TalkSwitch® Expands Sales into the Middle East
Distribution agreement with LikeMind will enable Middle Eastern businesses to benefit from rich calling features and access to VoIP
OTTAWA, ON & DUBAI, UAE – November 20, 2006 – TalkSwitch®, a leader in the design and development of telephone systems for small and multi-location businesses, today announced the signing of a distribution agreement with Dubai-based LikeMind, a value added reseller and IT security consultant. The deal will see TalkSwitch systems marketed and sold to small businesses across the Middle East. TalkSwitch develops a line of PABX and IP PABX telephone systems ideal for businesses with 1 to 32 telephone users per location. Each system is a fully integrated solution that includes auto attendants, voicemail and caller display as standard; along with an extensive set of calling features specifically designed for small businesses, including remote extensions for connecting off-premise telephones and mobiles. All TalkSwitch systems are networkable, and are true hybrid PABXs, meaning users are able to maintain existing connections to the traditional Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), while at the same time taking advantage of the significant cost-savings available through select Internet Telephony service providers. “TalkSwitch telephone systems have delivered tremendous value to small business across North America and the United Kingdom,” said Mr. Jan Scheeren, President and CEO, TalkSwitch. “Now, through our partnership with LikeMind, we’re set to bring that same value to businesses across the Middle East. Distributors and resellers like LikeMind are valuable partners that can provide excellent service to our customers and we look forward to a long and successful relationship with them.” LikeMind specializes in providing cost effective IT security and telecommunications solutions to businesses across the Middle East and North Africa.

TalkSwitch systems will be very popular in this market.” TalkSwitch will officially be introduced to the Middle Eastern market at the GITEX Dubai 2006 trade show being held November 18-22.
