MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – June 21, 2005. LignUp Corporation, a provider of Web services based converged communications solutions, today announced that Technology Marketing Corporation’s TMC Labs division named the LignUp Communications Solution as a 2005 Innovation Award winner for INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine.

"We are honored to receive this TMC award for innovation," said Kevin Nethercott, president and COO for LignUp Corporation. "This industry recognition reinforces the enthusiasm we have experienced among our channel and technology partners and, most importantly, the successes we have enjoyed among our growing list of customers. We look forward to continuing to provide the hosted telephony solutions existing and emerging service providers need to differentiate themselves in the marketplace and build revenue-driving, high value VoIP services.”

“The LignUp Communications Solution has clearly demonstrated to the staff of TMC Labs that LignUp’s hosted telephony service platform is truly innovative in the burgeoning hosted IP telephony industry. Never before in this industry has there been a greater need to highlight the most inventive VoIP products and services,” said Rich Tehrani, Group Publisher and Editor-in-Chief of INTERNET TELEPHONY.

“The TMC Labs Innovation Awards are based solely upon the uniqueness of the company’s offering or how pioneering the particular product or service is. It is not based on company revenue or number of products sold. It is based on the concept that LignUp is innovative and unique,” according to Tom Keating, CTO and TMC Labs Editorial Director.

Keating continued, “LignUp deserves this great honor for creating a ground-breaking Web services based telephony services platform. I look forward to seeing other innovative solutions from LignUp as they continue to pioneer the kinds of technologies upon which the communications of tomorrow will be built.”
