SHERWOOD PARK, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - April 10, 2012) - Virtutone Networks Inc., ("Virtutone") (TSX VENTURE:VFX) a leading provider of Internet-based, business telephony services, announced today that it has launched a wholesale division which provides telephony services to other carriers. As a carriers' carrier, Virtutone will supply wholesale voice services, using Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology, to telephone companies, cellular companies, corporate clients, cable television companies, call centers, and Internet-based telephony companies.

Virtutone has selected Sonus Networks (NASDAQ:SONS) of Westford, Massachusetts to provide a new high-powered wholesale infrastructure which currently has the capacity to supply 1.2 Billion minutes per month to Virtutone customers. As the wholesale division continues to grow, this system is quickly and easily scalable beyond its current limits. The Virtutone network will be built on the Sonus Session Border Controller 5200 which is purpose-built for large scale, mission critical SIP-based communications. Virtutone expects the investment in this new platform to enable it to become a leader in the wholesale VoIP market in North America.

In addition, Virtutone has signed interconnect agreements with several of the largest telecom companies in North America, Australia and the United Kingdom to be able to provide the highest quality origination and termination services at reasonable prices. Virtutone is able to provide telephone numbers in over 12,000 local exchanges in North America, Australia and the United Kingdom, and in over 60 other countries worldwide.

"Virtutone's growth over the last three years has increased our purchasing power, particularly in Canada. This has allowed us to provide extremely cost effective wholesale services, even to large telecommunication companies. In today's telecommunication world, competitors buy and sell wholesale communication services from each other to augment their core offerings. Our entry into the North American wholesale market will allow a wide variety of telecommunication companies to purchase high quality origination and termination services at more competitive rates," said Jason Allen, Virtutone's President and Chief Executive Officer.
