Press Release Summary: Roadshows and technical training for dealers to follow

Press Release Body: Ebermannstadt, Germany - March 13, 2008. Vierling and Aastra
DeTeWe have successfully completed testing of the Ecotel ISDN GSM gateways in
Vierling's Ecotel ISDN series in conjunction with OpenCom PBXs from Aastra DeTeWe.
This process allows the manufacturers to ensure compatibility between their systems
so that mutual customers can easily deploy Vierling Ecotel ISDN GSM gateways and
Aastra DeTeWe OpenCom PBXs together. A joint marketing campaign including roadshows
and technical training sessions for specialized dealers and systems houses is
planned as a follow-up to the test process. Vierling plans to continue expanding its
cooperative efforts with the world's leading manufacturers of PBXs in the future.

OpenCom PBXs exhibit outstanding tolerance
"The tests we performed with OpenCom PBXs from Aastra DeTeWe were very impressive",
said Bernhard Emmert, team leader in Vierling's development unit. "With certain PBXs
from different manufacturers, special synchronization settings are sometimes
required. However, the Aastra DeTeWe systems are so tolerant that such measures were
generally not needed." To support technicians when setting up and configuring Ecotel
ISDN GSM gateways, Vierling and Aastra DeTeWe compiled the results of their tests in
an installation sheet that includes related technical information and installation &
configuration tips. Vierling installation sheets can be downloaded from the Vierling
website for all of the popular brands of PBXs.


Added value with solutions from the quality and technology leader
"We think that Ecotel ISDN GSM gateways from Vierling represent an outstanding
addition to our OpenCom PBXs", said Thomas Stephan, head of product management at
Aastra DeTeWe, Germany. "Vierling GSM gateways help our customers to significantly
reduce the cost of making calls to mobile radio networks. These tests were intended
to ensure that our customers will have access to a solution that is fast to deploy
from the quality and technology leader in GSM gateways." Vierling and Aastra DeTeWe
also launched a joint marketing campaign to let their customers know about the added
value obtained by combining Ecotel ISDN GSM gateways and Aastra DeTeWe OpenCom PBXs.
A roadshow is planned in Germany in the summer for specialized dealers and systems
houses.

Technology partnerships for long-term success
Vierling likes to make it as easy as possible for dealers and systems houses to work
with Ecotel GSM gateways. The company emphasizes ongoing compatibility tests with
leading PBX manufacturers along with joint technical training and comprehensive
installation support. "At Vierling, quality means delivering solutions that have
been 100% tested and are dependable and easy to get up and running", said Wolfgang
Peter, managing director of Vierling. "Ongoing tests with leading manufacturers are
an important component of our strategy for long-term success."
