Cistera Networks Receives Unified Communications(R) Magazine's 2007 Product Of The Year Award

Cistera ConvergenceServer(TM) version 1.8 recognized for
outstanding innovation
PLANO, Texas--(Business Wire)--
Cistera Networks, Inc.(R) (OTCBB: CNWT), a leading provider of
enterprise application platforms and engines for IP Communications,
today announced that Technology Marketing Corporation's (TMC(R))
Unified Communications magazine (www.uc-mag.com) has named the Cistera
ConvergenceServer(TM) version 1.8 as a recipient of its 2007 Product
of the Year Award.

"The award shows that application servers are an important part of
IP Communications and that the value is not only in the services that
Cistera delivers, but also in how we deliver those capabilities," said
Greg Royal, Cistera's chief technology officer and executive vice
president. "The Cistera ConvergenceServer platform is vital to
enterprises deploying IP Communications because it ensures
scalability, performance, fail-over, storage, archiving and
integration into business processes. The way in which we deliver IP
Communications is of equal importance to how the applications manifest
themselves on the end-user's handset."

Cistera ConvergenceServer version 1.8 is the integration point
between many different business processes within an organization, from
first-responder environments, to healthcare notification to
contact-center compliance.

"Cistera Networks has proven they are committed to quality and
excellence while addressing real needs in the marketplace. Unified
Communications is pleased to grant a 2007 Product of the Year Award to
their Cistera ConvergenceServer," said Rich Tehrani, TMC president and
editor-in-chief of Unified Communications magazine. "We're proud to
honor their hard work and accomplishments and look forward to more
innovative solutions from Cistera Networks in the future."
