Eyeball Networks awarded “Best of Show” at Internet Telephony Conference and Expo

VANCOUVER, BC (Nov 18, 2006) – Eyeball Networks Inc., a pioneer in Voice over IP (VoIP), video telephony, and instant messaging software, announces that its Any-Firewall™ Engine Software Development Kit (SDK) has been named a "Best of Show" winner at Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC)'s Internet Telephony Conference & Expo San Diego 2006.

Eyeball’s Any-Firewall Engine is the industry's most comprehensive, standards-based NAT traversal Software Development Kit (SDK) for guaranteed VoIP and video call completion across NATs, firewalls, and Web proxies. The software incorporates IETF standards including STUN, TURN and ICE and works with third party SIP stacks, enabling application developers and device makers to implement advanced firewall and NAT traversal features into their communications products.

"We are honored to be recognized by TMC with the ‘Best of Show’ award for Eyeball’s Any-Firewall Engine," said Dr. Shahadat Khan, Chief Technology Officer, Eyeball Networks. ”This product addresses one of the biggest challenges facing widespread VoIP adoption. Our solution meets two major requirements from the VoIP service providers: it is standards-based to guarantee highest interoperability, and it is very scalable with service growth since most calls are completed using peer-to-peer media delivery.”

The award recognizes innovative products and solutions that were featured in the Exhibit Hall during the event. This designation serves to highlight the technological achievement and creative product features that set these winners apart from the rest of the crowd. "These companies are pioneers and are responsible for the amazing growth in the VoIP market this year. Selecting Best of Show winners each year becomes more and more difficult as the solutions displayed on the exhibit floor become more and more impressive. Every product is worthy of distinction, therefore you can rest assured that the companies and products on the list this year represent truly outstanding achievement in IP telephony," said Rich Tehrani, president and group editor-in-chief of TMC®.
