Press Release Body: Ottawa Ontario, Sept 29, 2008 - Excelocity Inc., a leading
developer of embedded Voice/Video gateways for telecom vendors is demonstrating it’s
new XL- Gateway Framework Software Development Tool Kit at Broadband World Forum. It
is launching the new product in conjunction with its partners Mindspeed and Zarlink.

“We are pleased to be launching our new software product” said Goutam Shaw Founder
and President of Excelocity Inc. “The universal nature of our XL-Gateway Framework
via its adaptor modules allows us and/or our customers to quickly customize and
develop a portfolio of Gateway solutions using a variety of 3rd party hardware and
software platforms.”

The Excelocity XL-Gateway Framework introduces a new class of open SDK for the
development of embedded Multimedia (Voice/Video) gateways. It significantly reduces
the product development costs from multi-millions of dollars to hundreds of
thousands and the time to market from years to months. The XL Gateway Framework
presents a modular, highly scalable architecture with high level APIs for Call,
Media, Signaling and OAMP control. Available for both embedded Linux and VxWorks
platforms, it has been pre-integrated with 3rd party SIP, ISDN and CAS protocol
stacks and provides the multimedia path and call control for all combinations of
FXS, FXO, ISDN, CAS and SIP calls over PSTN, LAN and WAN networks. The framework
provides powerful APIs that remove the complexity of managing the underlying
hardware resources and enable designers to easily build Next Generation services and
applications.

The Carrier-class XL-Gateway Framework Software Development Frameworks modular
design allows it to be quickly integrated with custom hardware platforms to
accelerate application development. It has been integrated with the reference HW
platform containing Mindspeed’s Comcerto® 300 Series Media Stream Processor and
Zarlink’s VoiceEdge Control Processor 2 (VCP2) and the Next Generation Carrier Chip
set (NGCC). The combination of Excelocity’s XL-Gateway software, Mindspeed’s DSP
and Zarlink’s NGCC devices will now provide telecom and enterprise VoIP equipment
vendors with fully functional, highly scalable hardware and software gateway
reference designs. These can be used for integrating VoIP gateways into MSANs,
IP-DSLAMs, MTU/MDUs, IP-PBXs, and Multimedia routers.

The combined solution is currently running on the integrated Mindspeed Comcerto 300
evaluation boards, which are connected to Zarlink’s long-loop, high-performance
VoiceEdge VE790 and next-generation VE792 NGCC SLIC/SLAC Evaluation boards – all
under the control of the Excelocity Gateway Framework. This combination has been
bench tested for a 72 port MDU application, which is expected to be an attractive
new high capacity solution for the European and Asian markets.

“We are excited to work with Excelocity for offering a combined call and media
gateway solution,” said Kurt Michel, director of marketing for carrier VoIP products
at Mindspeed. “The ability of Excelocity’s call and media control framework to
easily integrate IP and TDM signaling protocol stacks such as SIP and ISDN or CAS
with customer-specific software is a perfect complement for our Comcerto 300 Series
family. Through our integrated solution, we now offer our joint customers all of
the elements and expertise necessary to implement a successful media gateway
solution.”

“Excelocity has been instrumental in working with us on new applications for our
next generation VE792 series high density SLIC/SLAC chips” said Shahin Sadeghi,
segment marketing manager for carrier-class products for Zarlink. “They have built
a number of solutions, including XL-Gateway Framework with our chip sets and we will
be working closely with them and our joint customers on deploying the next
generation of high density solutions like those for MDU copper or fiber-based
applications.”

With Excelocity’s XL-Gateway Framework and the robust hardware platforms of its
partners, equipment vendors have a clear starting point for developing their highly
robust and scalable embedded gateway solutions. A live demonstration of the
combined reference solution will be shown at the Zarlink booth at the Broadband
World Forum in Belgium from September 30 to October 2. Contact Excelocity for
additional information.
