Fonality^®, the leader in open source IP telephony, announced today that it has been named to the "Pulver 100," an annual list of high-growth private companies that represent the future of IP communications. Fonality will be honored at the Spring 2007 VON Conference and Expo next week in San Jose, California.

"Pulvermedia is proud to name Fonality to this year's Pulver 100," said Jeff Pulver, founder and chairman of Pulvermedia. "The Pulver 100 continues to grow in significance, because companies like Fonality are helping to drive acceptance for IP telephony among smaller businesses with their PBXtra^™ product line."

"With 2,000 businesses in 37 countries using our phone system, it's great to be recognized for the innovation we're delivering and the momentum we've created," said Chris Lyman, Fonality CEO. "We are thrilled to earn this award from Pulvermedia and look forward to celebrating with fellow honorees next week at VON."

Originally introduced in 2002, the Pulver 100 features private companies that impact the distribution of communications and entertainment with Internet technology. These companies have substantial real-world deployments and enjoy significant growth rates. The value chain characterized by the Pulver 100 differs from the vertically integrated model of the last century, focusing more on the direct interface to customers and consumers which has been brought about by the Internet.
