COMGATES' NEW SOFTSWITCH USES RADVISION'S MGCP AND H.323 ENABLING SOFTWARE
Mahwah, NJ, July 24th, 2000 -- RADVision (NASDAQ:RVSN), the leading provider of
award-winning, industry-standard products and technology for real-time voice and
video communication over IP, and ComGates, a leading developer of carrier-grade
VoIP platforms, announced today that RADVision's award-winning H.323 and MGCP
software will be integrated into ComGates' new carrier-class CSSW 4000

-protocols for real-time IP communications. The integration of RADVision's
market-leading enabling software technology into ComGates' carrier-class VoIP
platform provides a solution for carriers and service providers looking to
deploy value-added IP services for next-generation communication networks. The
combination of RADVision's market-proven interoperable technology and ComGates'
unique softswitch technology addresses several key issues for IP telephony and
streaming media such as scalability, connectivity, interoperability, and QoS.
The ComGates CSSW4000 Softswitch is scheduled for release in August 2000 and
will include the industry's first "multi-protocol, on-the-fly" capability, which
simultaneously supports H.323, SIP and MGCP.
According to ComGates' CEO, Jacob Tirosh, "The ComGates CSSW4000 Softswitch,

CSSW4000, are the critical component needed for seamless interworking between
the different protocols. The combination of RADVision's core IP telephony
technology with ComGates' softswitch will reduce the development and deployment
time for value-added next generation IP services."
