Fairfield, NJ, (January 15, 2008) — Critical Links today announced it will have the latest version of its edgebox on display at TMC’s (News - Alert) INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO East 2008, January 23-25, 2008 at the Miami Beach Convention Center in Miami, Florida (www.itexpo.com).

INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO is the world’s largest and best-attended IP Communications trade show. Last year’s east coast event, held in South Florida in January, drew over 7,000 buyers and sellers of IP Communications products and services. The upcoming show in January will be the 17th INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO, and TMC projects total attendance to exceed 7,500.

“Critical Links participation at INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO exemplifies why this show is widely recognized as the #1 venue where service providers, enterprises, government agencies, developers and resellers gather to learn about the benefits inherent in IP Communications products and services,” saidRich Tehrani ( News - Alert), TMC President. “The evolution in this industry has been monumental and it still continues to grow. We are proud to have Critical Links and its edgebox as a key part of this year’s program.”

The award winning edgebox is now available as an appliance, in three form factors to optimally serve the up to 30 users, up to 100 users and up to 300 users segments. These platforms provide the entire gamut of Voice, Data and IT services that are required in a SMB environment, in a single physical box, and can be deployed in a telephone closet or in a standard rack. The feature set encompasses VOIP/IP-PBX, Routing, NAC, Security, QoS, WiFi Access, Storage and Collaboration applications; in addition, applications specifically useful to certain vertical segments (academic institutions, hospitality industry etc) are also provided.

“The edgebox dramatically simplifies the ICT infrastructure of a SMB and correspondingly reduces the associated Total Cost of Ownership with supporting similar functions,” said Abdul Kasim, Vice President of Marketing & Business Development at Critical Links. “Offering it as an appliance greatly simplifies the deployment and provides our partners and customers with the assurance that comes from complete integration and pre-testing. In addition, the edgebox can now be deployed in a fault-tolerant architecture, further mitigating any impact of failure.”
