Press Release Summary: VoSKY demonstrates new opportunities for advanced call
handling capabilities and lower telecom costs at VoiceCon 2008

Press Release Body: Orlando, FL., March 18, 2008 - VoSKY, the market leader in
developing Skype for business solutions, today announced that it has partnered with
AltiGen Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATGN) to provide new Skype-enabled
applications for remote communications. The partnership combines AltiGen's powerful
Voice over IP (VoIP) communication solutions with VoSKY's advanced Skype
applications. The new feature, Skype Extension Anywhere, enables companies to
seamlessly connect remote employees and frequent travelers through Skype's reliable
and scalable VoIP network - significantly reducing the costs of remote
communication.

Designed for the increasing popularity of remote workers, telecommuters, and virtual
offices across the enterprise, Skype Extension Anywhere allows remote employees to
tap into the corporate phone system using Skype. Using a Skype-enabled mobile phone,
Skype phone, or laptop with the free Skype client, workers can enjoy the same call
control functionality - including transfer, conferencing, reporting, voice
recording, and voicemail - from wherever they are, just as if they were sitting in
the office.

Skype Extension Anywhere activates any Skype-compatible device as a fully capable
office extension and transparently routes incoming calls to the remote device.
Routing calls over Skype's VoIP network ensures the high voice quality and service
reliability critical for business communication - giving companies an attractive
alternative to deploying SIP-based soft phones that rely on the public Internet.
Companies can cost-effectively add remote workers as demand increases, and only need
to deploy the free Skype client software.

"Work is no longer restricted to inside the four walls of the office. To effectively
mobilize the employee base, it's essential to equip remote workers with the same
communication tools as their colleagues in the office," said David Tang, VP of
Global Marketing at VoSKY. "With Skype Extension Anywhere, companies now have an
affordable and easy way to connect their mobile workforce."

"Partnering with VoSKY extends our enterprise communication solutions and gives
businesses a unique opportunity to reduce costs through VoIP, while benefiting from
Skype's flexibility, ease of management, and superior voice quality," said Jimmin
Yao, VP of Product Management at AltiGen. "Skype Extension Anywhere is just one
example of the innovative capabilities made possible through this partnership."

Additionally, companies can use VoSKY Exchange to lower their long-distance and
international phone bills through Skype's low cost SkypePro and SkypeOUT services.
VoSKY's reliable and high quality Skype trunking can be used in place of SIP
trunking, without any contracts or setup fees. With VoSKY Click-to-Call, companies
can optimize their web and email initiatives by allowing consumers to instantly talk
to a company representative via a free Skype call, offering immediate access to
Skype's 270 million+ user base.

VoSKY is showcasing the VoSKY Exchange, Skype Extension Anywhere and other
value-added business applications, from March 17-20 at VoiceCon 2008, at the Gaylord
Palms Hotel in Orlando, Florida, in booth 306.
