uReach Technologies and Brooktrout Showcase Video Messaging Solution at VON Canada

HOLMDEL New Jersey, and NEEDHAM, Mass., April 19, 2005—uReach Technologies, a leader in enhanced communications solutions to carriers, and Brooktrout Technology, a leading supplier of media processing and call control products, today announced the firms are jointly showcasing a new video messaging solution for use by wireless, wireline and cable carriers. The video messaging application, built on the uReach application platform and Brooktrout’s SnowShore IP Media Server™, demonstrates the true power of open standards, bringing together best-in-breed technology partners to deliver leading-edge IP-based video services. uReach and Brooktrout are showcasing the new video messaging solution in the uReach booth #101 at the VON Canada show in Toronto, Canada, April 19 – 21, 2005.

uReach has teamed up with Brooktrout to integrate the SnowShore IP Media Server as part of its enhanced messaging platform. With support for important standards such as SIP, VoiceXML and H.263 video compression and experience in real world video deployments, Brooktrout Technology’s SnowShore IP Media Server is an excellent choice for 3G wireless and broadband video messaging. uReach’s open, scalable architecture has been proven rock-solid in both laboratory and production environments at many of the world’s top carriers including Bell Canada, SaskTel, Verizon, Cox Communications, Telifonica, Entel Movil (TIM), and SunRocket. Backed by Brooktrout’s powerful media processing capabilities, uReach’s platform can deliver fully-featured video messaging from within a proven, extensible platform -- a platform from which they can deliver a variety of enhanced communications services such as PC-based voicemail screening, unified messaging, find me-follow me services, basic voice messaging, prepaid wireless and calling card, and more.

“We’re delighted to work with Brooktrout to demonstrate how easily carriers can expand their suite of advanced communications services with uReach’s platform,” said David Ittner, Chief Technology Officer of uReach. “As carriers grapple with the real pain of implementing next-generation IP-based services, we are well-positioned to help them take full advantage of these enhanced capabilities at the application level. Together with Brooktrout, uReach can harness their next-generation networks to deliver today’s most sought-after services while retaining the same reliability and extensibility that carriers have come to expect from their existing TDM networks.”

Brooktrout’s SnowShore IP Media Server is an open carrier-class media processing resource that can support a broad range of applications, from voice and video messaging and multiparty conferencing to prepaid services and network announcements. Because it is an open software architecture and utilizes industry-standard server platforms and standards-based IP protocols such as SIP and VoiceXML, the SnowShore IP Media Server can leverage the ongoing evolution of network architectures and processor technology to deliver a flexible media processing solution for next-generation IP applications.

Also at VON Canada, Brooktrout’s VP and CTO of Next Generation Communications, Eric Burger will present a session on “Media Servers” on April 21, from 3:30-4:45pm. For more information on VON Canada, visit www.voncanada.com
