China Telecom Chooses VocalTec to
Supply Full Turnkey Solution for
Nationwide Ip Telephony Trial
Network

HERZLIYA, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 26, 1999--VocalTec Communications Ltd.
(Nasdaq: VOCL - news) today announced that China Telecom has chosen VocalTec to provide a
full turnkey Internet protocol (IP) telephony solution for its nationwide IP Telephony Trial Network.
China Telecom is the largest telecommunications carrier in China. Today's news is being announced
at a ceremony in Beijing attended by an Israeli state delegation to China including the President of
Israel, Ezer Weizman, high officials from the Chinese Government, Doron Zinger, president and CEO
of VocalTec, and senior officials of China Telecom.

China Telecom has chosen VocalTec's end-to-end IP telephony software solution based on the
VocalTec Ensemble Architecture multi-service platform after intensive technical testing. China
Telecom's selection of VocalTec is based on VocalTec's complete platform. As part of the turnkey
solution, VocalTec is also providing the supporting hardware for this project.

Scheduled to launch for service trials shortly, China Telecom's IP Telephony Trial Network will
connect China Telecom's Chinanet, the largest nationwide managed IP network, and the public
switched telephone network (PSTN) based on the VocalTec Ensemble Architecture end-to-end
solution. Initially, a network operation center (NOC) has been installed in Beijing which will include
the VocalTec Gatekeeper, the nerve center of the IP telephony network for centralized control of
routing, billing and network management. VocalTec Telephony Gateways, which convert voice calls
between circuit and packet switched networks, have also been installed.

VocalTec also announced that the company is opening an office in Beijing to assist China Telecom as
it serves its rapidly growing market. In a nation of over 1.2 billion people, China has more telephone
lines than any country except the United States. With its current growth rate, China will soon have
more telephone lines than any other country.

''We are honored to have been chosen by China Telecom, the largest carrier in China,'' said Doron
Zinger, president and chief executive officer at VocalTec Communications. ''Today's announcement
is further proof that IP telephony is becoming a preferred platform for established carriers and that
the VocalTec Ensemble Architecture is a leading choice for the rapid deployment of basic and
enhanced IP telephony services. We are in the process of opening an office in China to expand our
presence in the Asia-pacific market and to better service China Telecom and other carriers in the
region.''
