LAS VEGAS, NV – November 28, 2006 -- CommPartners, a nationwide IP-based network operator providing wholesale VoIP and enhanced IP applications to carriers, strategic partners, and VARS , today announced the nationwide launch and availability of CommPartners Connect™ for Linksys® One.

The new CommPartners offering provides activation, network services, and automated service delivery for the Linksys hosted communications platform called Linksys® One. Linksys One is an affordable, easy-to-install Internet Protocol (IP)-based services platform that enables the delivery of data, voice and video applications to small businesses. CommPartners announced in September that it had purchased the network hardware to host the Linksys One service and that it would install it in time for a nationwide service launch this year.

The new CommPartners Connect™ for Linksys® One service is now available throughout the continental US and Hawaii , and is sold, installed, and serviced by Value Added Resellers (VARs) certified on Linksys One products.

“With the Linksys One platform integrated into our IP network core, CommPartners is well positioned to drive new revenue streams and attract new reseller partners whose customers are demanding an easy, affordable, and high quality IP communications solution for the small business market,” said Dave Clark , CE0 and co-founder of CommPartners. “Through the Linksys VAR channel, CommPartners is delivering the Linksys One platform and CommPartners Connect network services as a fully-integrated IP communications solution for small business customers.”

“CommPartners is an ideal service provider partner to host the Linksys One platform,” said, Richard Platt, Linksys VP/GM of the Small Business Systems Business Unit. “CommPartners' nationwide IP network coverage, CLEC status, indirect sales model, and billing platform well positions the company to successfully launch the Linksys One platform into the Linksys certified VAR channel and capitalize on the sizeable opportunity in the small business communications market.”

In addition to working with existing Linksys VARs, CommPartners and Linksys are actively recruiting VARs to become trained and authorized to sell Linksys One products on the CommPartners network. Linksys VARs can register for a free trial activation of the Linksys One demonstration hardware using CommPartners Connect™ services at https://connect.commpartners.us and register at the same site to sell CommPartners Connect™ for Linksys® One services for a one time fee of $100.

“The Linksys One ‘plug and play' technology automatically provisions pre-configured phones, switches, access points, and other LAN attached devices in minutes,” said Clark . “CommPartners Connect™ for Linksys® One is an attractive product for VARs who will realize increased profitability and sales productivity because Linksys One is designed to be easy to install, maintain, and expand. VARs also earn a monthly recurring revenue stream from CommPartners that in effect builds an evergreen annuity.”

The Linksys One platform includes integrated data and voice products coupled with communications and network services provided by CommPartners including local and long distance calling, toll free services, local number portability, directory listings, E911, security, monitoring, management, and Quality of Service (QoS) for Voice over IP (VoIP). CommPartners also offers managed T-1 access in designated markets that can be sold in conjunction with CommPartners Connect™ services.

For Small Business Customers:

The combination of Linksys One hardware (Services Router, IP Phones, and Gateway) and CommPartners' network services specifically developed for the small and medium-sized business customer makes affordable, converged communications a reality. Instead of paying for and managing separate internet access, phone system, and computer networks, small businesses have one converged services infrastructure with Linksys One for everything: phones, fax, data networking, Internet and business applications. All the small business customer has to do is contact a VAR offering Linksys One, select the number of Linksys One devices and services they'll need, and their entire office can be set up in as little as one hour using the CommPartners Connect for Linksys One network and services platform. CommPartners Connect for Linksys One takes the burden of communications technology away, leaving small businesses free to focus on growing their business while realizing the cost and productivity advantages of enhanced IP communications. CommPartners Connect for Linksys One line pricing plans include unlimited local and long distance calling in North America for $39.95 per line. Services are sold on a “per line” as opposed to a “per user” basis which is a more economically attractive offering for the SMB market to purchase their IP communications services. CommPartners also offers local telephone numbers, local number portability (LNP), operator and directory assistance, directory listings, and E911.

For Value–Added Resellers (VARS):

There is an increasing demand for hosted services within the small business market for the Linksys One platform. VARs now have a unique opportunity to provide their customers with one complete hosted communication service and localized customer support. By partnering with CommPartners, VARs can deliver all of the communication services a small business typically needs including local, long distance, and toll free calls, and other advanced IP-services. CommPartners Connect™ for Linksys® One allows the VAR to take advantage of the CommPartners network and Competitive Local Exchange Carrier status, increase the scope of relationship with the customer, and generate monthly recurring revenues from the on-going relationship with the business user paid by CommPartners. VAR evergreen commissions are based on all CommPartners Connect for Linksys One billings including line charges, toll free services, and all usage-based services including international long distance, operator and directory assistance. All of these services can be delivered via a certified Linksys One VAR offering a hosted service from CommPartners and managed via a secure web-portal.
