TelTel Launches SVNO Program Enabling Service Providers
To Provide IP Telephony Without Building Own Infrastructure

Managed backbone allows partners to provide co-branded VoIP + multimedia

SANTA CLARA, CA – September 12, 2005 – TelTel, a provider of SIP-based global Internet telephony with presence-enabled features, today announced the launch of the TelTel SIP Virtual Network Operators (SVNO) Partnership Program. The program will enable ISPs, ITSPs, CLECs, carriers and other Internet service and content providers to offer SIP-based telephony and multimedia services without having to build their own SIP infrastructure. Partnered service providers will also be able to leverage the Public SIP Telephone Network (PsipTN), a network backbone and turnkey solution operated by TelTel.

TelTel’s SVNO Partnership Program is ideal for service providers that are seeking an immediately available total solution for rapid penetration into the VoIP marketplace. Partners will be able to either provide VoIP as an independent service or an additional value-added service bundled with existing offerings.

For a one time fee and future revenue sharing opportunities, the program includes access to the proven PsipTN platform, SIP termination and origination, a feature-rich softphone available for partner customization, full integration with the partner’s existing operation and customization with legacy network. SVNO partners will be able to deliver conferencing, voice mail, and PBX features for enterprise solutions. They will also have web portals to manage their services and monitor the growth of their user.

In addition to these benefits, each SVNO partner will have the option of offering customers co-branded and remote configurable SIP equipment such as IP phones, ATA and video phones. SVNO partners who have their own network capacity may also connect the network to the SIP infrastructure by offering their own termination and origination to the PsipTN. They can still use the PsipTN’s existing termination and originations for areas outside their coverage area.

Several billing and payment system options are available to SVNO partners. They may use or build their own billing and payment systems or use TelTel’s complete payment solution, which includes merchant account services and a billing portal. Partners who have their own payment system can interface with TelTel’s billing system via TelTel’s supplied billing API.

"SVNO partnership program is an innovative business concept designed for rapid deployment of VoIP services within a partner’s current marketplace," said Jack Chang, Chief Operating Officer of TelTel. "Our partners will have a strong competitive edge over others by leveraging TelTel’s proven expertise and know-how in delivering complete end-to-end VoIP solutions to their customers."
