EATONTOWN, NJ June 30th, 2005 Quintum Technologies, a leading innovator in VoIP technology, today announced an alliance with Unified Communications, an award-winning provider of signaling solutions for the telecommunications industry, to support Signaling System 7 (SS7) on Quintum Tenorr Carrier MultiPath Switch (CMS) and DX product lines. Unified's SS7 Signaling Gateway, coupled with Quintum's VoIP solutions is designed to be an easy and cost-effective way to deliver high-quality voice services over IP networks.

SS7 is an international telecommunications standard which enables telephone calls to be set up more efficiently and reliably. Unified Communications' SS7 Signaling Gateway is a product that provides seamless integration of communications equipment into an existing SS7 telecommunications network.

Providing the functionality required to support applications such as Wholesale VoIP Termination, Tandem Switching, IP Local Access Services and Calling Card Services, Quintum's Tenorr DX and CMS products support H.323, SIP, intelligent call routing, TDM switching and QoS all-in-one solution. The Tenorr DX supports up to 4 T1/E1/PRI trunks, whilst the Tenorr CMS supports up to 32 T1/E1/PRI trunks.

The SS7 Signalling Gateway supports multiple Quintum Tenorr VoIP switches over the IP network, thus creating an efficient method for service providers to support SS7 in their VoIP networks.

Highlighting the significance of this deal, Mr Wong Tze Leng, CEO of Unified Communications, said, "We have been working on SS7 signaling for more than six years and have a strong base of technical competency in this area. Our SS7 Signaling Gateway is a flexible, high performance and cost effective solution that can work seamlessly with Quintum's Tenorr CMS and DX product lines without any change in hardware."

"As part of our agreement with Quintum, we will be introducing the SS7 Signaling Gateway to Quintum's global network of resellers and distributors, who will be able to integrate the products to provide a complete VoIP solution that supports SS7 to their customers. This deal not only strengthens our existing relationship with Quintum, but will also boost our existing distribution network," added Mr. Wong.

"Recognizing the growing popularity of SS7 signaling in the modern international traffic market, this collaboration with Unified Communications will allow us to compete well in the market for VoIP solutions that require SS7 signaling. Together with our own Analog/R2/ISDN offering, we will have most, if not all, major signaling protocols used in today's telephone network to offer our customers," said Mr. Cheng Chen, CEO of Quintum.

Unified Communications' SS7 Signaling Gateway is available now via selected Quintum certified channel partners.
