BroadSoft, a provider of voice-over-Internet-protocol (VoIP)
applications to the telecommunications industry, announced their
acquisition of Genband's M6 Communication Applications Server, formerly
VocalData, product line and related customer base.

Genband is a supplier of IP gateways for a set of service provider
networks.

"Our mutual product strengths made BroadSoft's acquisition of the M6
technology and customer base a logical business strategy for both
organizations," said Michael Tessler, President and CEO of BroadSoft.
"Our customers will continue to receive the highest quality customer
service as well as our dedicated focus to ensuring their satisfaction
-- consistent with the quality provided to all BroadSoft customers
worldwide."

"In making this decision, it was important to GENBAND to find the right
company who would ensure the continued success of our customers," said
Charles Vogt, President and CEO of Genband. "We feel strongly that this
partnership will ultimately strengthen the M6 product and as a result,
its customers will benefit from the communication innovations BroadSoft
brings to market."

Both companies have entered into an agreement to cooperate on Network
Transformation projects, which will allow their customers to bundle
core voice, data and web-based services across an IP network.
