COMPTEL PLUS. Dallas, TX: October 9, 2007. More than 100
Competitive Local Exchange Carriers (CLECs) are now among the customers of MetaSwitch, a leading vendor
of carrier-class softswitch and applications solutions. CLECs have selected the company's softswitch
architecture and associated products to deploy advanced services and maintain a competitive edge in
the market.
Recent MetaSwitch customers who helped the softswitch innovator pass the 100 CLEC
milestone include Broadview Networks. CLECs focus on delivering quality service for their customers,
maximizing operational efficiency and consistently generating new revenues. A steady flow of CLECs are
choosing MetaSwitch, leveraging the company's core switching, MetaSphere Service Delivery Platform
(SDP) and application suite for quick deployment of high-value services and an increase in bottom-line
profitability.
"As a CLEC serving 20 markets, including all major metro areas, in
the communications-intensive Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, we continually evolve our network and
services to provide over 75,000 small and medium-size business customers with the total
solution to their communications needs, including a full suite of IP based communications and
managed services," said Ken Shulman, Broadview Networks' chief technology and chief
information officer. "Deployed in 2006, the MetaSwitch VP Series softswitch provided the
deployment flexibility, robust feature set and evolutionary path necessary to form the core
platform to meet our current and future needs cost effectively and rapidly across our
entire footprint. In addition, the MetaSwitch team has proven to be a true partner throughout
the process."
Broadview joins many other notable carriers who have made the decision to stake
their businesses on powerful MetaSwitch technology. Other large, successful CLECs who have built upon
a MetaSwitch foundation are One Communications and TelePacific.
"At One Communications, we pride ourselves on our ability to consistently
deliver superior products and services using the latest in cutting-edge technology," explained Russ
Oliver, executive vice president of strategy at One Communications. "MetaSwitch is a critical
component in engineering the best-in-class, highly scalable network needed to deliver first-class
communications services to our more than 160,000 customers."
Russell Shipley, senior vice president, wholesale and network
services for TelePacific Communications, said: "TelePacific is pleased with our
MetaSwitch deployment and the relationships between our companies. Our partnership
is a result of TelePacific's strategic acquisition of Arrival Communications, where
MetaSwitch technology had been in production for several years. We are very happy
with the dedication of MetaSwitch toward best-of-breed technical support and
products. The cost efficient and full featured VP3510, which we have deployed in a
fully redundant, geographically distributed architecture, has become a cornerstone
element in the growth and evolution of the TelePacific network."
MetaSwitch recently unveiled MetaSphere, an application suite and service
delivery platform, enabling carriers to streamline development and delivery of advanced services across
multiple media types and end user devices.
"With next generation infrastructure from MetaSwitch, there is huge opportunity
for CLECs to deliver competitively priced applications to customers who have been underserved by incumbent
carriers," said Graeme MacArthur, MetaSwitch chief executive officer. "We can enable CLECs to
quickly rollout offerings such as Web-based control of phone services or low cost
phone/Internet bundles."

President of Product Management and Technology Strategy Martin Taylor will speak as part of a panel
