Press Release - Spider Announcement

Foster City, California, USA, October 9, 2006 - VoEX™, Inc., a major VoIP Managed Service Provider, announced today the general availability of its SuperRegistry™ peering solution and on-demand application to the carrier, wireless and voice service provider communities. Carriers and service providers who have joined the SuperRegistry can terminate traffic with each other at costs below inter-carrier local tandem rates and also enjoy the incremental benefit of global reach while avoiding any capital expenditure.

Haydar Haba, CEO and founder of VoEX™, Inc. said, "We have grown in a stealth mode to a leadership position in the registry and peering space by leveraging our reputation among the Tier 1 fixed and mobile providers as well as VoIP Service Providers for flawlessly delivering IP-TDM interconnect solutions with 100% customer retention since our founding in 2003. It is now time that we offer the world the disruptive pricing and industry leading quality of service that our customers have long enjoyed."

The VoEX™ SuperRegistry peering solution provides both interconnection and transport services, including call signaling and media translation, and ENUM registry capabilities. The VoEX™ solution is particularly compelling not only for VoIP traffic, but for the vast majority of service providers today. For those carriers who already originate and terminate VoIP, VoEX™ provides a virtually zero cost voice service with no per minute charges to other IP endpoints. For those carriers still migrating their networks from TDM, the solution can immediately offer local tandem pricing or below for the 40+ million numbers in the registry, as well as the tens of millions of other global registry endpoints with which it interoperates. With the carrier peering model made possible by the VoEX™ SuperRegistry™ , even the smallest service provider gains the global reach and competitive pricing power previously available only to large, international carriers. In addition, the SuperRegistry™  provides the necessary user addressing and intelligent routing infrastructure to enable rich content, collaboration and presence-based communications applications.

"For a typical midsized US regional service provider with less than 2 million subscribers we estimate that their realized savings over three years of membership is $20 million. Additionally, because we deploy our solution via a software as a service model, we require no upfront fees, capital investments or membership charges of our member customers," added Kevin Han, Senior Vice President of Marketing for VoEX™. "Our customers think of this as zero risk as they can also test the quality to all 40 million endpoints immediately with no future obligations."

VoEX™ is a privately held company headquartered in Silicon Valley, California, with global operations throughout North America, Europe and Asia.

Press Release - Denver Office Announcement

VoEX has built a pure VoIP peering infrastructure using its network resources and its SuperRegistry™, an advanced carrier-grade ENUM database that maps telephone numbers to IP destinations. With this, it delivers any-to-any connectivity, from VoIP to PSTN users and vice versa. The SuperRegistry peering solution also supports the development of advanced IP-based applications – including enhanced directory, mobility, location and presence services -- that can bridge the voice and data service worlds. As the leader in the peering, registry, and IP/TDM interconnect space, VoEX is in a unique position to lower costs, converge IP and TDM voice traffic, and provide advanced applications to end users.

Carriers and service providers who have registered their network entry points on VoEX’s ENUM-based SuperRegistry gain managed IP access, through VoEX, to each others’ endpoints. They can terminate traffic – TDM, IP, and hybrid combinations of both -- for each other at costs below local tandem rates. They can also enjoy the incremental benefit of global VoIP reach while avoiding any capital expenditure and eliminating some PSTN database query charges.

VoEX’s customer base includes wireless and wireline carriers, MSOs, cable operators, VoIP service providers, large enterprises, universities, and e-communities like Yahoo and LinkedIn. The SuperRegistry currently includes a significant amount of North America’s wireless telephone numbers, and is expected to reach additional wireless phone numbers and a majority of wireline numbers by the end of 2007.

In an IP-to-IP call, this lookup and routing not only avoids PSTN transport entirely, it routes calls independently of the routing tables and SS7 signaling used by traditional telcos.

Records of all phone numbers and their associated network entry points are stored in VoEX’s registry. To keep this information current, all additions and changes are regularly distributed throughout the VoEX network by its internal peering grid. Peers can thus connect through VoEX, which can transcode the industry’s widest range of signaling protocols (SIP, H.323, MGCP) and codecs.

Taken together, this combination saves VoEX’s customers money by allowing them to carry as many calls as possible, as far as possible, over IP. They save call setup times and transport costs otherwise spent on PSTN-based bridging hops between IP networks. They benefit from VoEX’s intelligent, least-cost routing and carrier-grade voice quality and reliability. When end points are TDM-based, customers save on termination fees; long PSTN-based termination legs are shortened by using the IP off-ramp (gateway) closest to the called device.

VoEX’s managed services proposition offers a no-capex entry into IP-to-IP calling. Its registry of phone numbers, continually updated with local number portability feeds and grown with additional peers, provides over one million routes for off-net interconnection, chosen with least-cost or best-quality priorities.

VoEX’s proprietary any-to-any interconnectivity technology bolts onto customers’ existing infrastructure of SS7/C7 signaling, ISDN, and such non-standard VoIP devices as Asterisk and SER servers.

In the longer term, end-to-end VoIP connectivity opens the door to applications and services that PSTN transport hops cannot support. These might include rich content, collaboration and presence-based communications applications, push-to-talk, gaming, video, and media services yet to come. The multi-channel capability of ENUM also has the potential for registering multiple endpoints and subscriber preferences under one registration record, providing a path for emails, text messages and faxes as well as voice calls to any of several devices.

In launching and growing its SuperRegistry, VoEX’s top-tier customers include Qwest, Global Crossing, VoiceOne, USA Datanet, Point One, Grande Communications, Broadwing(Level3), Merit Network, Interactive Intelligence, Talk America, Transcom, Internet2, University of Michigan, Northwestern University, and Georgetown University. By purchasing from VoEX, these customers gain the capacity to deploy VoIP, reduced operating costs, faster time-to-market and greater profitability.

VoEX is a privately held company headquartered in Foster City, California, with global operations serving customers throughout North America, Europe and Asia.

A Tier-one carrier grade service, the VoEX IP trunking network also forms the backbone of VoEX’s inter-carrier peering offering. Using the VoEX SuperRegistry™ ENUM database of over 250 million phone numbers and their related VoEX IP addresses, carriers that register their network entry points and phone numbers with the VoEX Wireless Peering Grid gain managed IP access, through VoEX, to each others’ endpoints.
The Wireless Peering Grid allows wireless carriers to carry more calls longer distances over IP, eliminates intermediary carrier charges, and avoids PSTN interim hops while providing a framework for future advanced applications. Peering Grid participants can terminate calls to each other at costs well below local tandem rates. In addition, wireless carriers can choose to earn compensation for calls handed off directly to their networks by VoEX.

“The VoEX Wireless Peering Grid offers significant advantages to the wireless participant for several reasons,” says Cyril N. Matthews, VoEX Director of Registry and Network Services.
First, wireless carriers are leading the telecom marketplace in eliminating long distance calling charges, while several are also scrapping per-minute charges.  VoEX’s Wireless Peering Grid lowers the costs of goods for the carrier, keeping flat rates profitable and voice quality high. VoEX’s any-to-any connectivity routes calls to and from the carrier’s network, whether circuit-switched or IP-based, wireless or wireline. 

Second, wireless carriers operating in multiple geographically distinct areas also have particular need for VoEX’s capabilities. “We can route not only between separate service providers’ networks, but between a single carrier’s dispersed markets,” says Matthews. This eliminates PSTN detours to connect physically separate VoIP and TDM networks. Roaming costs can be lowered as well, as backhaul traffic from peer carriers can also be routed over VoEX links.

Third, through VoEX and its peering service providers, wireless carriers can reach across national boundaries and profitably offer extraordinarily competitive international calling rates. VoEX meets Tier-one global carriers at major telecom hubs in North America and abroad.

Fourth, VoEX also removes financial and human capital investment risk by installing and managing TDM-IP gateways where needed to meet carrier switches or network entry points. VoEX takes care of all inter-carrier mediation, normalizing the industry’s widest range of signaling protocols (SIP, H.323, MGCP, SS7/C7) and codecs. Its managed gateways take outgoing traffic from a mobile service provider’s switch, convert it into digital packets, and route it over the highly reliable VoEX IP network to points very near (or at) the call destination.

And finally, wireless carriers also have a stake in moving to IP-based networks for their ability to support convergent mobile applications – including location and presence services -- that play important roles in the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) many are planning to deploy.

VoEX’s any-to-any connectivity requires an addressing scheme that reaches TDM phones and also associates subscribers with increasingly common IP and hybrid TDM-IP networks. VoEX’s answer is its SuperRegistry™ service, supporting wireless service providers as part of the VoEX Wireless Peering Grid. An advanced carrier-grade ENUM database, the SuperRegistry maps telephone numbers to IP destinations available on the VoEX network. 
The SuperRegistry holds all peering carriers’ phone numbers and their associated VoEX network addresses. To keep this information current, VoEX regularly and automatically distributes additions, changes, and updates from the Number Portability Administration Center database throughout its network.
In launching and growing its SuperRegistry and Wireless Peering Grid, VoEX enjoys the benefit of customer relationships developed over five years in the IP trunking business.

FOSTER CITY, Calif., September 18, 2007 — VoEX™ Inc., a major VoIP managed services provider, announced today it has renamed itself IntelePeer™ Inc. to better reflect the company’s comprehensiveness in next-generation communications services.

IntelePeer’s phone-number-to-IP address registry, global IP peering infrastructure, media transcoding and routing intelligence allow carriers, cable companies, wireless and other voice services providers, universities, call centers, enterprises and eCommunities – such as AIM, Yahoo! And MSN –to reduce their communications costs dramatically.  Its infrastructure allows participating peers to send traffic around the world without making costly interim hops to public switched telephone networks, and to build and run intelligent voice-and-data communications applications from end to end. 

“We felt we needed to change our name because ‘VoEX’ implies that we’re simply a voice exchange service using VoIP,” said company CEO F. Terry Kremian.  “We needed a brand name that better reflects the broader range of our communications offerings and future direction of the company.

“We chose IntelePeer because it stands for Intelligent Telecommunications and Peering,” he added.  “Many of our would-be competitors offer voice peering and minutes exchange, or registry services, or gateway functions, as well as long-haul IP trunking services. We differentiate ourselves by offering all of these services combined with the infrastructure to develop next-generation intelligent communications applications.”  Kremian said he could foresee, for example, such applications as location-aware (or presence-aware) enhanced person-to-person interactions.

Leveraging industry standards, IntelePeer’s intelligent peering navigation technology assures that every call is delivered in the right format across the most cost-effective, highest quality route possible – providing one-stop shopping for state-of-the-art IP services at a fraction of the cost.  These services incorporate:

•  Intelligent Least Cost Routing – maximizing quality and cost savings across all networks;

•  SIP-based Session Management – reducing termination costs and eliminating payments to long distance and local carriers;

• Any-to-Any Network Interoperability – real-time transcoding, protocol translation and media conversion between disparate networks;

• Phone Number Mapping – linking phone numbers to IP-based addresses using ENUM and other protocols;

• Device Discovery – dynamically analyzing network traffic and call statistics to determine the best route and method to deliver calls while reducing the complexity of building device-specific applications.

“These are the core services that define IntelePeer and will drive future growth,” Kremian said. 

He called IntelePeer’s SuperRegistry™ capability – the addressing database and routing algorithms essential to the peering community -- a key differentiator, because the wide number of destinations it reaches makes the company a “one-stop shop” for realizing the many cost and Quality of Service benefits of VoIP and direct network-to-network interworking.   It also sets the groundwork for support of IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) and other IP-based applications.

The IntelePeer SuperRegistry combines its open-standards carrier ENUM directory technology with a global carrier-grade IP peering and TDM interconnect routing infrastructure.  Together, this enables customers to originate, terminate and share calls or sessions for mobile, fixed and broadband communications.

In addition, the SuperRegistry platform will allow service providers to create new sources of revenue by deploying innovative SIP-based services such as video, presence and location-awareness.
