SYLANTRO'S COMRIO MAKES ANY PHONE YOUR BUSINESS PHONE.(Product Announcement)

Sylantro Systems Corp., Campbell, Calif., supplier of the industry's premier applications-enabled softswitch for delivery of managed telephony services has released its latest application module, ComRIO (Remote Instant Office), which introduces presence management into Sylantro's award-winning suite of managed telephony applications. ComRIO allows business users with access to a browser to use the features of their Sylantro-powered business services and establish their system presence at any directly accessible telephone or mobile phone, from any location worldwide -- just as if the user were working in their own office.

With ComRIO, a browser and a dialable phone, any environment can become an impromptu office. For example, a business user in a remote location can access all of the business phone's call logs, including missed calls, as well as company and personal directories, from any offsite location using a browser. Incoming calls to the office phone are instantly routed directly into the remote phone. ComRIO completes the transformation by forwarding the business phone's caller ID -- not the remote phone's -- when outbound calls are made, to promote a professional image and protect privacy. ComRIO extends one-number portability and value far beyond any currently available product or service on the market.

Service providers, including CLECs, ILECs and others, can offer ComRIO as an option to their customers, enabling business users to leverage the intuitive, browser-based features and settings that are included in Sylantro's award-winning Communications Suite. With Sylantro's intuitive portal design, users can quickly and easily e-provision ComRIO on a temporary or permanent basis via any browser.

"As the workforce becomes increasingly mobile, and telecommuting and virtual corporations are more accepted, businesses need ways to allow their employees to conduct business professionally and seamlessly from any location," said Laura Thompson, Sylantro's vice president of corporate marketing. "ComRIO, along with the complete suite of managed telephony services from Sylantro, gives employees a rich set of features that are far beyond those offered by legacy telephone systems, and allows them to access, control and utilize these features from any direct-dialed remote telephone or mobile phone, at any time, just as if they were working at their own desk."

ComRIO (Remote Instant Office) is the latest in a series of tightly integrated managed telephony application modules included in Sylantro's Communications Suite(TM), which allows service providers to offer high-margin sophisticated voice services to their business customers. These services are available today and are helping service providers generate new revenues, enter new markets, and reduce customer churn. In addition to ComRIO, Sylantro's Communications Suite includes the following:

-- c-Business(TM), which offers a rich set of managed business telephony services that replace legacy PBX or key systems with a managed, or "outsourced" telephony solution. c-Business synthesizes Class 5 line-side features with popular mobile-phone-like functions and browser-based capabilities to provide a truly unique set of advanced features and capabilities.

-- ComCierge(TM) delivers enhanced accessibility and control using "Caller ID" for 24 x 7 Personal Assistant services to business customers, with customizable "caller treatments" for specialized call handling.

-- ComTraveler(TM) ties in mobile users to the full complement of ComCierge features via any Internet-enabled phone.

-- ComMerchant(TM) allows service providers to economically deliver advanced call handling, queuing and overflow capabilities designed specifically for their small and medium-sized business customers.

ComRIO is a premium application that will generate incremental subscriber revenues for service providers from the service offering itself, but also from the additional completed call traffic generated by these remote "virtual" offices. Due to its ability to extend applications beyond the office environment, ComRIO's "sticky" nature will help service providers reduce customer churn while differentiating their product offerings, as well as providing opportunities to "upsell" within their existing customer base.
