As a result of its international footprint expansion, Smoothstone's
cloud-based enterprise communications applications and services are now
available in key European markets, including the United Kingdom, France,
Germany and Switzerland. Enterprises in those countries now have full access
to Smoothstone's application-aware managed MPLS network services, along with
its innovative portfolio of cloud-based PBX, contact center, IP Centrex and
SIP Trunking solutions.

"We are answering the call from our customers, expanding international
reach to deliver a full portfolio of services in European markets," said Jeff
Wellemeyer, President and Chairman of Smoothstone. "This announcement
represents the first step in an aggressive roll-out plan that will provide
Smoothstone applications and services across Europe by the end of 2010."

The program includes the expansion of Smoothstone's cloud-based
applications platform into several European data centers, resulting in
increased transatlantic network capacity and the ability for local number
porting, call origination and termination in European countries.

Enterprise customers, with the need to deploy a consistent set of
communication and collaboration tools across a distributed and mobile
workforce, will benefit from Smoothstone's cloud-based application and
services, which drive increased productivity while driving down the costs and
complexity of deploying and managing enterprise-wide, next-generation IP
services.

"Smoothstone has maintained a consistent focus on serving the needs of
the distributed enterprise," said Amy Lind, an analyst with IDC. "Expanding
its service coverage to European markets is a significant and strategic next
step for Smoothstone. By delivering services outside the United States,
Smoothstone is able to provide services to customers that prefer to have a
single provider for all their communications needs."

Services in United Kingdom, France, Germany and Switzerland are available
immediately.
