Santa Clara, CA, July 8, 2008 - RHUB Communications, Inc. (RHUB) announced that it
has been selected as a CRN Emerging Tech Vendor by the Everything Channel, for the
Company's TurboMeeting Web conferencing appliances. CRN\'s Emerging Tech list
captures companies that are delivering high margins for solution providers with
innovative and easy-to-use technology that undercuts industry giants.

RHUB's TurboMeeting Web conferencing appliances provide state-of-the-art
conferencing with enhanced security and performance. TurboMeeting is ideal for
sharing confidential and proprietary data, and provides a full suite of practical
Web conferencing meeting types and features. TurboMeeting also offers full
"Universal Attendance" capability, where any attendee with a browser can join a

Web conferencing by combining multiple applications, including:

"The selection of RHUB as a CRN Emerging Tech Vendor demonstrates that RHUB is
offering truly superior Web conferencing technology," said Larry Dorie, CEO of RHUB
Communications. "Our customers are looking for better and more secure ways to
communicate and collaborate, both internally and externally, and improve
productivity. Web conferencing with RHUB's TurboMeeting efficiently facilitates
this, at lower cost than traditional solutions."

According to the CRN Emerging Tech Survey, the top reasons solution providers add
emerging technologies include: the technology is superior to other products in the
market segment; the technology compliments a solution providers' existing practice
areas; emerging vendors provide better services opportunities; emerging vendors pay
better attention to partners; emerging vendors offer higher margins, customers want
alternative product choices; and emerging vendors have better joint marketing
programs. In addition, 61 percent of solutions providers surveyed plan to increase
the number of emerging technology vendors they partner with in the next 12 months.

\"New vendor partners can help spur profitable new ideas that Solution Providers can
use to build revenue and customer loyalty, and the CRN Emerging Tech list is where
Solution Providers go to find these vendors,\" said Robert C. Demarzo, senior vice
president and editorial director, Everything Channel editorial.

Vendors who make the CRN Emerging Tech list must have an established solution
provider program and formal guidelines for recruiting channel partners. They must
demonstrate that its direct sales mix is trending down as evidenced by the company's
revenue history, a channel positive or channel neutral strategy for internal sales
compensation, and not be a dominant market share player. Final selection to the
Emerging Technology list was made at the discretion of the CRN editorial team after
a review of the submitted information and conversations with current or targeted
partners.
