London, England -March 14, 2007 – XConnect, global leader in VoIP Peering and ENUM solutions, today announced that it has been named to the 2007 “Pulver 100” – the IP Communications industry’s premier listing of privately-held growth companies that represent the future of the IP-voice and video communications ecosystem. XConnect has been named to the list due to the high growth in its innovative, secure VoIP Peering federations: including the XConnect Global Alliance, XConnect Private Federations and XConnect DirectRoute solutions.
XConnect’s industry leading VoIP Peering and ENUM solutions have been adopted by over 400 service providers in 35 countries representing millions of VoIP enabled subscribers. With its strategic partner Kayote Communications, XConnect is also uniquely developing national private peering federations, including the SIP Exchange created for the consortium of cable companies in the Netherlands. XConnect has also extended the benefits of VoIP Peering to the wholesale marketplace with its DirectRoute product which helps VoIP Carriers monetize their inbound traffic and wholesale carriers lower their termination costs via direct ENUM driven routing.
XConnect will be exhibiting at the Spring Voice and Video On the Net (VON) expo and conference in San Jose, CA March 19 -23rd in booth 1833. Eli Katz, CEO of XConnect will be presenting on Voice Peering federations at the show, Thursday, March 22nd, 9:00 -10:15 in Room B4.
“The Pulver 100 is the IP Communications industry’s first and foremost award listing, and it continues to grow in significance, because companies like XConnect, continue to spread IP communications via their VoIP Peering and ENUM solutions said Carl Ford, Vice President of Content and Community for Pulvermedia. “We’re proud to name XConnect to this year’s Pulver 100.”
“With more than 400 service providers in our network, XConnect has emerged as the de facto leader in VoIP Peering Federations and ENUM Registries” said Eli Katz, CEO of XConnect. “We’re honored that Pulver Media recognizes both our leading role in the development of the voice peering space, as well as how we’ve grown the business to support voice and video, and we look towards 2007 as a year of widespread enablement of secure, rich multi-media end-to-end IP Communications.”
