Aztek Networks Signs Distribution Agreement With Goldfield Telecom

Goldfield Telecom Becomes a Distributor for Aztek Networks' Innovative 5000S Emergency Stand Alone (ESA) Switch

Boulder, Colo. (June 11, 2007) - Aztek Networks, a leading independent provider of Emergency Stand Alone (ESA) switching products, announced today that it has selected voice and data communications equipment distributor Goldfield Telecom as a strategic supplier of the Aztek 5000S ESA switch. Goldfield Telecom will add Aztek's 5000S to its product line effective immediately.

"Our new relationship with Goldfield Telecom opens another important avenue for us to reach the independent telecom carriers and their customers with our industrytransforming local voice switching technology. We are happy to welcome them as strategic partners," said Spencer Punter, vice president of marketing and business development at Aztek Networks. "Goldfield Telecom is a well respected and highly trusted equipment supplier. Its decision to market and distribute Aztek Networks' 5000S allows carriers to economically build reliable next generation local loop networks that ensure subscribers have continuous local calling capability and vital access to 911 services."

"We continue to see an increasing number of requests from customers for open-standards local voice switching or emergency stand alone switching products, and that's why we're proud to carry Aztek Networks' 5000S," said Darrell Seaba, President of Goldfield Telecom. "Maintaining voice reliability, especially in emergency situations, weighs heavy on our customers' minds. The 5000S allows us to meet existing customer demand for such a product and provides a perfect solution to safeguard critical local voice calling capability."

The Aztek 5000S, with patent-pending True ESA™ technology, is the first and only open-standards, environmentally hardened and fully redundant ESA switch that constantly maintains local calling capability and subscriber access to emergency 911 services, even if the connection to the primary host switch is severed.

The Aztek 5000S is the only dedicated ESA solution that uses the open-standard GR-303 protocol. This allows the 5000S to act as a local voice switch for any open-standard access system. The 5000S continuously monitors the GR-303 signaling link between the access system and the host switch and only becomes active when the signaling link fails. If a failure occurs, the 5000S automatically assumes call control and maintains local calling capability and 911 services for all downstream access systems until the link with the host switch is restored.

The 5000S is compact, at only one-rack-unit high, making it the world's smallest and most versatile TDM Class 5 local voice switch, capable of both end office and field cabinet deployment.

The 5000S will be commercially available June 18, 2007
