DERRY, New Hampshire and COLOGNE, Germany, March 12 /PRNewswire/ --

Cedar Point Communications, a worldwide leader in integrated Voice over
IP (VoIP) switching technologies for service provider and enterprise
telecommunications, and NetCologne, one of the largest regional carriers in
Germany, today announced an agreement that marks a major milestone for Cedar
Point in Europe.

NetCologne is utilizing Cedar Point's SAFARI C(Cubed) Multimedia
Switching System for the delivery of VoIP throughout the Cologne region,
where NetCologne serves more than 500,000 customers today. The deployment
represents a significant expansion of Cedar Point's footprint in the German
and European markets, and follows the successful trial and simplified
integration of SAFARI C(Cubed) into the NetCologne network.

The agreement was finalized with NetCologne by Cedar Point Europe
Communications GmbH, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cedar Point Communications,
in cooperation with bridacom, a joint venture of Wilhelm Sihn Jr. GmbH & Co.
KG (WISI) and IET.HOLDING GmbH (IET). bridacom serves as a value-added
partner for Cedar Point Europe, providing sales, planning, delivery,
installation, integration, configuration and other technical services, as
well as significant business relationships in the European cable market
through its connections with WISI and IET.

"Although quality and reliability of service for our customers are our
highest priorities, it was also important that we have a solution that would
minimize integration and operational cost and complexity," said Karl Heinz
Zankel, managing director of NetCologne. "Throughout our trials, SAFARI
C(Cubed) consistently delivered the performance we require to provide our
customers with the best possible voice service."

"NetCologne has established a well-deserved reputation as a service
provider that values innovation and high levels of commitment to service
excellence," said Michael Brunsveld, vice president for Cedar Point Europe
Communications GmbH. "Together with bridacom, we look forward to helping
NetCologne achieve rapid success in their initial rollouts of VoIP, and to
working with them to deploy SIP-based business service offerings that will
generate new revenues in the future."
