Press Release Summary = Ecotel VoIP takes 1st place in Add-ons category

Press Release Body = Ebermannstadt, Germany - October 19, 2006. Vierling's "Ecotel
VoIP" GSM gateway recently received the VoIPGermany award in the Add-ons category.
The German Association for Post, Information Technology and Telecommunications
(DVPT) grants this award for outstanding products in the VoIP sector. The award
ceremony took place at the annual VoIPGermany event in Frankfurt, Germany. This
trade show is organized by the DVPT in cooperation with the Frankfurt am Main
Chamber of Commerce and Industry and is the leading VoIP event in Germany.

A seal of quality for outstanding products
"The VoIPGermany award ceremony is the highlight of the annual VoIPGermany event
where outstanding products and solutions receive this noted seal of quality", said
Hans-Joachim Wolff, head of corporate consulting at the DVPT and the organizer of
VoIPGermany. "Ecotel VoIP impressed a top-notch jury of users and industry
specialists as well as an open jury including IT managers, specialized dealers and
engineers. The device received the VoIPGermany award as an add-on product in the
VoIP sector."

An innovative technology for a growing market
The jury's decision was based on their assessment of the product's technical and
commercial innovation as well as its business model. While Ecotel VoIP is new to the
market, it is considered to be the most powerful commercially available VoIP GSM
gateway, delivering maximum cost savings for all calls made via GSM, VoIP and ISDN.
"Vierling's Ecotel VoIP is so far a unique product in a growing market", noted Anton
Glöckner, head of Vierling's Mobile Communication product line. "With this gateway,
we are targeting companies that have already fully adopted VoIP as well as those
that are just now getting interested in cutting their telephone costs with VoIP. The
device is currently available in Germany as well as in more than 40 countries around
the globe."

Ecotel VoIP helps reduce telephone costs
Ecotel VoIP can be connected via a LAN to a soft PBX or via an IP or BRI connection
to an existing ISDN PBX. The gateway combines integrated GSM modules and its own
antenna with an assortment of SIM cards to make cost-effective mobile to mobile
calls in place of more expensive fixed line to mobile calls. Eight simultaneous
SIP-based VoIP connections and cost-effective ISDN connections are also possible.
The gateway will always select the most cost-effective routing. Using Ecotel VoIP at
a company's international offices will significantly reduce the bill for
international calls. This is true particularly when mobile radio networks and
roaming charges are involved.
