    iNuntius' Turnkey VoIP and Messaging Solution Enables Wholesale Clients To Rapidly Deploy a Customized, Branded VoIP Service With Minimal Up-Front Cost

    NMS Communications (NASDAQ: NMSS) today announced that iNuntius' Talking Planet(TM) Voice Services Platform (VSP), built on NMS' Open Access(TM) (www.nmscommunications.com/openaccess) development framework, is now available for wholesale licensing to telecommunications carriers, enterprises, and service providers. iNuntius, a leading provider of carrier-grade wholesale VoIP and messaging services, developed the Talking Planet Voice Services Platform (VSP) to power its suite of feature-rich voice mail and voice portal products. Belkin Corporation is the first licensee and will use Talking Planet as the basis for its "callEverywhere" end-to-end VoIP solution.
    The Talking Planet VSP, or media gateway, will be licensed as a fully-integrated turnkey offering to wholesale customers, allowing them to deploy a comprehensive suite of customized and branded VoIP and messaging service offerings -- such as VoIP calling, email, conference calling, IP faxing, and voice messaging services -- quickly and cost-effectively. The Talking Planet VSP is available as a privately-brandable wholesale solution, allowing iNuntius to quickly engage and implement scalable VoIP and messaging services for its customers. Talking Planet is also available as a hosted solution.
    As a result of iNuntius' longtime partnership with Belkin Corporation, Belkin has licensed the Talking Planet VSP for use in its new "callEverywhere" end-to-end VoIP offering. Using the VSP, Belkin's wholesale VoIP solution customers can develop unique service plans and customize web-based branded customer interfaces. iNuntius is the back-end service provider, and Belkin will provide the hardware and sales distribution, logistics, and technical support.
    "By partnering with NMS, we have been able to leverage the versatility of the Fusion Family of products, allowing iNuntius to give its customers the option to match their hardware investments with the size of the deployment and to scale efficiently as the business grows," said Ryan Kim, VP Engineering of iNuntius. "The superior capacity and performance of its products coupled with its rich-suite of APIs makes choosing a partnership with NMS an easy choice."
    "This turnkey VoIP solution is another in a long line of extremely compelling applications built by iNuntius on NMS' Open Access platforms," said Jonathan Sieg, VP, Platform Solutions, NMS. "NMS is delighted to have innovative partners such as iNuntius develop market-leading products like the Talking Planet VSP, as it reinforces NMS' continuing relevance to the rapidly expanding VoIP marketplace."
    Open Access is NMS' comprehensive product framework for creating next-generation voice, data, and video applications and services. The Open Access architecture provides a robust application development environment that eases the integration of software and hardware applications while maintaining telecom-grade standards for reliability.
    NMS Communications will be showcasing its technology with a variety of technology partners in booth # 815 at Spring 2005 VON Conference & Expo, March 7-10 at the San Jose Convention Center in San Jose, CA, the industry tradeshow for Voice over IP since 1997.
