Shunra's VE, a comprehensive testing solution that simulates any production network in a pre-deployment lab, is singled out for innovation and quality by INTERNET TELEPHONY editors at record-setting VoIP event.

New York, NY November 14, 2006 -- Shunra Software Ltd., a leading provider of production readiness testing solutions, announced today that the Shunra VE solution has been named a winner of a "Best of Show Award" at Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC®)'s INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference and EXPO West 2006. TMC reports that the conference was attended by over 6,400 people last month at the San Diego, California, Convention Center.

Shunra VE provides a comprehensive testing solution for both enterprise users and VoIP vendors. It simulates any production network environment in a pre-deployment lab providing a powerful, flexible and easy way to test VoIP platform performance and call quality under a wide variety of network impairments. For enterprise users, Shunra VE can be used to accurately evaluate and compare different VoIP vendor solutions under the real-life enterprise network conditions, and even determine call quality at all remote locations. With this information, users can select the most appropriate VoIP solution and make the right infrastructure investments needed to support remote end-users as well as IT and business objectives. For VoIP solution vendors, Shunra VE provides a way to develop, test and optimize their solutions for all possible network conditions and customer environment idiosyncrasies, during product development. Furthermore, it enables vendors to prove exactly how their VoIP solutions will perform across a customer's actual network environment, during the pre-sales process.

"Shunra and its innovative Shunra VE solution is a standout indication of why so many service providers, enterprise buyers, developers, and resellers descend upon INTERNET TELEPHONY® Conference & Expo twice a year," said TMC President and Conference Chairman, Rich Tehrani. "The presence of outstanding companies like Shunra further demonstrates INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO's status as the leading forum for the VoIP and IP communications industry. Attendees know they'll find solutions in the Shunra booth that can help them in their businesses today."

"We are honored to, yet again, be recognized by Internet Telephony for our industry-leading and innovative network simulation solutions," said Boaz Grinvald, Shunra CEO. "VoIP offers a wide range of benefits and significant cost savings. Yet no business can afford to have its voice services or business application performance compromised. Shunra VE delivers a reliable and easy way for companies and VoIP solution vendors to make informed decisions about the design, development and deployment of their VoIP platforms that will ensure service levels to remote end-users and other critical applications running over the network."

The INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO Best of Show Award recognizes innovative products and solutions that were featured in the Exhibit Hall during the event.
