Cygnal Technologies to Act as Distributor for Mediatrix VoIP Access Devices



White Radio LP ("White Radio"), a subsidiary of Cygnal Technologies Corp. (TSX: CYN), has signed a distribution agreement with Mediatrix Telecom Inc., a leading provider of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) access technology.

White Radio will act as a stocking distributor of the Mediatrix line of advanced VoIP access devices, distributing the equipment to system integrators, VARs, and internet telephone service providers (ITSPs) across North America. The devices are used to connect conventional telephones, fax machines, PBX and Key Systems to an IP telephony network. Targeted end users include small businesses and enterprises who wish to enjoy the benefits of VoIP technology without major upgrades to their legacy telephone systems.

"We see tremendous opportunities in the VoIP market, and we are excited to be working with Mediatrix, one of the clear leaders in this space," said John Milne, President and General Manager, White Radio. "Recent rulings by the CRTC and FCC have cleared the way for ITSPs to aggressively market VoIP services. We are seeing evidence of strong demand in the marketplace, with our sales of Mediatrix products going from zero to $100,000 since August. We anticipate several million dollars of sales of this product line in 2006."

"White Radio offers the national coverage and distribution resources we need to satisfy market demands for a 'just-in-time' inventory model," said Alex Suter, Vice President, Worldwide Sales and Business Development for Mediatrix. "Their established dealer network, combined with their training and technical support capabilities, will help us get our products to market quickly and effectively."

Since its establishment in 1925, White Radio has become a Canadian market leader in the distribution of products in the audio/video, communications, telecom, wireless & TDM and contractor markets. White Radio has a national network of salespeople and operates from two principal locations in Burlington, Ontario and Burnaby, British Columbia. The Company offers a full range of technologies and solutions for integrators and service providers. White Radio has expertise in voice, video and data solutions over traditional and next generation converged technologies.
