Santa Clara, CA, October 8, 2007 - RHUB Communications, Inc.
(RHUB), a premier provider of Web conferencing solutions, announced the
expansion of its channel program with the addition of three U.S.-based channel
partners: Central Desktop (www.centraldesktop.com), Packetel (www.packetel.com),
and AbiTeq (www.abiteq.com). All three partners are seizing the opportunity to
increase revenue by offering RHUB's hosted Web conferencing solution,
TurboMeeting-Hosted. With TurboMeeting-Hosted, users can host meetings with
different organizations around the world, regardless of firewall and software
installation policies. The one and only requirement is the ability to browse the
Internet. |

The market for Web conferencing products and services
is projected to grow from $1billion in 2006 to close to $1.5 billion by
2010, according to Andy Nilssen, Senior Analyst & Partner with Wainhouse
Research. "Fueling this growth is the expansion of web conferences beyond
scheduled to ad-hoc meetings," said Nilssen. "This requires users to have
access to a web conferencing resource that is on tap at all times with
little-to-no incremental cost per use. RHUB\'s TurboMeeting fits this model
well. |

TurboMeeting-Hosted elevates Web conferencing by its
unique ability to support both fully interactive and view only attendees in
the same meeting, between PC and Mac. With TurboMeeting, users can share
information from one computer or among many. Users can also remotely control
and support other computers and access one computer from another.
TurboMeeting extends real-time collaboration beyond conventional Web
conferencing solutions by combining multiple applications:
- Web Conferencing: Web-based interactive meetings
- Remote Access: remote access to computers at home or office from anywhere,
anytime
- Web Seminars: non-download results in quick (in seconds), easy (URL only)
and the most reliable way for large groups of attendees to join
meetings

"The primary factor driving RHUB's channel expansion
into the hosted market segment is the ease of integration and branding
inherent in RHUB xml based approach," said Larry Dorie, CEO of RHUB
Communications. "This in turn is motivating channel partners to integrate
Web conferencing with complementary offerings." |
| |
"We really like the interactivity and Mac support
that TurboMeeting provides," said George Allen, Director of AbiTeq. "Web
meetings are quick and easy to start, practical for one-on-one discussions,
and ready to use for formal presentations to very large groups. Unlike many
competitive products that we tested, TurboMeeting works effortlessly and
trouble-free in nearly all network environments, and has performed
flawlessly - even when running over slow bandwidths in remote parts of the
world. TurboMeeting offers options for unlimited meetings at a very
reasonable cost. Affordable Web meetings have finally arrived." |
| |
RHUB recently introduced a new version of the
Company's TurboMeeting software - TurboMeeting 3.2 - with upgrades designed
to provide new opportunities for channel partners. TurboMeeting 3.2 includes
enhancements to its "View Only" and "Resize Image" functions to improve both
performance and ease of use. The "View Only" mode enables attendees to
immediately join meetings in non-interactive mode, assuring rapid universal
access with no download required. Meeting participants that need interactive
access can also utilize "View Only" mode by performing a simple download.
The "Resize Image" maps large screens to the resolution of the attendee
system, automatically optimizing the meeting graphics. |

"We are truly impressed by the lightning fast "View
Only" mode that RHUB's TurboMeeting 3.2 provides," said Frank Tam, CEO of
Packetel. "With its zero installation, browser-based application and speedy
performance, we are proud to feature TurboMeeting 3.2 as our new Packetel's
Web conferencing Service in our reputable product line." |
| |
"The new update is great," said Isaac Garcia, CEO of
Central Desktop. "With its perfect screen scaling, TurboMeeting has become a
much better hosted Web conferencing solution than anything else we have
seen." |
