LatiNode Selects Pactolus For Pan American Voice Services Network; Emerging Trans-national VoBB Leader Drives New Business Model With Pactolus SIPware Services and RapidFLEX SCE.

MARLBOROUGH, Mass. -- Pactolus Communications Software Corporation, the leading developer of Class 4/5 SIP-based IP voice services, today announced its selection and preliminary deployment by LatiNode, a rapidly growing global VoIP service provider leveraging VoBB to eliminate international telecommunications and service affordability/access boundaries. US-based LatiNode has sustained extraordinary growth during its first four years in service, and will be launching its next generation IP-based retail service throughout Latin America.

Jorge Granados, CEO and Founder of LatiNode, notes: "Our vision is to simplify and improve the accessibility, usability and affordability of telecommunications services. Pactolus has partnered with us to create and deploy innovative access features that remove infrastructure-driven segregations and unify subscribers with their calling circles, regardless of distance and location. Our mission is to more closely align the economics of telecommunications services with the capabilities provided by VoBB and the realities of today's cross-border families and enterprises, and Pactolus is a strategic partner in achieving this mission."

LatiNode has based its forthcoming innovative VoBB service on Pactolus' uniquely-flexible RapidFLEX Service Delivery Platform and Service Creation Environment. For the past year, LatiNode has dramatically grown its prepaid and post paid businesses, increased its product portfolio and penetrated new international markets using a services bundle based upon Pactolus' SIPware services suite. LatiNode aggressively expanded into Europe and North Africa during 2005, and now delivers innovative IP-based services throughout the world.

INC. Magazine named LatiNode #152 on its list of America's 500 Fastest-Growing Private Companies in November 2005; LatiNode was also recently named the #1 Fastest Growing Hispanic Company in the United States for the second consecutive year by Hispanic Business magazine.

Pactolus SIPware and RapidFLEX products are the foundation for innovations that are central to LatiNode's global service delivery business model, such as assured multi-national regulatory compliance frameworks, immediate account reconciliations, real-time currency translations, DID number distributions, and a comprehensive range of multi-national accounting and cash/credit/kiosk payment methodologies.

Pactolus Chairman and CEO Paul Blondin concluded, "We are honored to serve as a partner to one of the world's best and most rapidly-growing service providers. Jorge's distinct vision and leadership, and the superb execution of the entire LatiNode team will help re-shape international telecomm services in the coming months and years. Its unique service extensibility is a real-world illustration of both the true potential of multi-service networks, and the distinct power and flexibility of the Pactolus service creation platform and services portfolio."
