Kayote Networks Named to the 2005 ''pulver 100;'' Industry Demand for Expertise in VoIP Interconnectivity Security Helps to Secure Position as One of the ''Companies to Watch'' in 2005.

PASSAIC, New Jersey & MELVILLE, New York -- Kayote Networks, an expert in Voice over IP (VoIP) interconnectivity technology and developer of advanced IP communication services, today announced that it has been named to the 2005 "pulver 100" -- which is the VoIP industry's premiere listing of privately held growth companies that represent the future of the communications ecosystem. Kayote Networks has been named to the list due to its successes in the area of VoIP interconnectivity security, especially with regards to Spam over Internet Telephony -- SPIT. Kayote will be unveiling its new flagship interconnectivity solution at Fall VON 2005, 19-22 September in Boston, MA.

The threat of SPIT looms just over the horizon, with the ever growing popularity of VoIP offerings worldwide providing an attractive user base at the disposal of malicious parties capable of mounting attacks with minimal resources and expenditure. It is becoming apparent that security concerns such as SPIT are of primary importance to widespread adoption of VoIP -- particularly in full IP to IP communication scenarios. More details about the initiative are available at www.spitprevention.net.

"The pulver 100 is the VoIP industry's first and foremost award listing, and it continues to grow in significance, because companies like Kayote Networks continue to spread IP communications via their interconnectivity solutions," said Jeff Pulver, Founder and Chairman of pulvermedia. "Disparate VoIP islands are springing up all over the world and Kayote is working to link them together in a secure and integrated manner, enabling direct interconnect between the myriad of VoIP networks and helping to bring the vision of full IP to IP communication to life."

"We are proud to have been selected to this year's pulver 100," said Dr. Baruch Sterman, CEO of Kayote Networks. "In an emerging industry such as VoIP, it is important to bring expertise to the table and our experience over a decade of VoIP innovation is helping our customers to create reliable infrastructure that can deliver carrier-grade telephony to millions of users."
