CALGARY, Alberta, June 28, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- TransAKT Corp ("TransAKT" or the "Company") (OTCBB:TKTJF) announces today that the free downloadable version of its Voice over Internet Protocol ("VoIP") soft phone will be released on July 1, 2005.
The soft phone will enable all VoIP users to communicate with each other for free anywhere in the world through the use of a computer and a headset. The soft phone uses the Company's patented Network Address Translation ("NAT") transversal technology and proprietary network to provide users with the highest quality communication over both dial up and broadband connections.
A preview is available at www.transaktcorp.com/softphone.htm. Like Skype, the "free version" of our soft phone will be available for download globally, for all to use.
The pay version of the soft phone will also be released shortly. This version of the soft phone can be used on our network or on other networks as required and will be branded for other VoIP suppliers around the world like the popular XTen soft phone.
The addition of the soft phone to our offering makes TransAKT a complete end to end provider for VoIP solutions, with hardware, software, the network, and termination.
"We are very excited about the release of our free version of the soft phone," stated Daniel Pomerleau, President of TransAKT, "we expect that we will build on our client base and expand the global awareness of our Company through this effort. For comparison, Skype, who also offers a free soft phone, have indicated that they have had over 120,000,000 downloads. Once users experience the superior quality of our network we believe that they will move into our fully featured paid version and/or buy our hardware. The hardware would allow them to step away from their computer just like a regular phone. The fully featured pay version will allow for low long distance rates, video streaming, and free PC to PC calling."
