Mauritian VoIP Provider Deploys MERA VoIP Softswitch Technology for Enhanced Routing and Network Management Capabilities

Toronto, ON, Canada - November 21, 2005 - MERA Systems, a forefront supplier of carrier-grade solutions for intelligent management of VoIP networks, today announced that Data Communications Ltd (DCL), one of the leading Mauritian VoIP providers, has deployed the MERA VoIP Transit Softswitch (MVTS) on its international network.

As a rapidly growing company, DCL needed a reliable and intelligent traffic management solution that would optimize VoIP traffic flows and accommodate for the company's ever-growing business needs. By deploying the MERA VoIP Transit Softswitch, DCL obtained a powerful smart routing tool providing dynamic cost and quality based call handling that allows the carrier to increase revenues and significantly reduce investment payback period. The MVTS features advanced scalability options that enable smooth and quick build-up of the network with minimal costs and effort and require no service interruption. The enhanced redundancy mechanisms add to the fault-tolerance and resiliency of the system. In addition, the MVTS provides a single point for collection of accounting and statistical data, to ensure accuracy and safety of all business-critical information.

"We have deployed MVTS to further improve our leadership in the market and enhance the quality of delivered services. MVTS provides centralized management of our network and enables seamless interoperability with multi-vendor equipment. We do not need to bother about interconnection with our customers and peering partners any more," says Jean Maurice Prosper, Operations Manager of Data Communications Ltd. "The SIP/H.323 translation functionality allowed us to get on the SIP train and to attract new, previously unreachable customers. Further, the MVTS is very easy in configuration and administration. Properly installed on the recommended platform it is a plug-and-forget solution. Our business performance has greatly improved and we are happy that we decided to place our stake on the MVTS."

"We have been in the VoIP business for over 5 years and understand all the customers' needs. Our engineers work relentlessly to improve the efficiency of our solutions and we are glad that the global acknowledgement of our products is constantly increasing. We are proud to be contributing to the development of VoIP in the emerging African market, and are willing to 'go the extra mile' to ensure that our solutions deliver all the functionality needed for intelligent control of VoIP networks," comments Konstantin Nikashov, CEO of MERA Systems, Inc.
