Siemens Selects Natural MicroSystems'(NMSS) Fusion IP Telephony Technology Siemens Integrates NMS Technology Into IP Telephony Gateways for Enterprise and Service Provider Customers FRAMINGHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 14, 1999--Natural MicroSystems (NASDAQ:NMSS - news), the technology leader in Open Telecommunications(TM), today announced that Siemens Information and Communication Networks has selected Natural MicroSystems' Fusion(TM) IP Telephony technology as the platform for Release 2.0 of its Hicom® Xpress Telephony Internet Server (TIS), a Windows NT-based gateway that enables voice and real-time fax calls over IP-based networks. Leveraging the open architecture and flexible ISDN support of Natural MicroSystems' Fusion platform has enabled Siemens to quickly bring to market programmable IP telephony gateways that easily integrate with the company's existing Hicom Communication Server, thereby maintaining networking features for IP telephony users. ''Partnering with Natural MicroSystems enables us to bring extensible IP telephony solutions to market quickly and cost-effectively,'' said Kurt Renz, president of Siemens Enterprise Switching Networks Division, Munich. ''IP telephony presents tremendous opportunities for Siemens and our customers, and we're very excited to have Natural MicroSystems as a technology partner.'' ''Open, programmable platforms are important for the integration of voice and data in both public and private communications networks,'' said Bob Schechter, Chairman and CEO of Natural MicroSystems. ''Siemens, a world leader in telecommunications solutions, is clearly committed to a leadership position in the dynamic IP telephony market, and we're very pleased that they're taking the open systems approach with our Fusion technology.'' Fusion Fusion is the most highly-scalable IP telephony gateway platform in the industry, supporting multiple T- or E-spans per chassis with high-quality voice and real-time fax capability. Combined with Natural MicroSystems' CT Access integrated software development environment, Fusion simplifies the development of high-performance, multi-media gateways and communications servers for enterprise and network solutions. Fusion uses an intelligent hardware and software architecture that integrates Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) interfaces, telephony protocols, speech encoding, LAN interfaces and data protocols into a cohesive, open and scalable development platform. Additionally, Fusion supports the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) H.323 standard to support calls from a wide range of IP Telephony clients including Microsoft NetMeeting, Netscape Conference, NetSpeak WebPhone and VocalTec Iphone. Fusion is interoperable with other gateways that support the H.323 protocol.
