Recognized for leadership in emerging technology

MILPITAS, Calif. — July 12, 2006— IP Unity, the leader in carrier-grade media servers, application servers and real-time multimedia applications, today announced that it has been chosen by AlwaysOn as one of the Top 100 Private Company award winners. IP Unity was handpicked by the AlwaysOn editorial panel based on a set of five criteria - technology innovation, market potential, customer adoption, media buzz and investor value creation.

IP Unity and the AO100 will be honored as part of the AO2006: Stanford Summit, July 25-27, at the Frances C. Arrillaga Alumni Center on the Stanford University campus in Palo Alto, California. It will bring together successful entrepreneurs, business and political thought leaders, and top venture capitalists to spot trends and spark new ideas and initiatives.

The AO100 was selected from over 1,000 companies, peer-nominated by leading venture capitalists, investment bankers and industry analysts. The AO100 consists of private companies at all stages of development, from early to late stage.

IP Unity delivers carrier–grade media servers, application servers and real-time multimedia applications over IP and TDM networks, and has been prominent in first-wave IMS deployments through its Multimedia Resource Function architecture. The company’s open and modular Mereon® solutions enable service providers, large enterprises and public institutions to quickly deploy valued services including Unified Messaging, Video Messaging and Video Conferencing.

"The AO100 companies are driving the next wave of innovative technologies that are disrupting the old guard and shaping the new media landscape," said Tony Perkins, founder of AlwaysOn. "As ever, we were inundated with nominations from leading companies, and it’s heartening to know that tomorrow’s thought leaders and technology visionaries are already out there. My congratulations to each AO100 winner - these are the companies which we predict will have the greatest market traction, strongest innovation and most game-changing approaches this year."

"We are grateful to be recognized by Tony Perkins and his team as an AlwaysOn 100 Top Private Company," said Arun Sobti, IP Unity Chairman and CEO. ""It is a credit to the talented people at IP Unity that we have again been named to this list. IP Unity is committed to providing innovative and life-improving rich media communications to worldwide service providers and enterprises.
