Performance Technologies' NexusWare(TM) Linux-Based Software Suite Named Product of the Year by INTERNET TELEPHONY(R) Magazine

ROCHESTER, N.Y., Jan. 13 -- Performance Technologies (Nasdaq: PTIX), a leading developer of integrated systems, platforms, components and software, today announced the company's NexusWare(TM) Linux-based software suite was named Product of the Year for 2005 by INTERNET TELEPHONY(R) magazine.

The NexusWare Software Suite is a development, management and operating system environment which enables users of Performance Technologies' hardware and platform products to rapidly develop and deploy value-added capabilities with their solutions. NexusWare was chosen as an INTERNET TELEPHONY Product of the Year due to its strong embodiment of Linux and its ability to facilitate the use of open-source software packages.

NexusWare Core acts as the foundation environment for a variety of value-add communications and management software packages offered by the company, as well as the numerous open-source software packages available from the vast Linux open-source community.

"NexusWare provides application developers with a comprehensive development environment, accompanying software modules and an environment for open-source content, all of which increase functionality and reduce development time," said Steve Wigent, product manager for Performance Technologies. "Being recognized by INTERNET TELEPHONY is an honor and lets us know we're on the right track to providing Performance Technologies customers with tools that make application development efforts cost effective and more efficient."

"The companies selected to receive INTERNET TELEPHONY Product of the Year Awards for 2005 have been instrumental in the explosive growth of VoIP and the larger IP telephony industry this year. We're proud to reward their hard work and innovation," said Rich Tehrani, editor-in-chief of INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine in a statement released late last year.

A full list of the product winners appears in this month's INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine.
