SEATTLE, June 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Straitshot Communications, a Wide Area
Network (WAN) supplier that provides an effortless and economical replacement
for Frame Relay and Internet VPNs, announced today that the company has entered
into an OEM and distribution agreement with Farmstead Telephone Group, Inc.
(AMEX:FTG).
Under the terms of the agreement, Farmstead will bundle and distribute
Straitshot's network nationwide as part of its new One IP Voice offering,
delivering to its customers a reliable, secure, high performance network at or
below the cost of an Internet VPN.
"We are elated to have the opportunity to work with one of the most
knowledgeable and experienced companies in the telecommunications industry,"
said Robert Hogan, CEO of Straitshot Communications. "Together, we are in a
strong position to address customers' needs as companies share
business-critical information -- including demanding real-time applications
such as video and VoIP -- between offices."
Farmstead Telephone Group Chairman and CEO, Jean-Marc Stiegemeier, commented,
"We are pleased to include the Straitshot network solutions as part of our
"bundled' products and services. The One IP Voice network will provide our

Straitshot: A New Network Alternative for Any Business-Critical Application
Straitshot's patent-pending network is ideally suited for today's business
applications and ends the compromise between expensive legacy networks and
unreliable Internet VPNs. Using Straitshot, companies receive the following
features and benefits:
-- Dedicated Network Capacity Offers Maximum Performance and Lowers
Bandwidth Costs. Straitshot gives each customer exclusive network
capacity, eliminating bandwidth sharing between customers. This
means that customers are not forced to add more bandwidth to combat
latency or jitter issues, making this a more economical solution
over traditional frame relay networks.
-- Quality of Service (QoS) and Voice Prioritization Delivers
Unprecedented Reliability. Unlike VPNs, Straitshot supports quality
of service (QoS) within the network core and across last mile
connections. In addition, the Straitshot Network can prioritize
traffic based upon the application type, ensuring that voice calls
and video are maintained at the highest throughput while bandwidth
for lower priority data sessions is dynamically scaled back.
-- Multi-Carrier Redundancy Provides Guaranteed Availability.
Straitshot's patent-pending architecture uses multi-access
technologies to deliver 99.999% availability.
