Convedia recognized for leadership in enhanced services products with SUPERQuest award at SUPERCOMM 2003

Atlanta, GA., June 4, 2003 - SUPERCOMM 2003 - Convedia Corporation, a leading provider of open, standards-based IP Media Servers, was honored yesterday at SUPERCOMM’s 6th Annual SUPERQuest Awards Ceremony with a prestigious SUPERQuest Most Promising Network Technologies award. Convedia’s Media Servers with Advanced Speech Recognition took top honors in the Application Layer Systems and Technologies category.

For six years, the SUPERQuest Awards have honored the best-built networks and most promising new technologies among SUPERCOMM exhibitors and their customers worldwide. SUPERQuest Award recipients have been selected as the best of the best in delivering exceptional network design, supporting technologies and products across all facets of the communications infrastructure industry. Winners are chosen by a panel of judges which include industry leading technology press, analysts and other experts.

"The SUPERQuest award is a tremendous honor for the entire Convedia team and is a great validation, on an industry-wide level, for our company and products," said Peter Briscoe, President and CEO of Convedia. "We are pleased that the judges recognized the promise and value that Convedia’s solutions bring to wireline and wireless service providers, and we thank the judges, TIA and USTA for the award."

Convedia’s award winning family of carrier class IP Media Servers reduce capital and ongoing operational costs by consolidating the functions of traditional announcement servers, interactive voice response units (IVR/VRU), conference bridges, messaging equipment, and speech platforms onto a single shared media processing platform. Convedia’s media servers are controlled by application servers and softswitches through open control protocols such as SIP, VoiceXML, MGCP and PacketCable NCS.

According to Jack Chalden, general manager of SUPERCOMM, "The strength and resiliency of this industry is reflected in the SUPERQuest Award Winners and Runners-Up. These forward-thinking, innovative companies give promise to the continuing growth and development of this industry and show us exactly where we should be headed in the future."

Convedia’s CMS-1000 and CMS-6000 Media Servers are being demonstrated through Thursday at Supercomm 2003 in Hall B, Booth #20847.
