GlobalTouch Telecom Chooses Telco Systems' Access211 VoIP Device for SIPTalk

LONDON, January 27/PRNewswire/ -- GlobalTouch Telecom, Inc. today announced it has selected Telco Systems'
Access211 analog telephone adapter (ATA) for its SIPTalk Voice-over Internet
Protocol (VoIP) calling service.



GlobalTouch CEO, Greg Welch, says, "The Access211 is the perfect device
for our SIPTalk customers because it combines a VoIP ATA with built-in router
and life line POTS support, all into one device. Life Line POTS support
allows the customer the ability to utilize a standard phone line to access
E911 service in the event of power or Internet outages."



GlobalTouch said the Access211 provides its SIPTalk customers superior
voice quality, as well as a rich package of features, including Internet
faxing (T.38), and distinctive ringing. GlobalTouch's SIPTalk customers will
find the Access211 device simple to connect, and because it doesn't require
an external router, creates less clutter on the desk.



GlobalTouch has initiated a multi-year, multi-million dollar contract
with Telco Systems for their Access211 VoIP ATA. Telco Systems' Access211
VoIP ATA enables GlobalTouch SIPTalk subscribers to make and receive phone
calls and faxes over broadband Internet connections using standard telephones
and fax machines.



Some of the Access211 features and capabilities that prompted GlobalTouch
to select the advanced Telco Systems ATA include custom calling feature
support such as distinctive ringing; T.38 Internet faxing; two telephone
ports that concurrently support advanced compression technology for two
different phone numbers; integrated routing, which eliminates the need for an
external router; and advanced Quality of Service features such as traffic
shaping, which prioritizes voice over data and contributes to the superior
voice quality of the Access211. Traffic shaping is not available on any other
consumer VoIP ATA.



Larry Asten, Telco Systems' President, said: "We're impressed by
GlobalTouch's innovative approach to the VoIP market and we anticipate a long
mutually beneficial partnership as VoIP service continues to gain acceptance
as a replacement to traditional phone service."



GlobalTouch's SIPTalk offers a product line of VoIP packages that are
some of the most competitive in the industry, starting with its new $9.95 per
month plan which offers residential callers 200 minutes of calling anywhere
in the United States and Canada. Other plans for the residence and small
business start at just $14.95 per month. Plans for unlimited calling in the
U.S. and Canada start at just $19.95 per month. All SIPTalk plans are feature
rich and include GlobalTouch's amazingly low international rates.
