  Where:  Voice on the Net Europe, Stockholm International Fairs, Stockholm,
          Sweden, Stand 839

  When:   23 -- 26 May, 2005
  What:   Brooktrout Technology, Inc., a leading supplier of media
          processing, and call control products, today announced that its
          Senior Product manager for IP, James Rafferty, will participate
          in two panels at the upcoming Voice on the Net Europe in
          Stockholm, Sweden.

          On May 25th, Mr. Rafferty will bring his SIP knowledge to an
          expert panel addressing the topic of "TISPAN: Migrating the PSTN
          to SIP", where he will examine issues concerned with technology
          adoption. It is rare that a network starts from scratch with all-
          new technology. In fact, more often than not, the shift from one
          paradigm to another involves several years of migration. ETSI's
          TISPAN Standards Activities is helping carriers plan their
          migration for landline services so that it is aligned with the
          wireless Internet future.

          Additionally, on May 26th, he will participate on the "Internet
          Engineering Task Force (IETF) Update" panel where he will explain
          how IETF is the centre of efforts to coordinate VoIP solutions.
          Standards bodies are often where the future is created and they
          can be instrumental in helping the industry pick the next market
          mover. Mr. Rafferty will focus on the following specific themes:

          -- What standards work is helping to promote Interoperability?

          -- What impact will the standards have on enabling competitive
             markets?

          Mr. Rafferty is the Senior Product Manager for IP Telephony at
          Brooktrout Technology and is responsible for Brooktrout
          Technology's IP and carrier voice product lines. Mr. Rafferty is
          also active in the IP Telephony standards process through his work
          with the IETF and ITU-T Study Group 16. He is the author of
          numerous RFCs and was instrumental in extending the T.38 IP fax
          standard to enable support for SIP. Mr. Rafferty holds a B.S. and
          Master of Engineering degrees in Management Engineering from
          Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York.

          Brooktrout will display its SnowShore IP Media Server(TM), which
         is a software-based IP media server platform for next generation
         networks and service at Stand 839 in the exhibition hall. Also on
         show will be the NS700(TM) SS7 product line that provides a robust
         SS7 signaling feature set; the TR1000(TM), voice and speech
         processing platform; the TR1500(TM), carrier-grade voice
         processing platform; and the TR2500(TM) platform for voice over
         packet gateways and enhanced services.

          CTI2 will be demonstrating their InTouch messaging application on
         the Brooktrout stand. InTouch provides a complete Unified
         Messaging system, offering advanced GUIs, including a mobile
         client, which uses the capabilities of the Brooktrout SnowShore IP
         Media Server.

          Several scenarios will be available for demonstration. A typical
          scenario will involve depositing a voice message, retrieving it
          via web and forwarding it with a text note to the user's mobile
          phone or to a sample phone provided at the booth.
