Sangoma Technologies Corporation (TSX VENTURE:STC), a leading provider of
hardware and software components that enable or enhance IP Communications
Systems for both voice and data, announced the general availability of the Vega
Enterprise SBC Series and the NetBorder(TM) Carrier SBC (Session Border
Controller) products. The announcement was made from the ITEXPO Miami 2013
Conference and Exhibition, taking place at the Miami Beach Convention Center in
Miami Beach, Florida. The highly-scalable line of SBC solutions includes
stand-alone devices and solutions for implementation in Virtual Machine (VM)
environments.


Sangoma introduced four new SBC models at ITEXPO. The first model, the Vega
Enterprise SBC, is a rack-mountable 1u appliance that scales to provide 25 to
500 SIP sessions and includes Sangoma's high-performance hardware-based
transcoding engine to ensure maximum session capacity under any load condition.
The second model, the Vega Enterprise SBC VM/Software, is a fully-compiled
software application suitable for operation in a standard VM environment. The
Vega Enterprise SBC VM/Software supports from 25 to 200 sessions and leverages
the high-reliability, operational flexibility, and hardware redundancy inherent
in a VM environment to deliver unparalleled IP-to-IP security and performance.


"The Vega Enterprise SBC VM/Software product was very simple to deploy in our VM
environment, and is the first SBC we've identified to support one-hundred
percent of the features of our IP-PBX," said Chris Rawlings, chief executive
officer of BlueCloud Consultants, a prominent provider of VoIP services and IT
consulting in the Mid-Atlantic region. "Sangoma's reputation for quality and
support was certainly proven in our experience. In addition, the pricing and
licensing models ensure that we provide the highest-quality and reliability to
our customers at a very competitive price."


For deployments requiring more capacity and greater flexibility, the Vega
Enterprise SBC VM/Hybrid, the third member of Sangoma's SBC family, is a unique
platform that includes scalable session capacity from 25 to 4000 sessions, and
ensures high performance by routing all media connections through an external
hardware-based transcoding resource. The Hybrid solution takes advantage of all
of the benefits of a VM environment, with all SBC functionality being performed
by the VM instantiation, without placing unnecessary load on the processor with
CPU-intensive transcoding operations.


"The entire Sangoma SBC series is developed for efficient deployment and scaling
by the end user," said Simon Horton, director of product management for Sangoma.
"The licensing model is based solely on SIP sessions, and is fully
field-upgradeable without interruption of service. There are no per-feature,
per-user, or codec license fees from Sangoma that can inflate the TCO in other
SBC products in the market. We anticipate that this highly deterministic cost
model will appeal to many businesses that are acutely aware of operational
expenses - particularly in the current global economic situation."


According to Infonetics Research principal analyst Diane Myers, rapid expansion
in the enterprise SBC market is fueling interest in unique solutions that
address key business needs including operational efficiency and security. 


"The Sangoma approach that provides a consistent web-based management GUI
throughout the product line, enables enterprises already using a VM architecture
to integrate SBC functions within the existing operating environment, and
incorporates transcoding capabilities right in the box, should engender interest
from the enterprise space both in North America and in the company's target
international markets," noted Myers.


The NetBorder Carrier SBC is designed to address the operational needs of wide
area carriers, including traditional ISPs, as well as SIP Trunking and cloud
services providers. This hardened 1u rack-mounted chassis includes optional
redundant AC or DC power supplies, a RAID 1 solid state drive, and supports from
400 to 4000 unique sessions with hardware-based transcoding. A linear-cost
session licensing model ensures predictable cost modeling, and the NetBorder
Carrier SBC provides unmatched session capacity in a 1u footprint.


"The Vega and NetBorder SBC solutions are built to be highly cost-effective
workhorses in both the carrier and enterprise markets," continued Horton. "The
incorporation of Sangoma's high-performance transcoding engine augments the
fundmental security capabilities that everyone expects from any SBC, to deliver
a unique and efficient solution that can grow to meet the demands of nearly any
implementation."


Sangoma's industry-leading solution portfolio enables the interworking of a wide
variety of disparate TDM and IP networks, clouds, protocols, services, devices,
and applications. Its portfolio includes award-winning voice and data boards,
