NWK Network Equip Tech

Quintum Technologies, an innovator in VoIP technologies and a subsidiary of Network Equipment Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: NWK), announced today that their new T1/E1/PRI and 4 port FXS Response Point Gateways were awarded the Best of Show, Best SMB Solution, at the INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO (ITEXPO) in Los Angeles last week.

The ITEXPO Best of Show Award recognizes innovative products and solutions that were featured in the Exhibit Hall during the event. This designation serves to highlight the technological achievement and creative product features that set these winners apart from the rest of the crowd. INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine editorial staff evaluated the pre-show nominations, and met with vendors to inspect and review the displayed products on the first day of the expo.

Under an agreement with Microsoft, Quintum designed analog and digital gateways that will work with any Response Point-based IP telephony system, offering small and medium businesses the ability to deploy VoIP throughout their network with IP PBX telephony advantages. The Quintum analog Response Point gateway is automatically discovered and configured by the Response Point application so it is very easy to install with any Response Point-based phone system. The T1/E1/PRI gateway uses the same auto discovery and configuration capability along with a simple Response Point customized configuration wizard to provide a simple step-by-step set-up.

"Quintum has always exceeded the bar of excellence when developing their products," said TMC President and Conference Chairman, Rich Tehrani. "Now, with Microsoft and Response Point, they have capitalized on the functionality that enterprises have enjoyed for years, and designed them into a gateway that SMBs can easily and cost-effectively use."

"We are thrilled that Quintum's efforts have been recognized," said Xuedong Huang, general manager of Microsoft Response Point. "They have worked closely with the Microsoft team to design an easy-to-use interface and quality product that assures a hassle-free experience for customers using Response Point systems with the Quintum gateways."

"Today, small businesses, like their larger counterparts, need sophisticated telephony systems, but are constrained by both financial and technical resources," said Chuck Rutledge, Vice President of Marketing for NET/Quintum. "Together, Microsoft Response Point and Quintum have created a unique gateway solution that is consistent with the Response Point philosophy of being easy to set up and manage, and inexpensive to own."

Quintum has created a microsite in which all new Response Point information can be found. The microsite can be found at: http://www.quintum.com/responsepoint.
