- Octasic joins Microsoft's Windows Embedded Partner Program -

MONTREAL, Quebec, April 30, 2007 - Octasic, the voice quality experts, today
announced the release of SoftEcho for Mobile Phones. Equipped with Windows Embedded
technology, SoftEcho will dramatically improve the call quality for mobile
manufacturers and softphones running the Windows Mobile operating system,
particularly evident when in hands-free mode.

"While many vendors try to bundle features to make their echo cancellation solution
more desirable, our efforts are focused on improving call clarity," said Fabio
Gambacorta, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Octasic. "There is a clear
difference between products utilizing SoftEcho for Mobile Phones and those that
don't."

Octasic's algorithm results in seamless transition from handset to speaker mode with
no tweaking required. SoftEcho's unique auto-tuning feature allows the product to
adjust to any set-up, be it speaker, handset, or Bluetooth. The product provides
flawless "double-talk" performance and its wideband support results in richer voice
quality. In contrast, poor echo solutions will actually cause a degradation of voice
quality over time.

In conjunction with the release of SoftEcho for Mobile Phones, Octasic also
announced that they joined Microsoft's Windows Embedded Partner Program (WEP). WEP
is a strategic worldwide program focused on providing partnering and co-marketing
opportunities to companies delivering products, services or solutions based on
Microsoft Windows Embedded platforms.

Windows Embedded partners, with over 2,000 members in more than 60 countries, can be
viewed as extensions of the company.
"SoftEcho for Mobile Phones will provide manufacturers in the Windows Embedded
Community with the tools they need to offer higher quality product," Gambacorta
concluded. "Our affiliation with the Windows Embedded Partner Program solidifies our
commitment to delivering the very best VoIP solution on the market."
