TelTel and Seednet Launch VoIP Service Through SVNO Partnership Program

TelTel facilitates rapid deployment of VoIP service for leading Asian ISP

Santa Clara, CA – September 19, 2005

TelTel, a provider of SIP-based global Internet telephony with presence-enabled features, announced today the launch of a new VoIP telephony service in Taiwan through a SVNO partnership with Seednet, the leading Internet Services Provider (ISP) in the Greater China region. Seednet manages and carries the largest Internet traffic flow in Taiwan.

Wagaly TelTel (WT) is the new co-branded VoIP telephony service powered by TelTe's TelTel Network - the SIP-based network backbone and turnkey solution for service providers. The service will be formally available to the 250,000 Seednet subscribers with an ADSL broadband connection in late October. The service allows users to make cost-effective Wagaly TelTel-enabled PC-PSTN calls both within Taiwan and internationally.

TelTel's SVNO partnership program allowed Seednet to minimize development effort by relying on TelTel's proven platform technology, ready-made softphone client, competitively priced SIP termination and origination services, and seamless billing system integration through TelTel's billing APIs. Seednet gained a strong advantage of optimal turnaround time from service planning to deployment in the burgeoning market of VoIP. "Seednet aims to succeed in emerging market of VoIP service by allying with strategic partners and providing customers with the best services," said CJ Cherng, CEO of Seednet. "This partnership with TelTel allows us to offer our subscribers with better and more affordable ways to communicate via both PC-to-PC and PC-to-PSTN calls with the Wagaly TelTel service."

Seednet will be delivering current service offerings right onto users' desktop via the co-branded softphone client Wagaly TelTel. More new services using TelTel's VoIP technology and features will be released later this year. "By partnering with Seednet, one of Taiwan's leading ISPs, TelTel is opening up our services to a large market with great growth potential," said Kuolai Shu, President of Taiwan branch office of TelTel. "This allows us to help Seednet break new technological ground in offering their large subscriber community the ability to make PC-to PSTN calls."
