AudioCodes Announces New Analog Media Gateways to Support


Service Provider and Enterprise Voice over IP Applications
New AudioCodes gateways provide high-quality, feature-rich solution enabling large-
scale deployments and new market opportunities for service providers

Lod Israel, March 10, 2005 – Today at CeBIT, AudioCodes (Nasdaq: AUDC), a leading provider of
Voice over Packet (VoP) technologies and Voice Network products, announced new analog VoIP media
gateways as additions to its existing MediaPack™ product line. The MediaPack 112, MediaPack 114 and
MediaPack 118 are the latest members of AudioCodes analog media gateway product line addressing the
requirements of service providers and enterprises seeking high-quality, cost-effective, analog media
gateways.

As VoIP becomes attractive, and more service providers are choosing to deploy it, the new MediaPack
series addresses the service provider’s needs for MTU and Hosted Services applications. Dense
residential areas present a need for gateway installation within the complex, building’s wiring closet, or in
the street cabinet serving as MTUs, and providing VoIP services. Service providers taking advantage of
the Broadband access growth can offer enterprises the MediaPack to enable VoIP using their existing
phones, key systems and PBXs. Enterprises moving to IP PBX platforms can benefit from local PSTN
connectivity and legacy PBXs that interconnect using the MediaPack gateways.

The MediaPack 112, 114 and 118 are designed and optimized to address the needs of service providers
and enterprises for feature-rich, high quality analog media gateways. The MediaPacks enable a wide
range of applications including converged access, IP Centrex, fixed-mobile convergence, and next
generation PBXs. Simultaneous mixed interfaces of FXS and FXO, survivability, guaranteed QoS,
security and standard billing interfaces are examples of additional features in the new hardware and
software of the MediaPack product line. Integration with AudioCodes’ Element Management System
allows fast deployment and maintenance of large and complex networks for large scale service provider
deployments.

“We are witnessing an increasing demand for high-quality cost-effective analog media gateways. More
and more service providers are realizing that offering VoIP generates a new revenue stream, and
guarantees customer satisfaction and loyalty,” said Michael Grosman, Director of Product Marketing at
AudioCodes. “The new generation of MediaPack analog media gateways represents AudioCodes’
continuous investment and commitment to provide carriers and enterprises with the necessary
infrastructure to support the demands of their growing VoIP subscriber base.”

The MediaPack 112, 114 and 118 provide support for 2, 4 and 8 ports of FXS and FXO connectivity.
Based on AudioCodes’ acclaimed VoIPerfect™ architecture, the new gateways benefit from the
extensive market experience of AudioCodes analog media gateways. The MP-112/4/8 incorporate the
technology that achieved outstanding voice quality results in the latest “Speech Quality Test Event” held
by ETSI.

AudioCodes will be exhibiting at CeBIT in Hanover, Germany, from March 10-16, 2005 in Hall 13,
booth #A33. AudioCodes products including the new line of MediaPacks will be on display.
