N-FORMATION DELIVERS REAL-TIME CONTENT TO NEC INASET.

Telephone IP News • Sept 1, 2007 •

NEC Unified Solutions, Inc., Irving, Texas, a leading provider of VoIP and data communications, has teamed with Data Call Technologies (OTCBB:DCLT) to introduce N-FORMATION, a real- time information delivery system for news, sports, financial, traffic, and weather among other data content. N-FORMATION leverages NEC's INASET(r) enterprise terminal to provide users with on-demand information and entertainment content through the terminal's digital display.

N-FORMATION can be customized to send relevant content to guests in a variety of different environments, including hotels, airports, banks, sports arenas and corporate offices. Customized content like weather reports, sports scores, traffic updates, entertainment news and stock prices can be digitally transmitted directly to the user's INASET terminal display.

NEC's INASET terminal consolidates various applications, services, and voice communications into one intuitive user interface. Among the business applications created by NEC for the INASET are: OpenWorX(r) directory functionality, call log history for both incoming and outgoing calls, location status and message reader.

"Consumers demand real-time news and information through the devices they use most often," said Paul Lopez, general manager, Marketing and Services at NEC Unified Solutions. "We are proud to work with DataCall Technologies to offer N-FORMATION as a resource for providing NEC displays with content for multiple environments. A guest in a hotel can easily use their NEC phone equipped with N-FORMATION to find out latest financial market information, sports scores, traffic, localized weather forecast including Doppler Radar, as well as the latest U.S. and international news."

N-FORMATION can also be used to facilitate employee communications in corporate settings. For example, front desk staff at a hotel can use N-FORMATION to send bulletins that keep employees up-to-speed on activities, events or emergencies within the hotel. This constant exchange of information and improved internal communications can result in increased productivity for the company.

"We strive to provide the best solutions for our customers when it comes to delivering real-time content and information," said Jim Ammons, president & CEO of Data Call Technologies Inc. "Our relationship with NEC extends our solution, allowing us to seamlessly deliver timely information for travelers, employees, shoppers, commuters, or hotel guests where and when they need it."
