NEWS RELEASE TRANSMITTED BY CCNMatthews FOR: SANGOMA TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION TSX VENTURE SYMBOL: STC APRIL 15, 2004 - 08:00 ET Major Italian ISP Selects Sangoma Technologies S5141 Card To Connect Italian Government Offices TORONTO, ONTARIO--(CCNMatthews - Apr 15, 2004) - - Linux-based solution enables Clio S.r.l. to deploy quickly and affordably - With over 20 years of engineering and technical expertise, Sangoma Technologies Corporation (TSXV: STC) (www.sangoma.com), a leading provider of connectivity hardware and software products for WANs and Internet infrastructure, has been selected by Clio S.r.l. (www.clio.it), one of the oldest Internet service providers in Italy, to provide its S5141 PCI Dual Port Cards. Clio, a provider of Internet connectivity, outsourcing, consulting, Voice over Internet Protocol, satellite data transfers and distance learning to southern and central Italy, chose Sangoma's S5141 card to connect Italy's public sector government offices with the country's Public Administration's European Union financed private network (RUPAR). "Sangoma cards made perfect sense for us in large part due to the quality of the drivers, Linux support and the performance we achieved during our extensive testing," says Clio associate Oreste Dimaggio. "Using Sangoma cards and a Linux PC we obtained the same if not better results as a traditional router solution for half the price." Clio selected Sangoma as part of an ongoing project with RUPAR to provide secure networking services. One of the Administration's requirements is to deploy a firewall and proxy service through a V.35 connection in every Public Administration office. Clio expects to recoup implementation costs of the Sangoma cards within six months. "Clio is an excellent example of how Sangoma cards, coupled with a Linux-based PC, is a logical alternative to a traditional router deployment," says Sangoma Technologies president and CEO David Mandelstam. "Our S5141 card enables Clio to deploy a single combination router and firewall solution, saving costs, clutter and complexity."
