaling point, H.323/SIP inter-working device and media server in a single, compact chassis. Its easy-to-configure software feature set includes interactive voice response (IVR), billing, integration, monitoring and management tools. SHOUT supports a wide range of voice and call routing features; conformance to the latest VoIP signaling and call control standards guarantees interoperability within multivendor VoIP deployments.

Damovo and N.E.T. will also continue to sell and support N.E.T.'s Promina platform for multiservice access, its SCREAM platform for broadband aggregation services, and network management tools for all of its products.
