IP Unity Names Carrier Veteran Augie Cruciotti As Chief Operating Officer, Unified Messaging Leader Gani Nayak as Senior Vice President of Marketing


Milpitas, Calif. — January 10, 2005— IP Unity, a leading provider of enhanced services for blended and converged networks, announced today that two industry luminaries in carrier network operations and new service delivery have joined the company's executive team.

Augie Cruciotti, former Executive Vice President of Network Services with Qwest Communications and a noted network executive at SBC/Pacific Bell, has been named IP Unity's Chief Operating Officer. The post was newly created for growth envisioned at the company in the years ahead. Gani Nayak is the company's new Senior Vice President of Marketing, coming from LogicaCMG Global Telecoms where he was the Vice President of Product Management and R&D for its uOne business unit.

"IP Unity's customers and employees are thrilled to see such outstanding leaders join at this point on our growth curve," emphasized IP Unity CEO and Chairman Arun Sobti. "We're ready to extend our lead in enhanced service platforms for top-tier wireline and cable carriers to the mobile and converged markets. Augie and Gani will be absolutely vital to these efforts. Their expertise ranges from deploying in multi-million subscriber markets and managing complex, multi-generational networks to developing and delivering wireless messaging, mobile Internet, and customer care and billing solutions for over 200 operators worldwide. They work extraordinarily well with our current talent base, our partners and prospects and will give IP Unity greater scalability, marketing and operational prowess."

"I was drawn to IP Unity because of the convergence opportunities and the company's great potential to meet them," stated Gani Nayak, the new Senior Vice President of Marketing. "IP Unity is uniquely positioned to take advantage of the blending between legacy circuit-switched and next-gen IP networks, as well as the convergence between wireline, cable and wireless. The team has excellent credentials and works very well together. I look forward to helping the company achieve clear leadership across all of its target markets in enhanced services."

"Joining the company at this inflection point in the industry is fantastic," added Augie Cruciotti, newly-named COO. "From my tenure with very large service providers, I understand fully what operators need from network system vendors. Operators' quality demands, their need for critical attention to detail and operational scalability will be at the heart of IP Unity's business for the existing markets and the new market opportunities we address. Because we look to expand our reach to top-tier carriers throughout the world, meeting these demands in a highly scalable way is key to our continued success."
