RedVoiss Deploys Acme Packet as Next Session Border Controller for Residential and Business VoIP Services

Competitive Operator in Chile Utilizes Acme Packet's NextSBC
Reassurance Program to Improve Security and Extend Interoperability of
VoIP network
BURLINGTON, Mass.--(Business Wire)--
Acme Packet(R) (NASDAQ: APKT), the leader in session border
control solutions, today announced that RedVoiss, a competitive
service provider in Chile, has leveraged Acme Packet's NextSBC
Reassurance Program to deploy Acme Packet Net-Net(R) session border
controllers (SBCs) in its VoIP network at both subscriber access and
network interconnect borders. Acme Packet's NextSBC Reassurance
Program is designed to ease both the technical and business obstacles
of migrating users of other SBCs to Acme Packet's industry-leading
solutions.

RedVoiss has deployed Acme Packet Net-Net SBCs in its VoIP network
to cultivate continued growth of its residential and business
subscriber base throughout Chile, as well as for VoIP interconnects
with national and international service providers. Acme Packet SBCs
extend interoperability with RedVoiss' service provider peering
partners' networks and help expedite time to market. RedVoiss will
also take advantage of the Acme Packet Connected Universe program to
facilitate peering and interconnect relationships with other Acme
Packet service providers for PSTN termination.

With Acme Packet SBCs, RedVoiss is able to provide a number of
critical control functions for VoIP, including security, SLA assurance
and service reach maximization. Acme Packet's security framework,
Net-SAFE(R), provides denial of service (DoS) attack prevention,
topology hiding and access control to protect RedVoiss' VoIP core and
ensure network availability. The company is leveraging Acme Packet's
protocol interworking in order to control both SIP and legacy H.323
signaling while the network is migrated to a pure SIP environment.
Acme Packet also solved a critical issue with Dual-Tone
Multi-Frequency (DTMF) interworking that was hindering the growth of
RedVoiss' customer base.

"As the first Latin American company to offer an Internet
telephony service, RedVoiss has years of experience with VoIP and we
realized we could not afford to continue with equipment that prevented
us from expanding our business," explained Claudio Lopez, RedVoiss'
CTO. "With Acme Packet's Net-Net SBCs, we are able to deliver the best
quality service to our customers while leveraging partnerships and
agreements with other providers that will help us grow in the long
term."

"At Acme Packet, we recognize how important flexible, reliable IP
network border solutions are for our customers," explained Seamus
Hourihan, vice president of marketing and product management for Acme
Packet. "Our Net-Net SBCs provide service providers like RedVoiss with
the security, interoperability and scalability needed to continue as
leaders in their market."
