SUREWEST CITES RELIABILITY, SCALABILITY AND BUSINESS FEATURE SUPPORT AS KEYS TO PROFITABLE SERVICE DEPLOYMENT

San Jose, CA – August 27, 2007 — InnoMedia^™, a leading supplier of Internet and broadband access IP telephony solutions, today announced major customer deployments of its multi-port gateways in the United States and India. With worldwide residential market acceptance of VoIP, customers are quickly recognizing new opportunities in SME markets. As new services are created for businesses, InnoMedia multi-port gateways have become the preferred edge devices for many ILECs and CLECs.

InnoMedia customers are using a combination of InnoMedia’s 4-port MTA 6328-4, InnoMedia’s 8-port MTA 6328-8 and InnoMedia’s 24-port MTA 6028-24 to provide solutions to businesses with from one to hundreds of employees. The consistent hardware design and business features across the entire product family make qualifying and supporting all devices as simple as possible. Combined with InnoMedia’s reputation for having the industry’s best Enterprise class products, InnoMedia MTAs are a logical choice for knowledgeable operators.

“InnoMedia products have allowed us to rapidly roll out a full range of IP services and continue expanding our service portfolio,” said Scott Barber, SureWest’s Vice President of Network Operations. “A consistent platform supporting a range of products has greatly simplified deployment and enhanced our ability to offer excellent service and quality to our SME customers.”

InnoMedia’s MTA 6000 family of VoIP terminal adapters represents a complete range of broadband IP telephony CPE devices for business customers. With support for both SIP and MGCP, InnoMedia’s MTAs interoperate with industry leading softswitches and call agents to offer a wide variety of call features including Caller ID, Call Waiting, Call Forwarding, Call Return, Caller ID Blocking, as well as device based 3-way calling.

InnoMedia enterprise MTAs offer a rich set of business features including ground start and loop start for business PBXs, foreign voltage detection to allow house wiring and prevent accidental connection of house wires to live PSTN, T.38 and G.711 fallback for fax, and metering pulse for payphone applications. InnoMedia’s MTA 6028-24 can also be used in conjunction with a PBX as an enterprise IP-based PBX solution.

“Our on-going efforts to provide various density gateways demonstrate once again InnoMedia’s commitment to Service Operators serving the Enterprise market,” said Shailesh Patel, Senior Director, Product Management at InnoMedia. “By listening to our service partners, we have designed and developed products to meet the most stringent requirements for our ILEC and CLEC customers.”
