Veraz Networks Honored With The IP Communication Carrier Infrastructure Product Line Of The Year Award; Frost & Sullivan Honors Veraz for its Innovation and Product Excellence.

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Veraz Networks, Inc. announced today that it had been selected as the recipient of Frost & Sullivan's 2006 IP Communication Carrier Infrastructure Product Line of the Year Award. The award was presented in recognition of excellence in new products and technologies within the telecommunications industry. According to Frost & Sullivan, Veraz has shown innovation by launching a broad line of emerging products and technologies, including compression, switching and enhanced services solutions based on the I-Gate 4000 Product Line family and the ControlSwitch platform.

In 2005, Frost & Sullivan honored Veraz with the Product Line Strategy Award for the Global Carrier Infrastructure Market and in 2004 with the Voice over Packet Executive Team of the Year Award. This is the third year in a row that Veraz has received a Frost & Sullivan Award for its innovation and product excellence. Veraz emphasizes flexibility in its product development allowing customers to choose how and when they will migrate to newer products as their needs change. This flexible and easy to migrate structure is a major competitive advantage for Veraz.

Veraz's product suite includes the ControlSwitch softswitch and service delivery platform and the I-Gate 4000 family of media gateways. The programmability of Veraz's products allow them to be modified for emerging standards as they evolve, like IMS, and the open architecture enables interconnection with both legacy and IP based systems. Service providers also benefit from the cost saving opportunities created by the suite's compression capabilities as well as by the efficiency in which the products can be centrally managed.

"Veraz offers a wide variety of products, which are easy to integrate into existing networks, but more importantly, it is aware of its customers' diverse needs," said Frost & Sullivan Strategic Industry Analyst Shirley Hunt. "Veraz offers its customers flexibility based on an open platform, multiple protocols and support for a variety of hosted or application-server-based applications."

"We are truly honored to have been recognized for three straight years by such a prestigious organization within our industry as Frost & Sullivan," said Doug Sabella, president and CEO of Veraz Networks. "Veraz is committed to improving our product offerings and providing quality service to meet our customers' needs. To have these efforts recognized is meaningful for us all."

An annual event, the banquet recognizes the quality and merit of distinguished individuals and companies that deliver unparalleled insight on the industry, products and services.
