DUBAI, U.A.E. 30 July 2008 — FVC, a leading Value Added Distributor (VAD) in the Middle East & North Africa (MENA), has added Digium®, Inc.'s award-winning product line to its expanded range of VoIP offerings including Switchvox™, a flexible, easy-to-use IP PBX solution. FVC will bring Digium's range of IP telephony solutions to SMEs, enterprises and telcos through its network of VoIP channel partners across the Middle East, Africa and Pakistan.
"With the meteoric growth of new business in the SME and the financial sectors in the Middle East, there is a growing demand for IP telephony in the region," said K.S. Parag, Director of FVC.

"FVC's strong network of channel partners will boost Digium's growing international presence, making Switchvox's easy-to-use telephony systems easily available across the Middle East, Africa and Pakistan. We are looking forward to working with FVC in MENA."
