San Francisco — February 12, 2008 — Global IP Solutions (GIPS), the leading provider of VoIP multimedia solutions, today announced the general availability of REX, its award-winning VoIP softphone solution suite, providing enterprise users, service providers and developers with advanced PBX, instant messaging, presence and voicemail capabilities.

The REX Solution includes REX PC and REX Mobile for enterprises and service providers, and the REX SDK for application developers.

“We are proud to recognize the greatest achievements in the advancement of VoIP and IP telecommunications technologies,” said Rich Tehrani, TMC President and Editor-in-Chief of INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine. “GIPS continues to deliver cutting edge VoIP technology and the REX softphone has the high-quality VoIP processing that companies have come to expect from GIPS – that’s why we awarded it the annual product of the year award.”

“Enterprises and developers of next generation services are always looking for new and innovative ways to keep people connected while providing productivity tools for the mobile workforce of the 21^st Century,” said Steve Rust, GIPS Vice President Global IP Solutions. “The REX product line moves beyond traditional phone systems and offers an affordable solution to companies looking for reliability, portability and quality when using the latest VoIP technology.”

REX PC turns any computer into a corporate PBX extension, keeping the functionality of a desktop phone in place, with additional features for enhanced communications. Enterprise users can call or IM colleagues from an internal contact list, or dial outside numbers. Remote workers can place and receive high-quality calls while traveling outside of the office, without the need to establish a VPN connection.

The REX Mobile softphone allows service providers to customize and deploy a branded design of their choice. With the same features as REX PC, users are able to establish calls in any area with a wireless Internet connection. GIPS’ voice processing technology overcomes quality challenges within wireless networks and gives users the reliability they expect from voice calls.

Along with REX PC and REX Mobile, GIPS is offering an SDK for application developers to build a voice or chat application. The REX SDK is a flexible solution that delivers the key building blocks developers need to create a softphone or add voice, IM or PBX functionality into an existing application.
