Voice Mobility Accelerates Messaging and Voice Applications for Enterprise and IP Service Providers 11/29/2006
Voice Mobility's advanced voice and messaging software breaks new ground with leading enterprise, IP Telephony and mobility feature sets
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Nov 29, 2006 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX News Network) -- Voice Mobility International, Inc. (TSX: VMY)(OTCBB: VMII)(FWB: VMY), a Vancouver based developer and provider of carrier grade enhanced messaging solutions, has launched its largest software release in history.
Designed to bring the messaging industry to new ground, this feature rich release provides affordable and practical solutions to the issues faced by service providers, resellers and enterprise customers. Industry reports indicate the telephony market is at the early stages of what financial analysts are calling "a multi-year transition" from TDM-based technology to IP-based technology. Voice Mobility's UCN applications have incorporated what the market is demanding for current and future functionality in a solution that can reside in a telecommunications network or on premise at an enterprise location.
Any size business or service provider can take advantage of the UCN applications platform. Incorporated with this release is the ability to combine application nodes into single server configurations allowing for multiple hardware combinations. This translates into the ability to serve everything from small enterprises on premise, to service provider solutions serving over one million users per system.
Voice Mobility's focus for this release has been on 3 key areas: the hosted and premise-based enterprise market, the wireless market and the market for exciting new products that enhance the integration of messaging with the Internet.
The business and service provider markets are transforming to IP centric infrastructures. Voice and data traffic share the same network, thus driving costs down for both providers and businesses. Voice Mobility has added Voice over IP support for calls using SIP signaling, including SIP support for message waiting indication. A single platform can blend both IP and TDM connectivity, allowing for a phased approach to IP migration. We have added sophisticated caching support to remote telephony nodes, allowing branch offices and remote service provider data centers to deploy remote or branch office location of almost any size. The platform can be easily scaled up or down based on the needs of the deployment. As an option businesses can add message archiving, enabling data retention of voice and fax messages in accordance with Sarbanes-Oxley and HIPAA requirements.
"Avaya and Voice Mobility collaborated on this release to bring the latest user features and technology enhancements to our customers," said George Humphrey, Director, Avaya On Demand, Avaya Inc. "Voice Mobility was able to produce the largest release they have done in record time. Our customers have been looking for an 'all-in-one' solution and the UCN platform has achieved that."
User updates include enhancements to our system's partitioning policies allowing communities and community-groups across businesses, providers and the system as a whole. Web-based distribution list modification has been included, allowing for fast and efficient management of distribution lists. IMAP 4 message synchronization between email clients and the messaging platform has been added to ensure messages and notifications are dealt with once, improving efficiency for any organization. Dial by name support has been added for all IVR and user interfaces. To improve usability a Google(TM) module allows full integration of a subscriber's messages with the Google homepage. Other portal and application integrations may be added via our new Web-services interface. New attachment encodings have been added allowing the user to select MP3, WAV, PDF and TIF file formats, easing integration with newer devices like the Palm Treo(TM). In addition, legacy messaging interfaces from Lucent, Nortel, Avaya, Siemens, and others can be supported, lowering user impact during vital migrations from old technology.
"The new solution has the ability to span wireless, business, satellite and landline deployments," said Rob Collins, Director of Marketing, Voice Mobility. "Voice Mobility's new applications encompass the back-office functionality required by enterprise and service provider customers. Most notably partitioning and the VOIP enhancements allow the platform to be hosted in a number of very flexible and cost effective configurations."
Voice Mobility is also proud to launch Spoken Web Feeds. This service allows users to listen to Web feeds and Podcasts through their telephone interface. Web Feeds are established by the user and appear in their user interface as another message type, simplifying the process of extracting information from the web. We will be communicating to the market more information about this technology and its exciting and practical applications very soon. Cliff McCollum, Vice President of Technology and Development, Voice Mobility added, "Voice Mobility is excited to be first to market with a carrier-grade platform for accessing RSS or Podcast data through a telephone. We believe this feature opens enormous possibilities for carriers, enterprises and end-users alike. Watch our website for a public trial of this application planned to be available in the next few weeks."
About Voice Mobility
Voice Mobility produces carrier-grade enhanced messaging software that replaces legacy voicemail systems and provides enhanced messaging functionality - all on the same platform. Telecommunications providers can lower administrative and capital costs without disrupting current revenue streams and achieve incremental revenue growth by providing both new and enhanced service offerings that complement their current marketing mix.

WDAM (.004) Senz-It Subsidiary Featured in International Food Hygiene Magazine
PrimeZone "PrimeZone "
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Nov. 30, 2006 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- World Am, Inc. (OTCBB:WDAM) today reported that its Senz-It subsidiary has been featured in the latest issue of International Food Hygiene, a respected European magazine focused on food safety, microbiology and hygiene.
In its microbiology section, under the heading "Emerging technology," the magazine reports that, "A new method for the testing of food is poised for trial and introduction. It has the potential to test for a wide range of chemical and microbial targets and is capable of giving a highly accurate response...
"The Company sees this technology having a major impact upon port of entry cargo security and food assurance testing by virtue of its ability to rapidly sense biological and chemical traces in air, liquids and gas... and it is anticipated that within 12-18 months there will be field trials for bacteria testing systems."
World Am Chairman & CEO Robert A. Hovee said the Senz-It development team was encouraged by the early recognition on an international level of the potential of Senz-It applications. "This kind of third party recognition of Senz-It's product potentials, especially in a publication of this caliber, is an early sign of the recognition and importance of the work being done by Senz-It's people," Mr. Hovee said.
Senz-It represents an innovative advancement in the field of micro-sensors that have applications in homeland security, indoor air quality monitoring, food processing and health care. Its potential products are intended to compete in the developing field of real-time detection and notification devices. Senz-It is being designed to identify patterns of molecules present in air or liquid environments for significantly less cost than current approaches.
Senz-It's sister subsidiary is Isotec, which develops, integrates and supplies passage control security products broadly categorized as Access Control, Weapons Control, or Materials Control Systems that rigorously control entry or exit of people and materials into and/or out of a facility, while reducing the need for security personnel. Applications of the technology have been delivered to the commercial, retail and government sectors. Isotec's experience in this field allows it to provide high quality, code compliant, application-optimized solutions at the lowest cost in the shortest timeframe.

Destiny Media Reports Fiscal 2006 Financial Results 11/30/2006
Revenues up 15% From Prior Year, Record MPE Adoption, New Versions Clipstream and Radio Destiny Software
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov 30, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ -- Destiny Media (OTC Bulletin Board: DSNY) is pleased to announce results for the year ending August 31, 2006. Revenues increased 15% over the prior year. Expenses jumped 8%, but the net loss fell by 11%. The increase in expenses reflects growing adoption of the Promo Only MPE system, which was being offered on a subsized trial basis during the period to build critical mass with radio.
Destiny is a market leader in providing software for "streaming" and "secure digital distribution" of digital media content, such as music or videos. Streaming is analogous to radio or TV and secure digital distribution is similar to distributing music CD's or DVD's.
Streaming products include Clipstream, which embeds audio or video into a web page and Radio Destiny which enables a live internet radio broadcast.
Secure digital media software products include: the Promo Only MPE music preview service, the MPE online music store software and PODDS, an online music store for DJs. PODDS is also tied into internet enabled jukeboxes which use the system to receive the latest music.
The Promo Only MPE service is the US music industry standard to securely transfer new music tracks from record labels to trusted recipients including radio station program directors and station managers.
Destiny first entered into a development agreement with Universal Music Group in June 2004. This was followed by a launch at the National Association of Broadcasting show in October 2004 and an offering to other major label groups when version 1.1 launched in March 2005.
Since then, an additional 31,000 songs have gone through the system from over 700 labels, representing 28 million transactions. The system is widely embraced by the industry, with paid agreements in place with five labels and strategic relationships established with many industry leaders, including Radio and Records, Clear Channel's subsidiary Mediabase, All Access and Promo Only.
In reaction to feedback from the labels and radio recipients, Destiny has released several upgrades of the system this year, adding Mac support, Spanish support for Latin stations (and templates to support other languages), licensed iPod support and support for downloading music videos. As the labels stop sending physical CD's and the system becomes mission critical, it is important that the system be extremely reliable. The server infrastructure has been upgraded to two physical locations with connection speeds up to a gigabit for scalability to global usage. Preliminary international pilots began this fall in Europe and Australia.
In September, Destiny announced Canada's first online music store for commercial users. This store is based on a new suite of programs for providing encoding, administration, database access and iTunes style player access to the storefront. The company expects to license this software suite to other companies wanting to set up online music stores.
In November, we announced a patent has been filed on our digital watermarking technology. This technique will embed information into sound recordings that identify the originator of illegal copies. It is unique in that it survives analog duplication and compression, but is not audible to the human ear. This is our second pending patent in the music space.
Clipstream was featured in Quirks, the market research industry trade journal in July and we have formed relationships with a number of top companies in the market research vertical, including Global Market Insite (GMI), which provides solutions to 21 of the top 25 market research companies.
In June, the company announced an IP-TV version of Clipstream, which allows consumers to watch television from remote locations. The customer can log into their home PC from any location, anywhere in the world and watch live TV and change channels from their web browser.
Other top verticals for Clipstream include advertising, surveillance applications, podcasting and user generated content. With the recent success of video sites such as You Tube, many customers have approached us to set up "user generated content" and "file sharing" networks. A new Clipstream server offering, featuring real time web based encoding is anticipated to be released in December.
Two new streaming products are due in Q2: A major upgrade of Clipstream, featuring 30 frames per second and full screen video and a CD quality social network based around Radio Destiny and Clipstream Live Video.
Comments Destiny CEO, Steve Vestergaard, "The focus this year was on R&D and adoption of MPE to get the seeds in place for 2007. There are so many synergies among our products that we have become the 'one stop shop' for content owners who plan to embrace internet technologies.
"We are excited about our new streaming offerings and their potential to grow our business. In addition, our secure digital distribution revenue is expected to increase significantly in 2007 as labels continue to reduce the number of physical CD's they send to radio and the transaction based revenue model is fully implemented. Earnings in 2007 should be strong. Much of the expense associated with the system is already being incurred, so we expect new MPE revenue will be high margin."
