Excel, MediaRing Partnership to Accelerate VoIP Migration

Leading Session Controller Vendor Joins Excel’s I3P Partner Program, Proves Interoperability of MediaRing VoizBridge and Excel Gateway

SPRING VON 2004 – Santa Clara, Calif. – March 29, 2004 – At Spring VON 2004, Excel Switching Corp. (www.xl.com) announced successful interoperability lab tests that have resulted in a partnership with MediaRing ™, Ltd. (MRNG.SI) (www.mediaring.com), a global provider of packet telephony services and solutions. As a result, MediaRing joins Excel’s IP Interoperability and Innovations Program (I3P) where the MediaRing VoizBridge session controller, enabling peering and secured interconnectivity between multiple VoIP networks, can be effectively deployed alongside Excel’s carrier-class, open service platforms, media gateways and media servers.

In the partnership, Excel will provide the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) to IP gateway functionality for MediaRing’s session border controller to offer a powerful, unified solution for carriers to rapidly expand their offerings of IP services such as VoIP wholesale (prepaid and postpaid), VoIP calling cards, enterprise VoIP and IP conferencing and fax. Both solutions seamlessly interoperate between H.323 and SIP, thereby protecting a carrier’s investment in legacy equipment while allowing the carrier to expand into the burgeoning VoIP market.

“Excel is at the forefront of VoIP migration by providing carrier-class solutions that not only support multiple protocols, but also interoperate with a variety of networks, effectively scale and offer great flexibility,” said Khaw Kheng Joo, chief executive officer of MediaRing. “Together, Excel and MediaRing allow carriers to securely and cost effectively roll out a broad spectrum of IP services enabling them to add additional revenue.”

Attendees are invited to visit the exhibit hall and learn more about Excel’s gateway capabilities at Booth #1100. MediaRing is exhibiting at Booth #505.

Excel Poised for VoIP Success
According to Juniper Research, the VoIP market will be the significant revenue generator for broadband service providers by 2009, contributing to an overall value-added services market of $47 billion. This is in addition to the $43 billion that's expected to be spent on broadband access in five years. In a March 2004 report, Juniper indicates that the biggest opportunity for service providers is in voice services as VoIP continues to replace traditional circuit-switched voice.

MediaRing’s partnership with Excel demonstrates how service providers can interconnect their networks to quickly gain VoIP market traction, whether their networks are a traditional PSTN or an emerging next generation network powered by SIP and H.323 technologies.

“Excel’s approach to VoIP allows carriers to cost-effectively move forward with IP initiatives at a pace that makes sense for them,” said J.C. Murphy, president of Excel. “We believe MediaRing will be an integral part of our success with fast growing VoIP networks.”

MediaRing To Power NTT Communications VoIP Clearinghouse

Telecom giant’s new clearinghouse service features higher standards of interoperability and security with MediaRing VoizBridge technology

11 October 2002, Singapore – MediaRing has partnered with NEC Corporation of Japan to provide secure VoIP interconnect and interoperability functionality to NTT Worldwide Telecommunications Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of NTT Communications Corporation (hereafter called “NTT”).

Based on MediaRing VoizBridge technology, the new clearinghouse service by NTT will feature multi-protocol and multi-vendor compatibility for telecommunication carriers and Internet Telephony Service Providers (ITSPs).

“The explosive growth of the VoIP market and its rapid adoption by carriers worldwide has created interoperability challenges amongst carriers and service providers in the exchange of global voice traffic,” said Mr. Tetsuro Mikami, Vice President of IP Business Development at NTT Communications in Japan. “The array of differing communication protocols, and the inability of different vendor equipment to interconnect has resulted in inefficiencies in service provision and cost competitiveness.”

Mr. Hironobu Sakata of NEC Corporation said, “NEC is pleased to welcome MediaRing as a partner, and looks forward to supporting NTT’s advanced solutions. VoizBridge lends to NTT’s new clearinghouse service the capability of interconnecting with any number of carrier partners. This translates to higher quality of service, a better variety of value-added services, and cost advantages to any party along the value chain.”

MediaRing VoizBridge is a solutions platform that provides carriers with the highest levels of flexibility, performance and security for interconnecting with multiple partners regardless of the type of vendor equipment or communications protocol. VoizBridge replaces the need for expensive back-to-back gateway investments, allows carriers to achieve faster provisioning times and eliminates costly delays in rate negotiations.

“MediaRing is pleased to work closely with NTT and NEC,” said Mr. Koh Boon Hwee, Executive Director of MediaRing. “NTT is a powerful force in the global VoIP communications arena, and its multi-protocol and vendor clearinghouse service will be a prime driver in the growth of high quality VoIP services with more enhanced features in competitive telecommunications environment.”

“This contract win is a firm endorsement of our VoizBridge technology by two of the world’s leading players in the telecommunications and IT arenas respectively,” he added.

Launched on 10 October 2002, NEC Corporation will provide systems integration and support services to NTT’s new clearinghouse. TransNexus Inc. will provide OSP solutions that feature cross-platform accounting and authorizing for VoIP services.
