Press Releases FiberNet Strengthens Phonomenum™ Carrier-Grade Technology Platform with Nominum Feb 7 2006 Nominum Will Ensure High Scalability of VoIP Peering Exchange New York – February 7, 2006 – FiberNet Telecom Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: FTGX), a leading provider of complex interconnection services, today announced that it has deployed Nominum’s IP naming solution to increase the scalability and reliability of Phonomenum™, FiberNet’s Voice-over-IP (VoIP) peering exchange. Phonomenum™ is a carrier-class, ENUM-based technology platform that enables carriers, cable operators and VoIP service providers to establish peering connections and exchange VoIP traffic. Nominum’s carrier-grade IP naming solution will allow FiberNet to scale its service to hundreds of millions of phone numbers while delivering millisecond response times. With Nominum, Phonomenum™ customers will be able to complete calls within a rigorous latency budget and with reliable qualities of service. “A VoIP peering exchange requires an always-on IP infrastructure that can meet or exceed telephony expectations,” said Ernest Hoffmann, vice president of engineering, FiberNet. “We wanted to design a service that could handle hundreds of millions of phone numbers as demand for VoIP services grow. We conducted a thorough analysis and quickly determined that most vendors had very limited implementations based on extensions to open source, whereas Nominum provided the best high-performance/high-availability commercial-grade solution.” “FiberNet’s peering exchange provides a critical federation point for VoIP services,” said Tom Tovar, vice president of sales and business development, Nominum. “VoIP is a real-time application that demands the highest performance and availability provided by Nominum’s solutions. We are delighted by FiberNet’s decision and look forward to a fruitful relationship.” About Nominum: Nominum is the leading provider of IP address infrastructure solutions for Global 2000 companies.
