NewMarket Technology, Inc. Partners with Digium, Inc., the Asterisk Company

DALLAS, TX--(Marketwire - June 27, 2007) - IP Global Voice Inc., the VoIP subsidiary of NewMarket Technology Inc. (OTCBB: NMKT), announces market and product expansion with Asterisk, the "open source" standard for telecommunications systems. The IP Global Voice, Inc. product line is marketed under the Xiptel brand name. IP Global Voice has entered into a contract with Digium, Inc., the Asterisk company and the original creator and primary developer of the industry's first open source telephony platform. IP Global Voice has earned the coveted "dCAP" certification from Digium, and is positioned as Digium's key certified partner located in Northern California.

IP Global Voice currently contributes approximately $10 million in annual profitable sales to NewMarket's overall revenue. Last year, NewMarket reported $77.6 million in annual revenue with $5 million in net income. The partnership with Digium can substantially accelerate the expansion of IP Global Voice's VoIP Small and Medium Business (SMB) market share.

Asterisk has many hundreds of motivated and qualified professionals and engineers contributing daily to its development. Unlike proprietary closed systems like Cisco, Avaya, Nortel, and Alcatel, which tend to be more expensive and less flexible, XIPTEL's focus on Asterisk lowers costs, and takes maximum advantage of the enormous flexibility built into the Asterisk ecosystem.

"IP Global Voice offers a wide range of hosted and premise based telephone services," said Peter Geddis, CEO for IP Global Voice. "Open source technologies and developments are changing the way businesses are built. From desk top applications to core systems including telephone and data network applications, the open source direction is taking off like wildfire. Virtually every major carrier and service provider has Asterisk working in their lab or in field tests. The large legacy companies know it's coming and they are desperately trying to figure out how to defend themselves. It's clearly a case of 'get on board or get out of the way.'"

Asterisk, coupled with other open source technologies, is a lower cost, highly flexible replacement for expensive software platforms, similar to the one on which the XIPTEL offering was originally launched. The old one will be replaced. This is not the company's first move in the open source direction. XCCP, XIPTEL's back office system designed and built internally from the ground up, is a high performance, easily scalable environment built entirely on proven open source technologies, using Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP. XCCP has been running XIPTEL's back office with key functions since early 2006.

Introducing the Digium TE420 - PCIe

Digium's TE420 PCI Express card provides termination of up to 60 channels of voice or data across four E1, T1, or J1 interfaces in a PCIe x1 form factor. Selectable on a per-port or per-card basis, the TE420 allows E1 and T1 circuits to be mixed with full channel synchronization. Supporting PCIe x1, the TE420 may be used in any available PCIe 1.0 compliant slot - 1x, x4, x8, and x16 without considerations for voltage selection or lane size.


The TE420 may be combined with Digium's VPMOCT128 Octasic DSP-based echo cancellation module (not shown in picture). The VPMOCT128 provides the G.168 algorithm which has been labeled a benchmark for echo cancellation and performs 128ms (1024 taps) of echo cancellation across all 128 channels in E1 mode or all 96 channels in T1/J1 modes. Bundled with the VPMOCT128, the product SKU is TE420B.

Digium has designed the TE420 to be fully compatible and integrated with Asterisk Business Edition, AsteriskNOW, and open source Asterisk.

The TE420 supports industry standard telephony protocols including North American and European Primary Rate signaling as well as standard Robbed Bit, Channel Associated Signaling in addition to standard PPP, HDLC, and Frame Relay data modes.

Digium® Launches Line of PCI Express Cards for Use with Asterisk®-

HUNTSVILLE, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Digium®, Inc., the Asterisk® company, today announced a new family of telephony interface cards based on the PCI Express (PCIe) format. PCIe is fast becoming the dominant form factor in expansion cards for server, workstation and desktop systems because it offers numerous performance benefits over traditional PCI and PCI Extended interface formats. Digium is rolling out PCIe cards across its full product family and will continue to support interface cards based on the PCI and PCI Extended formats.

Digium is the creator and driving force behind Asterisk, the open source voice communications software deployed by more than two million servers and serving well over 10 million people today. The company’s hardware, including the new PCIe cards, is designed to help customers realize the full power and flexibility of Asterisk by meeting precise requirements for scalability; network connectivity; and support for IP, traditional analog or mixed telephony lines.

“PCI Express is quickly becoming the industry preference for server and workstation interfaces for expansion cards,” said Bill Miller, vice president of product management and marketing at Digium. “Digium’s goal in offering a full line of PCIe cards, and in continuing to support PCI and PCI Extended formats, is to offer our customers and partners the widest array of choices in how they use and deploy Asterisk solutions.”

Digium’s four- and two-port digital T1 and E1 PCIe interface cards, the TE420 and TE220, eliminate voltage and slot considerations associated with standard PCI cards. They are available immediately from the company and its authorized resellers. The TE420 will retail for $1,195 USD and the TE220 for $695 USD. Both are compatible with Digium’s existing VPMOCT series of hardware echo cancellation modules. Digium is scheduled to release analog and other cards for PCI Express in Q2 and Q3 2007.

Vyatta and Digium Partner

For information on Asterisk hardware please visit - http://www.digiumcards.com

Vyatta and Digium, the Asterisk company, has entered a partnership to collaborate on open-source voice and data networks. Vyatta, a provider of open-source data communications, and Digium, an open-source voice communications provider, will work together to make it easier for customers to purchase, deploy, and maintain high-quality, integrated voice and data platforms, the companies said in a joint statement.

SMB and enterprise customers are increasingly seeking telecom and data communications solutions that are more flexible, efficient, and tailored to their specific needs. Open source-based products are uniquely capable of rapid integration and feature flexibility, making them an ideal choice as “unified communications” move up on the IT and business priority list.

The partnership involves both technology and marketing initiatives, and includes efforts to improve VoIP Quality of Service (QoS) and security features in both Digium and Vyatta products. The companies will also focus on making it easier for customers to install and configure a secure, integrated voice and data environment using Digium’s Asterisk and Vyatta’s open-source networking solutions that include routing, firewall, and VPN functionality.

“A partnership between Vyatta and Digium is a natural fit that will leverage our very complementary core competencies to enhance a common mission – to provide SMBs and enterprises with open-source alternatives to expensive and proprietary solutions,” said Bill Miller, vice president of marketing and business development at Digium.

“Voice over IP is now a mainstream technology, and we are poised to do the same with open-source networking,” said Dave Roberts, vice president of strategy and marketing at Vyatta. “By combining the efforts of Vyatta and Digium, the two technology leaders in our respective areas, and working together to expand our marketing reach, we can drive rapid adoption of our solutions.”

VoIP Providers to pay USF- Universal Service Fund

For more on VoIP Service Plans please visit us online @

http://www.digiumcards.com

Internet telephone companies like Vonage must contribute to the Universal Service Fund (USF), a federal appeals court ruled Friday afternoon. If VoIP providers follow the lead of local, long-distance and wireless services that already pay into the USF, the costs will be passed on to consumers.

The decision is limited to VoIP providers that interconnect with the public switched telephone network (PSTN). The USF subsidizes phone service in under-served and rural areas. Through the E-rate fund, the USF also subsidizes Internet connections in schools and libraries.

After the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) ruled last year VoIP providers were obligated to pay USF fees, Vonage challenged the decision. The Holmdel, N.J.-based company claimed the FCC exceeded its authority in the ruling, in addition to overestimating how much VoIP providers should pay.

"We conclude that the commission has statutory authority to require VoIP providers to make USF contributions," the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia wrote in its opinion.

As for the amount VoIP providers must pay, Vonage challenged the formula used by the FCC. Traditional telephone companies pay 11.7 percent of their long distance revenue into the fund. But since Internet calls can't be broken into local and long distance categories, the FCC set a "safe harbor" estimate of 64.9 percent for VoIP providers.

The FCC analogized the VoIP safe harbor with wireless companies, which pay 37.1 percent of their long distance revenues into the USF.

"Because VoIP's functionality and customer profile differ from those of other technologies, reasoning by analogy in this way invites some inevitable imprecision," the court ruled. "We agree with Vonage that this difference in capabilities renders the VoIP/wireline toll service analogy imperfect. Perfection, however, is not what the law requires."

Brooke Schulz, senior vice president for corporate communications at Vonage, insisted in a statement that Vonage supports expanding USF contributions to VoIP carriers. "Our case simply challenged the funding methodology, not the underlying concept of USF," Schulz said.

Last year, Medley Global Advisors estimated the FCC decision would add approximately $1.30 a month to each VoIP subscriber's bill.

"I am pleased that the court has affirmed the commission's action, which ensures that USF contribution obligations are administered in a competitively and technologically neutral manner on all phone providers, including interconnected Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) providers," FCC Chairman Kevin Martin said in a statement.

“We needed a reliable and flexible PBX platform that offered high-quality voice interactions for both our general business and contact center employees and have found that the Asterisk solution has delivered,” said Jamie Ryan, chief information officer at Aspect Software. ”The implementation was incredibly easy, the quality of the calls has been great and most importantly, Asterisk coupled with our unified contact center solution is the first step in our goal of creating a full fledged unified communications offering.”

Because of its SIP-based VoIP capabilities, the Asterisk Business Edition can readily interoperate with the company’s leading unified contact center solution, Aspect Unified IP, which provides the ACD, voice portal, recording and quality management capabilities to help the Aspect Technical Services organization manage its critical customer service interactions.

Aspect Software, a Digium partner, brings a unique perspective based on its extensive knowledge of open and closed source voice communications technology and unified communications. Aspect Software’s choice of Digium Asterisk for their corporate headquarters further demonstrates the quality of the open source solution and shows that businesses and their contact centers can easily leverage a VoIP infrastructure and experience the benefits of SIP-based solutions.”

Sangoma Fax over T1

Sangoma Solves Industry-Wide Fax Quality and Reliability Issue on T1/E1 Digital Phone Systems

Soft PBX Users With T1/E1 Lines Can Now Use Them For Reliable Faxing
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - June 4, 2007) - Sangoma Technologies Corporation (TSX VENTURE:STC) a leading provider of connectivity hardware and software products including VoIP, TDM voice, WANs and Internet infrastructure, has created the industry's first cost-effective solution supporting fax over PC-based T1/E1 digital phone systems.

Until now, users of Asterisk® and other PC-based systems with T1/E1 connections needed a separate external analog line at an additional cost if they wanted reliable fax service. Fax machines connected to a PBX using T1/E1 connections would run inconsistently at best because the analog interface supporting the fax machine was not synchronized with the PSTN timing.

"Sangoma's latest firmware revisions include an option for the analog card to receive its clocking from a T1/E1 card via a simple two-connector cable," says Sangoma Technologies' CEO David Mandelstam. "Because the T1/E1 card runs on the network clocking, the analog card that connects the fax machine to the network also becomes completely synchronized, allowing for perfect, error-free faxing without any of the glitches caused by imperfect timing.

"Fax connectivity remains an absolute requirement for businesses, especially for mission critical documents like legal contracts," adds Mandelstam. "This breakthrough allows larger offices to make proper use of the T1/E1 lines that they are paying for without having to purchase and manage additional analog capacity just to support faxing."

Sangoma's fax solution is software agnostic and works with any operating system or application, including Asterisk®, FreeSwitchTM, CallWeaverTM, OPALTM and YateTM. All T1/E1 cards with hardware echo cancellation shipping after June 1, 2007 will have synchronous fax support enabled. This solution also solves similar issues with modem transmission.
