Enunciate Conferencing Deploys Convedia Media Servers
for a Broad Range of IP Conferencing Services

Scalability, flexibility, and rapid return on investment attract
Enunciate to Convedia's industry-leading IP Media Servers

VANCOUVER, Canada – February 24, 2004

To Enunicate ConferencingConvedia® Corporation, the leading provider of IP media processing platforms, today announced that its CMS-6000 Media Server has been selected by Enunciate Conferencing, a premier provider of web, video, and teleconferencing services. Convedia’s Media Servers are part of a comprehensive solution that includes advanced conferencing software from Spectel, the market-leading provider of integrated conferencing solutions. The Spectel/Convedia IP conferencing solution will be used to service Enunciate’s business customers around the globe.

“Conferencing service providers are faced with a double edge sword in the increasingly competitive market for collaborative communications,” said Marc Beattie, Senior Analyst of Wainhouse Research. “Rapidly growing demand is driving expansion of their conference bridge capacity, while at the same time market forces are putting pressure on them to reduce operating and infrastructure costs to improve bottom line performance. Enunciate is addressing these trends by capping their investment in proprietary TDM bridges, and migrating to more cost-effective IP conferencing technologies. Companies like Spectel and Convedia who offer next generation IP conferencing solutions are not only delivering lower conferencing costs for their customers, but also offer the platform extensibility and openness essential for creating new, innovative revenue generating capabilities.”

The Spectel / Convedia conferencing solution is designed to provide full featured attended, unattended, reservation-less, and mobile conferencing services on a scalable, IP-optimized platform with rich web conferencing and powerful recording and playback capabilities. The fully integrated conferencing solution provides Enunciate with an attractive return on investment by leveraging the price-performance benefits of IP, while offering Enunciate’s subscribers the ultimate in cost-effective, feature-rich business teleconferencing services.

“We looked closely at a broad range of IP Media Server companies and quickly concluded that Convedia has become the clear leader in IP media processing technology,” said James Baskin, Vice President of Operations for Enunciate Conferencing. “Convedia’s Media Servers will allow Enunciate to seamlessly scale with our subscriber’s continually growing demand for conferencing services. Convedia’s multi-service capabilities, and strong partnerships with industry leading application developers like Spectel, will provide Enunciate with an IP-based service delivery platform for rapid deployment of new and enhanced services.”

Convedia’s CMS-6000 Media Server provides industry-leading IP media processing features for next-generation conferencing applications including n-way audio bridging, loudest n mixing, codec transcoding, automatic gain control, current speaker notification as well as recording and playback capabilities. Spectel’s feature-rich conferencing applications – supporting the broadest range of conferencing capabilities – control Convedia’s CMS-6000 media servers using industry standard SIP and XML interfaces. By embracing open standard interfaces, companies such as Enunciate can now rapidly integrate best-in-class conferencing applications with best-in-class IP media processing platforms to deliver market-leading solutions to their customers.

“Enunciate is an impressive, high growth organization and we are excited to be a key element in their IP services strategy,” said Peter Briscoe, president and CEO of Convedia. “Convedia’s IP media servers, in conjunction with Spectel’s industry-leading application suite, allow Enunciate to support a broad range of enhanced services and we are delighted to be contributing to Enunciate’s innovative service offerings and future success.”
