BERN, Switzerland, October 16 /PRNewswire/ --

- The 2-BRI SmartNode(TM) 4554 reliably connects any IP-PBX to the ISDN 
PSTN, offering small businesses a high-quality user experience at 
unprecedented low cost.

- SmartNode(TM) VoIP... more than just talk

Patton-Inalp Networks-creator of the SmartNode(TM) brand of
industry-leading VoIP technology solutions- has expanded their VoIP CPE
product line with a rich-featured, very-low-cost 2-BRI PSTN VoIP Gateway.

Certified for interoperability with major IP-PBX vendors that include
3CX, Asterisk, PingTel, and others, the 4-call SmartNode(TM) 4554 BRI PSTN
Gateway connects any IP-PBX system to the ISDN PSTN via two BRIs. The SN4554
enhances the small-office user experience with such transparent ISDN features
as Explicit Call Transfer (ECT), Advice of Charge (AOC), Calling Line
Identification Presentation (CLIP) and Calling Line Identification
Restriction (CLIR).

"Along with reliability, interoperability is critical," said Ramon
Felder, President. "But it's more than economics. Who wants the headache of
fighting with an overpriced router, staying up half the night, forcing it
work with a standard IP-PBX? That's why all the big integrators-like IBM-love
us. SmartNode(TM) is the industry's most interoperable VoIP gateway."
Smiling, Mr. Felder adds, "A record-breaking price doesn't hurt either."

Listing at US$489, the Model SN4554 Gateway resets the low-cost benchmark
on VoIP CPE for small-business telephony systems. Compare a 4-call gateway
from AudioCodes, the model MP404, at US$853 MSRP.

Major enterprise deployments for SmartNode(TM) include a VoIP-over-VPN
Network with Secure, Encrypted Voice for a 1200-Site Retail Chain.

"It's another grand-slam," said Marco Liechti, product manager. "The
SmartNode(TM) 4554 covers all the bases ... industry-leading voice quality,
rich ISDN features, proven reliability, certified interoperability... plus
extremely competitive pricing. That's why 3CX is bundling their solution with
ours. And our batting average keeps rising. That's why vendors like Amris-IP,
SipFoundry, Communigate... they're all lining up to join our team."

It's not the first time Patton-Inalp has knocked it out of the park.
SmartNode(TM) credentials include INTERNET TELEPHONY(R) magazine's
product-of-the-year award in 2005 (SN4960 PRI Gateway) and 2006 (SN4630 BRI
Gateway), and the recent 2007 Excellence Award (SN4560 Voice-over-VPN
Router).

The Triple Play Alliance (Dormach, Germany) showcases Patton-Inalp's VoIP
CPE interoperating with solutions from 15 other hardware and software vendors
and service providers. During 23-25 October, the Triple Play Lab will host
the 2007 EMEA Channel Summit for Patton-Inalp's distributor and reseller
partners.
