NEWS RELEASE TRANSMITTED BY CCNMatthews FOR: SANGOMA TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION TSX VENTURE SYMBOL: STC APRIL 7, 2005 - 15:12 ET 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.
