Interlink Global Opens First Latin American Office In Venezuela; Supporting Growing Latin American Demand For IP Telephony.

MIAMI -- In response to the rising current and expected future demand for IP telephony, Interlink Global Corp. (OTC:ILKG) has opened its first Latin American office in Maracaibo, Venezuela, and is doing business as Interlink Global/Metro Phone 1. The new Maracaibo office was created to serve growing regional markets. Javier Para, President of Interlink/Metro, Maracaibo, says that international markets in general and the Latin American market in particular -- are adopting IP telephony in a widespread fashion. The transition from traditional PBXs to IP-based PBXs will be very rapid in Latin America, as it has been in the U.S., according to Para.

Although the IP market is growing especially quickly in the United States, Interlink selected Venezuela for its new office because it wanted to establish its presence in an important location within Latin America. "We wanted to be well positioned over time to serve the countries of Latin America," according to Oscar Ligardi, CTO.

Javier Para sees the burgeoning Latin American demand for IP telephony as "the tip of the iceberg" for continued investment in communication systems and supporting infrastructure.

In the years to come, Interlink plans to grow its Latin American operations and maintain resources, options and a presence on the continent. The company currently serves several countries on the continent through various partnerships, from its original office in Santiago, Chile. "We expect to establish additional offices around target markets in South America," Para explains. "Our product is uniquely suited for the distributed enterprises that have multiple offices and locations, quite commonly with a regional focus in a number of cities like a credit union or a larger organization that might have a nationwide presence," continued Para. "Business today is global and doesn't stop at national boundaries. Organizations today have offices around the world as part of our global economy. We realized a long time ago that Interlink's product is well suited to international use." Para explains that the company expects to see rapid growth in overall revenue in various geographic regions, but Interlink's biggest opportunity for growth may be in South America. "We're still very early in the development process in the Latin American market. But we believe it presents the largest opportunity for growth right now."
