[March 19, 2007] TII Network Technologies Expands its Voice Over Internet Protocol ('VoIP') Product Offerings to Small Businesses and Multiple Dwelling Units Tweet COPIAGUE, N.Y., March 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TII Network Technologies, Inc. , a leading provider of network technology products for the communications industry, is expanding its Voice Over Internet Protocol ("VoIP") and other product offerings targeted to small businesses, multi line residences and multiple dwelling units (MDU's) that will significantly strengthen the Company's position in this rapidly growing market. This expansion is a continuation of the Company's efforts to broaden the breadth and scope of its product offerings in this rapidly growing market. The VoIP product offerings that target small businesses and MDU's are the following: * An indoor or outdoor Voice Network Interface Device (NID) Panel known as the TII SVN-12 that accommodates up to 12 two-way switching modules for installation in multiple dwelling units. * Two multi-line, switchable voice modules (SVM's), known as TII SVM-2 and TII SVM-4, that provides seamless switching from Telco services to digital phone service. * An indoor consumer SVM version that provides seamless switching from traditional Telco to digital phone services. * An intercom VoIP switch, called the TII VIS Series, which provides number porting and seamless switching from VoIP or digital phone services to local intercom calls in multiple dwelling units (MDU's). * A switchable voice wall jack, is enclosed in a wall plate size device and can be located at the first telephone jack location in a MDU. All the SVM products eliminate additional truck roll costs by automatically switching service provider connections when ring signals are detected from the alternate service provider. Kenneth A. Paladino, President and CEO for TII, stated, "We have made tremendous strides with our new product development and marketing initiatives over the last 12 months by adding new talents to our organization and successfully leveraging the capabilities we have developed in our core business. Our new line of VoIP products is a direct result of early market intelligence into the strategic direction that cable MSO's are now taking to capture greater market share in the small business and MDU opportunities. We believe that these new products address a rapidly growing niche market. Also, these new VoIP offerings, amongst other TII products, support our recent resurgence into international markets, where multi dwelling and triple play technologies are prevalent in metropolitan cities." The Company recently introduced the Outrigger(TM) Media Access Portal, the first outdoor Intelligent Network Interface Device that allows telephone or cable operators to deliver Triple-Play bundled services -- digital telephone, broadband data and video over broadband -- to residential customers over a home's existing cable TV and telephone wiring.
