Digerati Advances With Its SIP Trunking Certification

SAN ANTONIO, TX--(Marketwire - May 9, 2012) - Digerati Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: DTGI) (OTCQB: DTGI), an established and award-winning provider of cloud communication services, announced today an update on its SIP trunking service. SIP trunking is a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) connection used by Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service providers to connect business telephone systems to the public switched telephone network. Digerati's SIP trunking service allows customers with an IP-enabled PBX or SIP gateway device to connect to Digerati's cloud platform and have their telephony traffic carried via Internet protocol, providing a lower cost and far more scalable alternative to traditional plain old telephone service (POTS).

To date, Digerati has internally pre-certified many premise based IP-PBX solutions including Cisco CM/CME, ADTRAN, 3CX, snomONE, CudaTel and Switchvox along with other platform variations developed around FreeSwitch and Asterisk. The pre-certified solution delivers an efficient way to make communications more flexible and cost effective rather than traditional T-1/E-1 solutions. This internal certification process facilitates the provisioning of services by Digerati's Value Added Resellers (VARs) by providing step-by-step configuration guidelines, thus accelerating the path to new revenue.

Ken Ryon, Sr. Vice President-Engineering of Digerati, stated, "The progress we have made during our initial phase of certification has provided us with the confidence and procedural knowledge required to move to the next stage of certification. Most importantly, we have laid the foundation necessary to begin scheduling time with the manufactures to complete their certification programs. We have a long list to run through, but our initial shortlist includes Cisco, Panasonic, ADTRAN, Microsoft, ShoreTel, Avaya and snomONE. By utilizing our VARs that are certified resellers of these platforms, we believe we can expedite the lengthier certification programs while certifying some of the smaller software centric IP-PBX providers in parallel."

Digerati is a three-time recipient of Deloitte and Touche's Fast 500 Award for recognition as one of the 500 fastest growing technology companies in North America.
