In order to comply with an internal effort to simplify and harmonize model names and numbers on a global basis, Aastra will be changing the model numbers of all 5i Series phones and expansion modules, commencing in the 1st Quarter, 2009.

This model number change involves the addition of the number "67" prefix to the current 5i name. As a result, Aastra will now refer to this product Series as the "Aastra 67xi Series" rather than "Aastra 5i Series".

This change is cosmetic in nature only, with the new model number appearing on the logo plate, box and product labels, user guides and certain web user interface screens. There will be no changes in product performance, compatibility, order/part numbers or pricing. To date, you may have already seen some references to the 67xi product nomenclature reflected in user guides, telephone display screens, web sites and web user interfaces. Marketing and web collateral materials will reflect this change shortly, with the equivalent 5i model numbers appearing in brackets during this transition.

The appearance of the 67xi nomenclature on physical product will be a gradual process and the timing will vary based on inventories and sell rates in various countries. We will continue to monitor inventory levels and advise you when you can anticipate receiving product with the new model name appearing on the logo plate and associated box/product labels.

The following is a list of the old and new model numbers:

STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN--(Marketwire - January 13, 2009) - Intertex Data AB announced today that Technology Marketing Corporation's (TMC®) INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine (www.itmag.com) has named Intertex IX78 E-SBC as a recipient of its 2008 Product of the Year Award.

Intertex' new IX78 E-SBC is an ADSL Modem/Router/Firewall with built in Enterprise Session Border Controller (E-SBC) functionality for SIP Trunking.

SIP Trunking is connecting a company PBX to a carrier's IP SIP telephony service instead of via TDM lines, such as PRI, BRI or multiple analog lines. The IX78 E-SBC now allows service providers to mass deploy high quality SIP Trunks cost effectively over ADSL or Ethernet access, solving the SIP NAT Traversal problem, PBX interoperability with the SIP Service, Security and QoS (Quality of Service).

With the IX78 E-SBC, a service provider can roll out a SIP Trunking service over ADSL, where VoIP is delivered over a quality assured PVC and the unused bandwidth is fully used for non-prioritized Internet traffic over another PVC on the same line. The IX78 E-SBC can alternatively be used with Ethernet access -- VLAN tagged or not -- and also prioritize and traffic shape over a single Internet pipe.

The general SIP functionally and handling of multiple high capacity WAN connections with different priority, is inherited from the triple play, any port, any service IX78 broadband product. In the SIP Trunking case, the IX78 E-SBC creates a unified VoIP and data LAN, where the company gets global SIP connectivity both for the PBX and its phones and for other SIP services, e.g. remote SIP users (home workers and road worriers) connected to the PBX over the Internet.

The capacity is high -- over an ADSL2+ Annex M line, more than 30 simultaneous calls can be supported, replacing a full TDM PRI line. For larger installations, Intertex' sister company Ingate Systems, with which it shares an unequalled interoperability listing between PBXs and SIP Trunking service providers, can provide higher capacity E-SBC products.

"We are very pleased to receive this INTERNET TELEPHONY award and that one of our products once again is recognized as a product of the year. The IX78 E-SBC is an innovative product for VoIP service providers that want to deploy high quality SIP Trunks cost effectively over ADSL or Ethernet, and has become very appreciated by these operators and their customers. INTERNET TELEPHONY is the leading magazine in the VoIP space and to receive a Product of the Year award by this magazine is an honor," said Martin Feuk, VP of Intertex.

"INTERNET TELEPHONY is pleased to grant a 2008 Product of the Year Award to Intertex for their IX78 E-SBC. Intertex has proven they are committed to quality and excellence while addressing real needs in the marketplace," said Rich Tehrani, TMC President and Editor-in-Chief of INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine. "We're proud to honor their accomplishments in the advancement of IP communications and look forward to more innovative solutions from them in the future."
