Dynamic Growth & Increasing Demand for MERA Session Controller Technology Enable MERA Systems to Win Pulver 100 Award

Melville, New York, — September 27, 2004 — MERA Systems, Inc., a provider of feature-rich VoIP solutions for carriers and service providers, announced today that it has been named to the 2004 "Pulver 100" — the VoIP industry's premiere listing of privately held growth companies that represent the future of the communications ecosystem. MERA Systems (www.mera-systems.com) has been named to the list in virtue of the Company's dynamic growth and surging demand for MERA's MVTS Session Controller technology.

MERA Systems develops industry-leading IP Telephony products and solutions that enable VoIP carriers and service providers to deliver real-time voice services across packet networks. MERA's award-winning MVTS is a carrier-class session controller that scales up to 40,000 concurrent calls, supports SIP, H.323 and their dialects, and provides call admission control, QoS management, SLA assurance, and other features indispensable in end-to-end network management. The unique feature set implemented in the MVTS constitutes in the aggregate a truly carrier-grade solution facing a steadily growing interest from VoIP service providers across the globe.

"2004 has been the year of VoIP — in large part due to companies like MERA Systems, that have helped spread IP communications via their creative IP telephony solutions, which offer users the finest voice quality, performance, and customization capacity," says Jeff Pulver, CEO of pulver.com. "We are proud to name MERA Systems to this year's pulver100."

"It is really an honor and pleasure for us to be among pulver100 nominees," says Konstantin Nikashov, CEO of MERA Systems. "We are committed to delivering top-grade solutions that efficiently handle large traffic volumes, streamline the network management and structure, and ensure business-critical levels of reliability and security. The technology we provide enables carriers to maintain maximum efficiency of their networks, and I believe this is a major reason why we are on the list."

MERA is a pioneer of the session control technology: it released its carrier-grade MVTS in 2001, when VoIP was still immature and the notion of session controllers rather vague. Throughout these years, MERA has played a significant role in shaping the industry of packet communications through delivering premiere voice quality, reliability and scalability to carriers and service providers. Today, MERA is a recognized leader in customer deployments — the MERA Session Controller is operated on over 250 networks in 33 countries of the world. The MVTS Session Controller is bridging 'islands of VoIP' into a fully integrated, standards-based communication infrastructure embracing carriers, enterprises and consumers.
