GAITHERSBURG, Maryland, June 3 /PRNewswire/ --

- For SMEs invested in analog PBX and POTS telephony equipment, Patton's 
reduced pricing places the stability and interoperability of carrier-class 
SmartNode(TM) VoIP within budgetary reach

Patton (www.patton.com) -- the leader in business and carrier-class
network access, connectivity, Voice-over-IP and triple-play equipment --
announces reduced pricing on all FXS models of the SmartNode(TM) 4110 VoIP
Gateway Series effective 1 June 2009.

Expected to stimulate the analog VoIP gateway market, Patton's lower
prices reflect an average decrease of 20 to 40 percent for distributors,
resellers and end-user customers.

In spite of the current economic crisis, the lower pricing makes the
stability and interoperability of Patton's high-end, carrier-class SmartNode
VoIP equipment affordable for small to medium enterprises (SMEs).

According to Burton A. Patton, Executive Vice President, "Recent
technology and process innovations at Patton have brought substantial
cost-savings in our analog gateway production. Over the years our customers
have stood by us through all the economic storms. During the present global
economic downturn, it makes perfect sense to pass our savings along to those
who have sustained our business through those other tough times."

By installing SmartNode(TM) FXS gateways, businesses can realize the
cost-saving and technology benefits of IP telephony while preserving their
investments in traditional analog voice systems and extending the useful life
of existing POTS telephony equipment.

Manufactured at Patton's USA headquarters and providing 2, 4 or 8 analog
FXS ports, the high-performance SmartNode(TM) 4110 series connects
traditional analog POTS PBX equipment and phones to the IP telephony network
and the PSTN.

Patton is currently developing a mid-density analog VoIP gateway product
line for SMEs that provides 12 to 24 FXS ports. Patton expects to release the
low-cost, high-performance SmartNode 4400 series during Q3 2009.

Patton marked their silver anniversary on 1 January 2009 and named a new
CEO the same day.
