<p><strong>Miercom Awards Performance Verified Certification to the Dialogic BorderNet<br />
4000 Session Border Controller</strong><br />
Dialogic addresses the complexity of interconnecting networks and delivering seamless<br />
next generation IP based multimedia services<br />
Milpitas, CA – April 10, 2012 – Dialogic Inc. (NASDAQ: DLGC), a leading provider of<br />
communications technologies that enhance the end-to-end mobile experience, announced<br />
today that Miercom, a leading independent test lab, has awarded the Dialogic®<br />
BorderNet™ 4000 Session Border Controller (SBC) its Performance Verified designation<br />
for its overall performance, scalability and resiliency. The BorderNet 4000 SBC, the<br />
newest addition to the Dialogic BorderNet family of SBC solutions, is unique in its<br />
ability to support 600 Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) sessions per second and scale up<br />
to 32,000 simultaneous sessions in a 1 rack unit (RU) appliance. The BorderNet 4000<br />
SBC was able to successfully maintain functionality while withstanding various<br />
malicious attacks and extreme load conditions during the Miercom evaluation with no<br />
dropped calls and little impact on system resources. The full Miercom test report can be<br />
found at www.miercom.com/dialogic.<br />
Service providers are faced with real-world challenges as they transform their networks<br />
and services to all-IP and enable them to deliver innovative multimedia services to their<br />
customers. These new services are requiring the use of multiple networks to provide an<br />
end-to-end service that connects consumers and content. The BorderNet 4000 SBC<br />
delivers an important set of peering features that allow service providers to securely and<br />
seamlessly connect to their peering partners and wholesale customers.<br />
“The demand for network-to-network IP interconnection is expanding,” said Diane<br />
Myers, Directing Analyst for VoIP and IMS at Infonetics. “Session border controllers are<br />
an integral component for service providers as they retool their existing voice networks in<br />
order to support next gen services and Voice over LTE (VoLTE). The BorderNet 4000<br />
SBC fits in well with this service provider strategy by focusing on security, scalability,<br />
signaling interworking, as well as ease-of-use to help this transition.”<br />
The BorderNet 4000 SBC includes four 1+1 protected 1GigE interfaces, redundant hot<br />
swappable power supplies and hard drives, and supports a hitless, high availability<br />
configuration option to provide carrier-grade five 9’s (99.999%) performance. As part of<br />
the base configuration, Dialogic has also added an advanced web-based user interface<br />
and management dashboard along with streamlined configuration and provisioning tools<br />
that enable fast set up of either SIP or H.323 based peering interconnects. An intuitive<br />
menu driven SIP header manipulation tool allows service providers to easily connect<br />
diverse SIP-based networks with different signaling characteristics in a seamless manner<br />
and facilitate the delivery of end-to-end IP voice services across different service<br />
provider domains.<br />
The BorderNet 4000 SBC has advanced security features that include customizable<br />
signaling and media topology hiding, protection against DoS attacks, real-time inspection<br />
of message syntax and semantics, multi-level traffic management, and adaptive overload<br />
controls. The Miercom award validates the performance of the capabilities Dialogic has<br />
engineered into the solution. “The Dialogic BorderNet 4000 delivered impressive<br />
performance,” said Robert Smithers, CEO of Miercom, “and it proved impervious to<br />
attempts to compromise its performance with attack traffic.”<br />
The BorderNet 4000 SBC is part of the BorderNet portfolio of session border controller<br />
solutions that include the BorderNet 3000 SBC for peering and access applications; the<br />
BorderNet 2020 SBC for valued added services, SIP trunking delivery and access<br />
applications; and the BorderNet 500 Enterprise SBC for SIP trunking and customer<br />
premise security and unified communications applications. “The BorderNet 4000 SBC is<br />
a great addition to the BorderNet portfolio of SBC solutions,” said Harold Klett, VP and<br />
GM of the Service Provider Infrastructure at Dialogic, “The BorderNet 4000 SBC<br />
incorporates innovative patent pending technology and was designed to align with next<br />
gen, 3G and 4G requirements making it a future proof solution well suited for both fixed<br />
and mobile service provider applications.”<br />
The BorderNet 4000 SBC is available now and shipping in both standard and high<br />
availability configurations. Learn more at http://www.dialogic.com/Products/sessionborder-<br />
controllers/bordernet-4000.aspx. Also, download a free white paper on session<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>RESTON, Va., April 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ &#8212; <span id="more-913"></span>As part of its ongoing commitment to deliver highly secure solutions to customers, Siemens Enterprise Communications announced today that several of its products have been certified secure by Miercom for their performance under the pressure of malicious threats. Miercom tested multiple Siemens Enterprise Communications solutions and found them to maintain integrity and functionality amid the most common threats, viruses, worms and attacks.</p>
<p>&#8220;We were impressed with the performance of the OpenScape systems&#8217; resiliency in maintaining full functionality while being subjected to malicious exploits and attacks,&#8221; said Rob Smithers, CEO, Miercom. &#8220;Miercom is pleased to present the Certified Secure Award to these OpenScape products.&#8221;</p>
<p>Miercom conducted numerous tests on the Siemens Enterprise Communications solutions to determine if there were any relevant security vulnerabilities that could be leveraged to the detriment of a customer. The testing found that the Siemens Enterprise Communications solutions were more secure than the majority of the other similar solutions tested by Miercom.</p>
<p>&#8220;This recognition from Miercom illustrates that not only are Siemens Enterprise Communications&#8217; products innovative in terms of architecture and functionality, but are also built to withstand the growing threat of malicious cyber threats,&#8221; said Rick Puskar, Senior Vice President, Global Portfolio Management, Siemens Enterprise Communications. &#8220;We strive to develop our products with the highest standards of security and we are proud to be honored by Miercom with these awards.&#8221;</p>
