Digium Announces New ''Exceptional Satisfaction Program'' to Further Guarantee Quality of its Open Source VoIP Solutions

     Open Source Telephony Leader Announces Bold New Satisfaction
       Program Across Commercial Hardware and Software Offerings
HUNTSVILLE, Ala.--(Business Wire)--
Digium(R), Inc., the Asterisk(R) Company, today announced a bold,
new guarantee program ensuring the quality of its hardware and
software products and underscoring its commitment to the
sustainability and reliability of open source technology. The Digium
Exceptional Satisfaction Program (ESP) is the most comprehensive and
aggressive product guarantee program in the open source telephony
market today and provides exceptional new incentives to resellers and
partners selling Digium Asterisk-based commercial solutions worldwide.

   Asterisk is the most widely used open source telephony software
with more than one million downloads in 2007 and an estimated 100
million users worldwide. Digium, founded by Asterisk creator Mark
Spencer, is recognized as the leader in open source VoIP solutions and
was recently named a 2008 "Technology of the Year" by InfoWorld.

   The new Digium ESP guarantee is 100 percent focused on customer
satisfaction and includes the following:

   --  A new five-year warranty on all new Digium PCI and PCI Express
        telephony cards;

   --  A one-year warranty on all Digium Appliances that can be
        extended via subscription renewal;

   --  All Commercial Asterisk Software will come with a one-year
        subscription standard and can be extended via subscription
        renewal;

   --  A money-back guarantee should Digium products fail to perform
        as advertised.

   Digium products currently shipping (see link below) are covered
under the ESP guarantee and will come stamped with the Exceptional
Satisfaction Logo. For more information, please visit

   "Open source solutions, including Asterisk, are now moving into
the mainstream for many business users. Along with this adoption comes
the expectation that open source solutions will perform with the same
degree of quality and reliability that traditional solutions have
delivered," said Danny Windham, CEO of Digium. "Digium is launching
the ESP program in response to this expectation to provide the
confidence to our customers and partners that Digium is a company they
can trust for all their telephony needs. The ESP program is yet
another way Digium is extending its industry leadership through
technology innovation and customer support."
