Telephony Professionals the Freedom of Movement

Press Release Body = BERLIN, GERMANY and SAN FRANCISCO - August 20, 2007 - snom
technology AG, developer and manufacturer of Voice-over-IP (VoIP) telephones, today
announced the launch of its Wireless Headset Adapter for VoIP phones. Suitable for
companies of all sizes, the adapter provides professionals using VoIP telephony
systems with increased office mobility.

The snom Wireless Headset Adapter has an EHS, non-mechanical interface between the
snom IP phone and wireless headset, conforming to vendor-specific as well as DHSG
standards. It allows for electronic reception of calls on the headset itself,
offering users the convenience of using a stationary phone while roaming freely
throughout the home or office. snom recommends use of its Wireless Headset Adapter
with GN and Plantronics headsets.

"Our mission is to offer our customers the latest and best in VoIP technology," said
Jan McNair, VP of GN, Office Stream. "With the option now available to use snom's
Wireless Headset Adapter with our headsets, customers no longer need to feel tied to
their desks when on the phone."

"Plantronics works closely with the world\'s leading IP communications providers to
ensure full functional integration between our VoIP products," said Joe McGrogan,
director of Business Solutions at Plantronics. "Combining our wireless headsets with
snom's Wireless Headset Adapter enhances the value of VoIP communications for
customers with hands-free mobility and the industry's best combination of audio,
style and comfort.\"

When the phone receives an incoming call, the ringing tone is signalled through the
wireless adapter to the headset. While some traditional headsets require the
activation of multiple buttons on both the portal and the actual phone, users of
snom's Wireless Headset Adapter can answer and terminate calls with the touch of a
button on the headset itself.

When Max ASP, a telesales and sales process automation company, recently switched to
an Asterisk®-based VoIP system, the company decided to use snom phones, and
compatible headsets by GN and Plantronics with the new snom Wireless Headset
Adapter.

"The transition went very smoothly, and thanks to the snom adapter, our agents are
able to make calls using their headsets - without the loss of audio quality
experienced during pre-VoIP times," said Adam Lamont-Brown, managing director of Max
ASP.

"Wireless headsets have become very popular in professional business environments,
particularly call centers," said Michael Knieling, CFO and executive vice president
of marketing and sales for snom. "Our Wireless Headset Adapter is the bridge between
professional VoIP telephony and professional wireless headsets."

The snom Wireless Headset Adapter is compatible with the snom 320, 360, and 370
phones. For pricing and availability, please visit www.snom.com.

snom will be exhibiting at VoiceCon San Francisco 2007 Aug. 20-23 in booth #734.
