Product Demonstrations

At booth 87, Sigma will highlight its global leadership in enabling
advanced IP services such as high-speed data, video, voice, premium
content and multimedia; to any device, on any network. Sigma is also
pioneering the evolution to "applications enablement", making it
possible for service providers to rapidly deploy new applications and
further distinguish themselves from the competition by offering a
unique, personalised user experience. Sigma currently manages more than
50 deployments for CSPs with a combined total of approximately 100
million IP services deployed worldwide. Product demonstrations will
include:

* Sigma's Residential Triple-Play Solution, which enables the delivery
of voice, video, high-speed data and ISP services. CSPs can rapidly
introduce and deliver incremental messaging, premium content and
entertainment services on top of defined triple-play bundles with
Sigma's complete, end-to-end solution.

* Sigma's Hosted Commercial Voice Solution, which automates the complex
IP service fulfilment functions required to deliver voice services with
a full set of calling features, including call display, call
forwarding, call answer and hunt groups, as well as innovative IP-based
communication features such as find me/follow me and unified messaging.
As well, it provides a web portal for SMB customers to manage their
phone service remotely. The solution also supports LNP for multiple
telephone number ordering and complex directory listings needed by
businesses to preserve the investment in their phone numbers.

* Sigma's Mobile Solution, which enables the service creation, service
bundling and fulfilment process capabilities to deliver multiple
services in a multi-technology mobile network domain. With Sigma, CSPs
can automate the delivery of services such as voice telephony and voice
features, push-to-talk, IM/SMS/MMS, premium content and broadband

Internet capabilities with the push of a button.
