Infonetics Research Reports That Cantata’s Family of Media Processing Solutions Propel Company to Leadership Position in Highly Competitive Media Server Market

NEEDHAM, Mass., June 14, 2006 -- Cantata Technology™, the world’s leading independent provider of enabling communications technology, announced today that Infonetics Research, an international market research and consulting firm, has named it the media server market share leader for Q1 2006 in its “Service Provider Next Generation Voice and IMS Equipment Market Forecast.”

Cantata Technology was established in 2006 through the combination of Excel Switching Corporation and Brooktrout Technology®. The combined company offers a wide-range of media processing solutions, including the award-winning SnowShore IP Media Server™ and Excel Converged Services Platform (CSP), that collectively have propelled Cantata to the lead position in the Infonetics report.

Cantata’s SnowShore IP Media Server is the industry’s premiere software-based, carrier-grade IP media server supported by a wide range of industry standard hardware platforms running on Red Hat Linux, and powering a broad range of innovative multimedia services for next-generation wireline, wireless and broadband networks including the 3GPP/3GPP2 IP Multimedia System (IMS) network architecture.

Cantata’s Excel CSP 2090 is a carrier-grade converged services platform that also provides media server solutions for IP based voice applications such as conferencing and prepaid services, and can bridge existing wired and wireless networks with next-generation IP networks, integrating protocols for IP (SIP and H.323), TDM (SS7, PRI, and R2), mobility, and IN. From unified messaging to web-based services, the CSP 2090 is the ideal solution for carrier-class enhanced services.

“Cantata’s ranking at the top of Infonetics’ Q1 media sever market share report is testament to the worldwide market traction and acceptance of the company’s media processing solutions,” said Marc Zionts, chief executive officer, Cantata Technology. “The popularity and adoption of the SnowShore IP Media Server is driven by the industry’s most advanced IP-based software architecture for the rapid deployment of current and evolving network architectures such as IMS. The CSP 2090 success can be attributed to an open programmable architecture that can expedite time to market, reduce costs, increase revenues, and protect the carrier’s investment.”

“Research indicates that there will be a strong drive toward offering IP multimedia and softswitch-based Class 5 services, resulting in strong adoption of media servers to support these services,” said Stéphane Téral, Directing Analyst, Service Provider Next Gen Voice and Mobile Core , Infonetics Research. “Cantata, with its wide range of enabling media processing solutions is well-positioned to remain a leading, major player in this market.”
