Los Angeles, Sept. 17, 2007 — CTI LABS announced today that its CoolSwitchIP® has been named a winner of a “Best of Show” Award at INTERNET TELEPHONY® Conference and EXPO West 2007. TMC reports that the conference was attended by over 6,800 people at the Convention Center in Los Angeles from September 10-12, 2007.

“CoolSwitchIP® comes with many Next Generation Network functions in a single box, such as high-density Media Gateway with Least Cost Routing, Softswitch with SS7/C7 Signaling, Transcoding Gateway, Session Controller, and Prepaid/Postpaid Billing system.” says Rolf Unger, CTO of CTI LABS. “Our global development team has invested heavily in developing a tightly integrated solution to address the needs of Service Providers and Wholesale Carriers.”

Yong Chun, CEO of CTI LABS adds “We are very proud that after successful market introduction in Europe and Asia Pacific, where 1st tier Carriers and NASDAQ-listed corporations already use our equipment, we have been recognized as an emerging market player in the US. We will continue to implement our strategy to replace Legacy Switches and multi-chassis VoIP solutions. Customers that run several different media gateways or legacy switches have already experienced the benefits of a more integrated solution”.

“CTI LABS and their innovative product CoolSwitchIP® are a standout indication of why so many enterprise buyers, resellers and service providers flock to INTERNET TELEPHONY® Conference & EXPO,” said TMC President and Conference Chairman, Rich Tehrani. “Their innovation and commitment to quality attracted many serious prospects to their booth. Attendees knew they'd find solutions in the CTI LABS’ booth that would help them in the highly competitive Telecoms market today.”

The Best of Show awards are presented to companies unveiling the most impressive new products or new releases at the show. Each winner displayed and demonstrated their product on the INTERNET TELEPHONY® Expo show floor.

CTI LABS is a leading German Softswitch manufacturer with over 8 years of market presence in Europe and Asia. Its flag ship products CoolSwitch® and HotBilling® are the ideal choices for NGN deployments, from cost-effective, entry-level platforms to large-scale systems of up to 512 T1/E1s**, 15,000 simultaneous calls, and 10 m. subscribers. Major benefits include upgrades to advanced VoIP features, downsizing footprint in costly data centers, and conserving existing SS7/C7 quality connectivity.

CoolSwitch® also delivers significant economic benefits, such as reduced operational costs from lower power consumption and simplified management through easy-to-use graphical user interfaces. These can generate rapid ROI. For example, a saving of 4 kWatt electricity can pay for a CoolSwitch that can serve approximately 20,000 subscribers. (Please contact us for details.)

Turnkey solutions can be delivered within four weeks of specification freeze. The CoolXS® is an NGN IP DSLAM Access node for last mile Service Providers and IPTV Operators. CTI LABS equipment has been used to replace Legacy Switches from major vendors (Alcatel S®, Ericsson AXE®, Nortel DMS®, Siemens EWSD®) in recent years.

CTI LABS’ headquarters are in Karlsruhe (Germany), with affiliates in the UK, Seoul (Korea), and Hong Kong. CTI LABS is an associate member of CompTel in the US, ECTA (European Competitive Telecoms Association) in Europe, and PITA (Pacific Islands Telecoms Association) in Fiji. Mr. Yong Chun (CEO) is a known speaker at Telecoms conferences on NGN and VoIP economics. A representative office will be opened in San Jose and Los Angeles, CA soon.
