Business Wire, March 14, 2006

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Convedia Corporation today announced that TELUS, a leading national telecommunications company in Canada, has deployed Convedia media servers in its IP-One(TM) Innovation service. IP-One Innovation is Canada's premiere carrier-grade Internet Protocol (IP) Telephony Service for business. Convedia media servers are a critical element of the solution, delivering IP media processing for a complete range of IP telephony services, including IP Centrex and VoIP teleconferencing.

With the continued growth and success of IP-One Innovation, TELUS required an IP media processing solution that could economically support its existing IP service volumes, with the flexibility to introduce new multimedia services in the future. Convedia IP media servers were selected because they successfully delivered the features, reliability and scalability to meet these requirements.

"TELUS IP-One Innovation service offers business customers a suite of innovative, productivity-enhancing services with real bottom-line benefits, while maintaining the reliability of traditional business telecommunication services," said Stephen Yung, director, IP Applications Development, TELUS. "Supporting carrier-class VoIP services requires a cost-efficient, scalable, and reliable IP media processing infrastructure that can be shared and reused across a multi-vendor IP application server environment. Convedia media servers deliver powerful IP media processing capabilities inside our core network, allowing TELUS to efficiently grow our IP-One Innovation service portfolio with the reliability expected by our business customers."

"TELUS is an established VoIP services provider with demanding requirements for network scalability, reliability, and economics," noted Peter Briscoe, Convedia's president and CEO. "As the VoIP market matures with a growing range of productivity-enhancing voice and video over IP telephony services, the requirement for a shared IP media processing resource in the network becomes critical for delivering both service reliability and economic value. We are pleased that TELUS has deployed Convedia media servers in the IP-One network, and we look forward to working with TELUS in the development and introduction of additional productivity-enhancing VoIP services for Canadian business customers."
