Multi-Tech to Feature Unified Communications Solutions at ITEXPO East.

MINNEAPOLIS, MN, (JANUARY 23, 2008) — Multi-Tech® Systems, Inc. today announced it will have the latest version of its unified communications solutions product portfolio on display at TMC’s INTERNET TELEPHONY® Conference & EXPO East 2008, January 23-25, 2008 at the Miami Beach Convention Center in Miami, Florida (www.itexpo.com).

INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO, held January 23-25, 2008, is the world’s largest and best-attended IP Communications trade show. Last year’s east coast event, held in South Florida in January, drew over 7,000 buyers and sellers of IP Communications products and services. The upcoming show in January will be the 17th INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO, and TMC projects total attendance to exceed 7,500.

"Multi-Tech’s participation at INTERNET TELEPHONY® Conference & EXPO exemplifies why this show is widely recognized as the #1 venue where service providers, enterprises, government agencies, developers and resellers gather to learn about the benefits inherent in IP Communications products and services," said Rich Tehrani, TMC President. "The evolution in this industry has been monumental and it still continues to grow. We are proud to have Multi-Tech and its unified communications solutions as a key part of this year’s program."Multi-Tech Systems, Inc., a leading data communications and telecommunications technology company based in suburban Minneapolis provides a number of unified communications elements within its product line. For the multiple location business, there is the opportunity to network existing phone systems together using MultiVOIP® Gateways. From the fax perspective, if a company is not currently sending faxes directly to the desktop, the FaxFinder® Fax Server can enhance existing phone systems to allow inbound faxes to be delivered to the desktop while enabling outbound faxes to be sent from the desktop. And with the heavy use of cellular phones in today’s business environment, the CallFinder® Cellular Gateways enable voice call toll reduction by routing calls over less expensive cellular networks. The CallFinder also provides emergency calling in case PSTN service is not available.

"INTERNET TELEPHONY® Conference & EXPO has always been all about communications technologies that will help ensure future success to organizations of all sizes including SMBs," states Mike Kydd, Vice President of Sales for Multi-Tech Systems. "At this year’s show we are all about how to add different aspects of unified communications to your existing telephony equipment. The three unified communications elements described here can be added to existing phone systems today. Some or all are appropriate for existing systems depending on the nature of the data infrastructure, the kind of phone systems used, and whether cellular phones are involved. Typically, all are in play with more possibilities from Multi-Tech on the horizon. For instance, we have a product called the SMSFinder™ which is a turnkey SMS Server that brings SMS communications to SMBs. It allows companies to use SMS for business communications, and we will soon add the tools to make those communications part of an integrated unified communications system using existing telephone equipment. The point is that our products allow customers to start gaining some of the benefits of unified communications today without replacing expensive telephone equipment, and those benefits can save money and increase productivity."
