Eutectics and NetGen Communications Awarded 2007 TMC Labs Innovation Award Presented By INTERNET TELEPHONY
IPP2000 FAX & FaxIP for Skype Honored for Outstanding Innovation Fairfield, NJ, June 21, 2007 — Eutectics and NetGen Communications announced today that Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC) named the IPP2000 FAX and FaxIP for Skype™ as a 2007 TMC Labs Innovation Award winner presented by INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine. The hardware-software combination allows the Skype™ user to send real-time faxes using T.38 between two Skype™-connected fax terminals anywhere in the world with no toll charges. T.38 is the international standard used by PSTN-gateways to send faxes across an IP network. In this case, the IPP2000 FAX enabled computers serve as the gateways over Skype™ using a patent-applied-for technology developed by NetGen.
“We are extremely pleased to be selected for this prestigious award by TMC, one of the most forward looking and influential voices in our industry”, said Don Fowler VP of Sales for Eutectics Inc. “We feel that the real growth opportunity for VoIP is clearly the SOHO/SME. IPP2000 Fax combined with FaxIP for Skype meets a great need in this sector: free real-time fax over Skype™.”
Tom Ray, NetGen Communications EVP, Marketing and Sales, added, “We believe that Skype™, followed by Google, AOL, and others may be redefining telecom. This partnership to bring fax-for-free to the SOHO/SME is only the first of many products that will ride this, the next telecom wave.”
“IPP 2000 FAX combined with FaxIP for Skype™ is clearly deserving of recognition in the VoIP sector of the IP Communications industry. We’re proud to reward the hard work of Eutectics and NetGen with a TMC Labs Innovation Award this year,” said TMC President Rich Tehrani.
According to Tom Keating, CTO and TMC Labs Editorial Director at TMC, “The Innovation Awards exemplify the best products and services that this industry has to offer. Eutectics and NetGen Communications have demonstrated a commitment to the further development of the IP communications industry with this product and marketing partnership. They deserve this honor, and I look forward to seeing other innovative solutions from them as they continue to contribute to the future of IP communications.”
Keating continued: “The TMC Labs Innovation Awards honor products that demonstrate raw innovation, unique features, and significant contributions toward improving communications technology. It’s not granted only to the best-selling products, but instead to those demonstrating raw innovation, uniqueness, and representing a significant contribution to the industry.”
2007 TMC Labs Innovation Award winners can be found in the July and August 2007 issues of INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine.

Real-Time Fax-Over-Skype Announced by Commetrex Spin-Off Send and Receive Faxes for Free
SAN JOSE, Calif., March 19 /PRNewswire/ -- VON Spring 2007 -- In a move
designed to please the legions of worldwide Skype users, NetGen
Communications, Inc., a spin-off of Commetrex Corp., announced FaxIP for
Skype. The product allows a Skype user to send faxes in real-time from fax
machine to fax machine anywhere in the world absolutely free.
Tom Ray, NetGen's chief marketing officer, emphasized the uniqueness of
NetGen's first product. "There are so-called virtual-fax or e-fax services
that have a Skype file-transfer interface for store-and-forward support of
fax-image files. But NetGen's product is not store-and-forward and does not
use a third-party fax service. It's real-time fax relay across the Skype
network. You feed the paper into the sending machine here, place the call,
and it comes out at the receiving machine there, all in real time ... a
legal document, if you will."
Ray further pointed out that NetGen's patent-pending Skype-compatible
technology takes advantage of Commetrex' industry-leading T.38 fax-relay,
Skype's peer-to-peer network, and a special version of the Eutectics
IPP2000 RJ-11-to-USB converter (see Eutectics Consumer IPP2000 ).
Don Fowler, Eutectics
Vice President of Sales, stressed the quality of the combined solution:
"Eutectics enterprise-class devices lead the industry in audio quality,
ease of use, ergonomic form, and total functionality. We see a terrific
opportunity working with NetGen to provide unique value to the SME and SOHO
via our new EoIP (Enterprise over IP) technology. The IPP2000-FAX is the
first in a line of products designed to fulfill this goal."
NetGen anticipates that the Skype-compatible product will be in retail
distribution in the second quarter of this year. Although the target price
of the solution has not yet been finalized, it is anticipated that it will
be in the $60-$75 range, including the Eutectics IPP2000. Versions for
Google Talk, AOL's Total Talk, etc. are planned. Also, releases with
enhanced functionality, for example real-time faxing from Microsoft Word,
are planned for later in 2007.
About NetGen Communications, Inc.
NetGen Communications, a spin-off of Commetrex(R) Corporation, a
technology innovation leader for the last decade, is bringing Web 2.0 to

NetGen is jumping on the Skype/Google wave to bring net-gen communications
and "service-oriented architectures" to businesses that would not otherwise
be able to access these new technologies. NetGen's first offering, the
FaxIP product suite, provides fax-for-free solutions for Skype, Google,
Yahoo! and AOL users. FaxIP for Skype will be available in mid-2007 and
will provide real-time fax between Skype-and-FaxIP-enabled computers
anywhere in the world. Beyond FaxIP, the company will integrate voice and
video with Web-based information to deliver functionally complete SME
communications systems.
