Roswell, GA, June 29, 2004 – Commetrex Corporation and Netergy Microelectronics,
Inc., a subsidiary of 8x8, Inc. (NASDAQ: EGHT), announced today that the two companies
have entered into an agreement whereby Commetrex will provide technical support to
licensees of Netergy’s Veracity Voice over IP (VoIP) embedded software technology.
Under an existing agreement, Netergy had licensed Commetrex’ fax modem and T.38
software technology and integrated the functions into Netergy’s Veracity software suite.
Veracity provides all of the industry-standard call-control protocols deployed in VoIP
networks today, including H.323v4, SIP, MGCP and Megaco, the G.7XX series of audio
codecs, and related network functions.
“We are pleased to work with Commetrex to provide existing Netergy customers with
access to technical support resources that can help them to realize their product-
development goals,” stated Bryan R. Martin, 8x8 chairman and CEO.
Commetrex' CEO, Mike Coffee, stated, “Given our focus on providing telecommunications
equipment developers with integrated software solutions, we believe that engaging with
Netergy and the Veracity customers is a natural evolution of our strategy.”
Netergy’s Veracity customers can contact Commetrex directly to arrange for support
services related to both the Veracity software suite and the Commetrex technologies.
