Third Party Evaluation Reveals IPQ Consistently and Automatically Reduces
Packet-Loss by Over 90 Percent




OTTAWA, Nov. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- IPeak Networks, a leading developer of network
performance and quality management solutions, today released the findings from
an objective, third party assessment of the company's IPQ(TM) technology, by
Wainhouse Research, an independent market research and analyst firm
specializing in conferencing, collaboration, and unified communications.

According to the Wainhouse Research report, IPQ consistently and automatically
reduced IP network packet loss, in some cases by over 90 percent, enabling
useable, high quality video conferences over lossy networks. 

IPQ is IPeak Networks' unique, plug-and-play packet protection technology
optimized for video conferencing. IPQ has the proven ability to work with any
standards-compliant video conferencing system and deliver the benefits of
emerging visual communications tools to the far edge of the enterprise LAN and
beyond.

"As the use of video conferencing increases within organizations of all sizes,
there is an increasing urgency to address the negative effects of packet
loss," said Ira Wainhouse, senior analyst and partner at Wainhouse Research.
"IPeak Networks' IPQ technology met, and in many ways exceeded, our initial
expectations for this type of packet-loss protection solution. With IPQ's
relatively low cost and plug-and-play design, we believe this solution would
be valuable to virtually any organization seeking to conduct high quality
video conferencing sessions over loss-prone IP networks.  This is especially
true for organizations with multi-vendor video conferencing deployments." 

"We are thrilled by the findings of the Wainhouse Research report," said
Martin Horne, CEO, IPeak Networks. "The report not only validates our
innovative packet protection technology, but underscores our commitment to
providing effective, low-cost solutions to the video conference market."
