Press Release Summary: Surf announced that Auerswald, a well-known German producer

PBX solution.

Press Release Body: Surf Communication Solutions (“Surf”), a leading provider of
multimedia embedded processing solutions, announced today that Auerswald, a
well-known German producer and supplier of PBX solutions, has selected Surf’s DSP
chip-level multimedia processing solution, the Surf DSP-24™, for inclusion in its
COMmander® Basic.2 IP PBX solution.

The COMmander® Basic.2 is a professional PBX system that provides up to 48 extension
ports and internet telephony (VoIP). It supports primary rate (PRI) trunk line
connections or system telephones with 2-wire or 4-wire connections, and includes
functions such as LAN-TAPI or project related accounting of calls. Surf’s DSP
multimedia processing platform provides the processing power and transcoding
capabilities to support converged networks in this state-of-the-art IP PBX solution.
The COMmander® Basic.2 is scheduled for General Availability in Q2, 2008.

The Surf DSP-24, based on Texas Instruments’ C64x™ DSP generation, is a media
processing solution offering simultaneous support for multimedia convergence—Voice,
Video, and Data (Fax/Modem) —all running on a single DSP. Equipment manufacturers
who develop Media Gateways, IP PBX, CTI products, and other media-over-packet
applications find this solution ideal and optimized for their requirements, as well
as quick and easy to integrate into their hardware designs. All Surf products
support an easy migration path from voice to video, since the same API supports all
media types.

“Auerswald selected Surf’s technology for its wide range of continually evolving
media processing capabilities, which allows us to offer customers flexible solutions
that match their current and future density and media requirements,” said Oliver
Martin, Senior Product Manager, Auerswald. “In addition, three Surf DSPs do the work
of nine DSPs from our previous chip vendor, which makes our solutions even more
cost-effective than before.”

“We are pleased to be selected as Auerwald’s DSP supplier,” said Avi Harush, Surf’s
Sales Director, EMEA. “This project demonstrates how Surf\'s continuing R&D efforts
produce rich multimedia processing packages that meet our customers’ requirements
for cost-effective, scalable and comprehensive solutions.”
