NYC-Based M5 Networks Celebrates Opening of Office in Rochester

Innovative business telephony company chooses Rochester for its high tech talent pool and business growth opportunities

Rochester, NY-
Manhattan-headquartered M5 Networks, Inc.
celebrated the opening of its Rochester office today as Mayor Robert
Duffy and Carlos Carballada, The City of Rochester's Commissioner of
Economic Development, officiated at a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the
company's new space at 4 Commercial Street, Suite 103, in downtown
Rochester. M5 Networks is a leading VoIP provider and is the pioneer in
developing a 'Voice as a Service' platform and infrastructure, which delivers breakthrough solutions for mid-size business phone communications.

Industry experts predict that in ten years businesses will replace
traditional phone system technology and capabilities with on-demand,
managed Internet-based services. More than half of Fortune 1000
companies have already converted to IP phone technology because they
know that a state-of-the-art telephony system can transform the way a
business operates. Unfortunately, these systems rarely meet the
expectations of midsize companies. Business and technology leaders
traditionally lack the resources to coordinate multiple phone
companies, manage hundreds of details, and sort through thousands of
features, which ultimately place great demands on their companies.

M5 serves a rapidly growing base of mid-sized businesses that recognize
that unlocking the power of their phone system is essential for
building their business, enhancing client relationships, and increasing
customer satisfaction. These companies benefit from phone system
capabilities delivered as an on-demand, managed service over an IP
network optimized for voice - something M5 calls, 'Voice as a Service.'
M5's Voice as a Service platform delivers three major advantages and
benefits: Active Service Management, or proactive, transparent service
from deployment through ongoing management and maintenance; Embedded
Continuity, or "baked-in" business continuity that goes far beyond
simple redundancy; and On-Demand Solutions, which provide the
actionable business breakthroughs for marketing, call center, staffing
and client service functions.

M5's other offices are in New York City
(corporate headquarters), Philadelphia and Chicago. Recently M5 began
looking at other cities to host its technology support staff function.
One of M5's top sales people, Phelim White, recommended Rochester
because his extended family was there and he was considering
relocating. Another top supporter of this move was M5's Manager of
Client Services, Jason Klinger, a R.I.T. alum who began his career in
Rochester, then moved to New York City but frequently spent his
weekends with friends in the area. M5's Director of Client Services,
Brent Barbara, also has a local tie - he is a graduate of the
University of Rochester, and was very eager to tap the area's strong
technological community for partners, clients and staff.

"We have a growing commitment to Rochester,"
says M5 President and CEO Dan Hoffman. "The area offers a
technologically savvy labor market and experienced business
professionals, who are attracted to the region's quality of life, plus
greater cost efficiencies. Having a presence in Rochester also gives us
the ability to personally connect with the growing numbers of mid-size
businesses from Albany to Ohio."

M5 is already signing on key clients and partners in the area and now
has eight full-time employees in the Rochester office. Some of M5's
Rochester clients include: pm&l, inc., Christa Construction, LLC,
Consilium1, ICM, and Total Computer Solutions. M5 is currently hiring
and sees the local labor market as strategic to the company's growth.

Hoffman, White, Klinger, and Barbara were
joined at the grand opening today by M5's Executive Vice President and
co-Founder Phillip Kim, VP of Sales Brian Klansky, and VP of Service
Delivery Kerrin Parker. The M5 team was welcomed to Rochester by their
partner Paetec, represented by CEO Arunas A. Chesonis, as well as
Commissioner Carballada, and Mayor Duffy.

By making an investment in its future and in
Rochester, M5's office opening qualifies as part of New York State's
Empire Zone program. This program was created to stimulate economic
growth through a variety of State tax incentives designed to attract
new businesses to New York State and to enable existing businesses to
expand and create more jobs.
