Sangoma Technologies Ships A301, T3/E3 Voice/Data Card

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(CCNMatthews - April 7, 2005) - 

T3/E3 Card Supports Clear Channelized Data transport at speeds to 
44.7Mbps

Sangoma Technologies Corporation (TSX VENTURE:STC) (www.sangoma.com), a 
leading provider of connectivity hardware and software products 
supporting voice transport, WANs and Internet infrastructure, is now 
shipping its A301 AFT (Advanced Flexible Telecommunications) 
unchannelized T3/E3 card.

The A301 card is a 2U PCI adapter that supports clear channel T3 (44.7 
Mbps) and E3 (34.4 Mbps) over dual BNC connectors. The card is targeted 
for larger organizations or ISPs that have outgrown their multiple T1 
data links. Sangoma's A311 card to be released later this year will 
provide fully channelized T3 capability for the voice market.

"As the line speed increases and the number of users dependent on that 
link grows, the consequences of link failure become more and more 
catastrophic," says Sangoma Technologies President and CEO David 
Mandelstam. "For this reason our T3/E3 development testing has focused 
heavily on hardware and driver reliability under all circumstances, 
including instantaneous recovery from line fault conditions."

"The A301 card has performed exceptionally well in our environment," 
adds Nathan Whittacre of Whittrio, Inc., a Las Vegas-based voice and 
data service provider. "On a new line with extensive teething troubles, 
the A301 gracefully recovered from every network event."

The A301 is the latest addition to Sangoma's family of cards that 
currently includes the A101 (single port), A102 (dual port) and A104 
(four-port) card.
