IntelePeer Earns Microsoft 2009 Best Solution Design Award for Communications as a Service Within Windows Live

SAN MATEO, CA, May 19 (MARKET WIRE) --
IntelePeer Inc., a leader in hosted on-demand rich media communications,
announced today that its ReachLive application has been recognized by
Microsoft as a Best Solution Design for Communications as a Service
within Microsoft(R) Windows(R) Live. IntelePeer received the award at the
Seventh Annual Microsoft Enterprise Developer and Industry Solutions
Conference 2009, held at the New York Marriott Marquis.

"IntelePeer ReachLive taps into the true power of Microsoft Windows Live
Services and the IntelePeer AppworX Open Communications Platform, and this
award illustrates that potential," said Charles Studt, vice president of
product management for IntelePeer. "IntelePeer AppworX strips away the
complexities of telecom for developers. Applications like ReachLive allow
Web developers to quickly bring communications-enabled business services
to market that reduce operational costs, drive productivity and open new
revenue opportunities."

IntelePeer's ReachLive application allows Windows LiveID users to reach
their contacts by phone or SMS as quickly and intuitively as instant
messaging. This Web-based communication mash-up extends the reach of
Microsoft Live Services to business or personal groups in a familiar Live
Messenger-like interface. Users reach their contacts using the phone of
their choice, SMS text messaging or live chat, and the user includes media
or other rich content. With the powerful IntelePeer network and open
communications platform, ReachLive easily brings contacts together in an
ad-hoc conference call or as recipients of a SMS message or voice blast.

"By demonstrating the ability to combine Web services from multiple
providers and hosting the application on a dynamically scaling
infrastructure, IntelePeer was able to show how cloud computing will
impact communications enabled applications in the not-so-distant future,"
said Joseph Hofstader, architect, Microsoft Communications Sector group.

ReachLive combines a scalable network capable of reaching thousands of
users with existing contact lists from Windows Live Services. For
ReachLive users, phone numbers are removed and the user decides which
phone number of theirs to ring. Phone calls are initiated like chats,
which enables instant notification or collaboration with individuals and
offers many of the benefits of cloud computing, including cost savings,
flexibility and speed of deployment.

IntelePeer was honored alongside three other companies at the awards
ceremony, which focused on computing at the speed of the cloud as well as
what cloud computing offers: flexibility, low entry costs, and access to
services and applications beyond the traditional computer loaded with
applications. Winners of Microsoft's award were named visionaries, taking
cloud computing and designing ways to harness its potential.
