UPSIDE MAGAZINE HONORS TOLLBRIDGE TECHNOLOGIES AS ONE OF ITS "TOP 100 PRIVATE COMPANIES"
SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 31, 2000 - TollBridge Technologies, Inc., the leading developer of high-quality, voice-over-broadband solutions for a new generation of carriers, today announced that UPSIDE Magazine has named the company to its list of "Top 100 Private Companies." Editors of UPSIDE and an advisory panel-comprised of venture capitalists, financial analysts, and market researchers-selected TollBridge from more than 1000 companies competing for this recognition. Winning companies were selected based on their technological achievements, customer acceptance of their products or services, financial performance, industry partnerships, financial backing, management savvy, and marketing ability. TollBridge Technologies develops IP-based voice systems for a new generation of carriers. TollBridge solutions change the economics of delivering voice services, enabling Competitive Local Exchange Carriers (CLECs) and Multiple Systems Operations (MSOs) to leverage new broadband access technologies. Since its founding in 1998, the company has successfully brought to market its TollVoiceTM solution, an IP-based architecture that utilizes standards-based quality of service (QoS) techniques to deliver toll-quality voice for business. Kastrup hôtelsThe solution also comprises the TB55 Integrated Access Device (IAD), which delivers multiline local telephone service and continuous high-speed Internet service over a single SDSL (symmetric digital subscriber line) connection. In 1999, Computer Telephony honored TollBridge's innovative TollVoice solution with its Product of the Year award. "UPSIDE has traditionally predicted top IPO performances with its Top 100 Private Companies list, singling such winners as Sycamore Networks, Juniper Networks, Copper Mountain Networks, and Centillium Technology Corp in 1999," said Agnes Imregh, vice president of marketing at TollBridge. "TollBridge is honored to be on such a sterling list of next-generation providers." For consideration as one of UPSIDE's Top 100 Private Companies, TollBridge had to meet the magazine's specific award nomination criteria, including the likelihood of a successful IPO with strong potential of becoming a blue-chip stock of the new economy, an identified niche in the market, a track record of several years spent developing technologies needed in the market, and a management team with the tenacity and intelligence to drive the company to the top. Venice accommodation"We evaluated hundreds of great companies spanning a broad range of Internet-related market segments, and are pleased to recognize TollBridge among this year's winners," said David Bunnell, UPSIDE CEO and editor. "We look forward to watching the progress of all of the UPSIDE Hot 100 Award winners over the next year or so and hope they continue being newsmakers as they move from being privately held to possibly becoming publicly traded companies."
