SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA - May 31, 2005 - Yipes Enterprise Services, Inc. (www.yipes.com), the pioneer in managed, end-to-end Ethernet solutions, today announced that Junction Networks has selected Yipes to deliver a suite of VoIP services over its global Ethernet network.

 

The newly available VoIP services are tailored for enterprises migrating to a converged voice and data infrastructure and provided by Newtown, Penn.-based Junction Networks (www.junctionnetworks.com).

 

Many enterprises have taken the first step towards IP-enabled voice; the implementation of an internal VoIP infrastructure. Now, enterprises are extending the reach of their VoIP capabilities by leveraging external VoIP connections to access long distance providers and business partners.

 

The combination of Yipes' world-class Ethernet network and Junction Networks' VoIP suite accelerates this important next step. Yipes' customers can get VoIP inbound, outbound and conferencing services directly from Junction Networks, eliminating the need for local loops to a long distance carrier.

 

Junction Networks leverages multiple providers in order to deliver redundant, cost effective origination and termination services to enterprises via SIP or IAX protocols. With one connection on the Yipes network, enterprises can extend their VoIP capabilities with VoIP inbound and outbound calling.

 

"We are pleased that Junction Networks has selected Yipes. We are excited to add Junction Networks to our growing list of value added service providers available on the Yipes network," said Keao Caindec, Yipes vice president of marketing.

 

Junction Networks connects to Yipes at 60 Hudson Street, New York.

 

"For most enterprises today, the critical factor impacting the decision to migrate to VoIP is the quality of the network that will carry an organization's voice traffic. The high quality and low latency of the Yipes network eliminate this factor from the equation," said Robert Wolpov, President of Junction Networks.
