PortaOne, InnoSystems Confirm Interoperability of InnoSystems Softphone With
PortaSwitch IP Services Platform
Combination Allows Telecoms to Offer Personal/Business Customers Free Or
Low-Cost Phone Calling from Customer PCs Using Only a Headset

COQUITLAM, British Columbia and MOSCOW, Jan. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Global
communications infrastructure company PortaOne, Inc. and diversified
telecom/media systems provider Innovative Systems of Communication LLC
(InnoSystems) today announced the successful completion of interoperability
testing between PortaOne's PortaSwitch IP multimedia subsystem and Flashphone,
InnoSystems' softphone client. The interoperability gives IP service
providers an assured, reliable peer-to-peer and peer-to-anyone phone call
solution that can help initiate and preserve customer relationships.
Flashphone, based on InnoSystems' Zingaya(TM) Media Server VoIP gateway,
is a "call via Web site" solution for free or low-cost IP telephony. For
end-users, Flashphone requires nothing more than a Web browser and sufficient
bandwidth, along with a PC headset and the free Adobe Flash Player plug-in.
The service can be offered free for peer-to-peer calls, or at low cost for
calls to regular phone numbers.
InnoSystems' Flashphone is a market-ready softphone enhancement for
PortaSwitch, PortaOne's flagship VoIP services platform. PortaSwitch is a
software-based communication services and subscriber management solution that
allows IP telephony services providers to unify voice, data and fax traffic
within a single network. The comprehensive, Class 5 product consists of a
softswitch and application servers, delivering SIP call control, unified
messaging, IP Centrex and IP PBX, voice VPN, callback management, billing and
provisioning and much more.
"With both consumers and organizations of all sizes looking for ways to
reduce costs, a 'call via Web site' capability is a highly attractive offering
in today's global economy," said Roman Khalenkov, sales and marketing director
for PortaOne. "The mutual support of PortaSwitch and Flashphone creates an
instant value-add for service providers that can build loyalty and increase
revenues."
"PortaOne and Flashphone is a powerful combination that can be offered
both as an end-user product and a solution for e-Commerce, businesses or call
centers," stated Alexey Aylarov, project manager of InnoSystems.
"Interoperability with PortaOne demonstrates Flashphone's flexibility and
reliability in supporting leading-edge IP multimedia systems."
