Xten Announces new Softphone Product - eyeBeam

Xten(R) Expands SIP Softphone Offering to include support for Wireless 
CDMA Networks, Video Conferencing and Instant Messaging

Xten demonstrates its newest SIP softphone eyeBeam(TM) at Supercomm 
eyeBeam is slated for commercial release in October 2004

 SUPERCOMM '04, McCormick Place, Booth No. 13840O. SANTA CLARA, CA, 
June 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Xten (OTCBB: XNWK - News) today 
announced the upcoming release of its newest carrier-grade SIP 
softphone - eyeBeam. eyeBeam will offer significant enhancements to 
Xten's current commercial SIP softphones, delivering features not yet 
seen in the VoIP and IP telephony industries.


 The eyeBeam feature set includes all of the robust SIP telephony 
features expected from Xten, plus H.263 and H.264 IP video 
conferencing, CDMA cellular network support and a host of new IP 
telephony features.

The eyeBeam production software and low-level SDK will support wireless 
CDMA cellular networks, like those offered by Sprint, Verizon and 
Telus. Wireless Carriers will be able to provide direct calling from 
eyeBeam SIP softphones to cellular phones, and visa versa, without any 
transcoding. To see the eyeBeam CDMA network diagram visit

"The implications of our recent achievements are far reaching! Based on 
our research, eyeBeam is the first SIP softphone in VoIP history to 
complete bi-directional full duplex voice calls to and from a wireless 
CDMA cellular phone without the aid of a Media Gateway," explains Erik 
Lagerway, President and Chief Operating Officer of Xten. "Wireless 
carriers could realize significant reductions in equipment costs alone, 
not to mention the flat-rate revenue potential for calling plans which 
offer calls between Internet-based SIP softphones and wireless cellular 
phones. Wireless VoIP suddenly has a whole new meaning!"

The upcoming Beta release of eyeBeam will only be available to select 
Xten partners, with the commercial release scheduled for October. Open 
standards based Instant Messaging and Encryption will be available 
later in the fall.

Xten's softphones are carrier-grade IP telephony SIP endpoints, 
delivering the quality of service and features large providers require 
for their customer base. Xten's feature-rich FREE SIP softphone - 
X-Lite(TM) - does not include some of the advanced features found in 
our commercial software but still provides superior call quality. 
Xten's softphones are fully RFC3261 (SIP), RTP/RTCP (RFC 1889) and SDP 
(RFC 3264) compliant. They are available for Windows (Windows 
98SE/ME/NT 4/2000/XP/CE), Mac OS X, Linspire and Pocket PC operating 
systems.
