Viseon Chooses Bleck Design Group for Next Generation VisiFone Consumer VOIP Device

Business Wire, Nov 3, 2004

DALLAS -- Viseon, Inc. (OTCBB:VSNI), a global developer of broadband personal video communications solutions, today announced that it had retained Bleck Design Group for the industrial and mechanical design of its next generation VisiFone(TM) broadband videophone. Bleck has created numerous award winning product designs for business and consumer communications. These include the Polycom SoundStation, the world's best selling speakerphone and the Polycom ViewStation, the highest selling corporate video conferencing system in history. Bleck's design for the AMX Mini-Tilt multi-media controller was also awarded the prestigious Best of Show product award at the Consumer Electronics Show.

"We are honored to work with Bleck Design Group to create an entirely new consumer communications category. Bleck's history of designing "company creating" products is well documented," commented John Harris, Viseon president and CEO. "While the next generation VisiFone will have elements inherent in a video communications device, we intend for it to do far more for consumers than just great two-way video communications."

The Viseon VisiFone is being designed to enhance the Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) experience for consumers. It will offer a number of innovative new features for consumer use of VOIP from cable companies, telephone companies and independent VOIP marketers marketing the next generation of consumer telephony. Before our next generation VisiFone, VOIP services have primarily been marketed on price and features of the VOIP providers service offerings. Viseon believes our new VisiFone will change the value equation and consumer perception of VOIP. It will offer consumers not only the world's finest home telephone instrument and two-way video telephony anywhere in the world, but should also enable consumers to more easily utilize the features unique to VOIP offerings from any provider.

Yankee Group forecasts that the U.S. consumer VOIP market will experience dramatic growth with subscribers reaching 17.5 million in 2008 from less than one million today.

James Bleck, CEO of Bleck Design Group stated, "The VisiFone will empower an entirely new era in consumer communications. Broadband Internet connectivity makes VOIP possible and the VisiFone revolutionizes the use of VOIP and makes it consumer friendly."
