Nuvox Communications Purchases Protector 10.0 Fraud Protection Software From Equinox Information Systems

PROTECTOR 10.0 TO HELP NUVOX COMMUNICATIONS PREVENT FRAUD

Nashville, TN - May 2, 2003 - Nashville-based Equinox Information Systems today announced that NuVox Communications, a privately held integrated communications provider based in Chesterfield, Missouri, has implemented Protector 10.0 for real-time telecom fraud protection. NuVox will use Protector 10.0 to interface with its new Sonus switch platform from Sonus Networks (Nasdaq: SONS).

Protector 10.0 provides real-time telecom fraud protection to carriers by identifying instances in which a customer's actual usage varies from expected usage in a manner that suggests fraudulent activity. Over the last fifteen years, Protector has helped hundreds of carriers limit losses to fraud using real-time profile-based technology to distinguish fraud from honest customer usage.

"We chose the Protector 10.0 telecom fraud management system to circumvent the costs associated with telecom fraud while providing a proven solution for our customers," said Rick Raynes, NuVox Communications' executive director of Network and Product Integration. "Equinox is the industry leader in telecom fraud management software, and we are confident that the software will significantly limit our customers' exposure to fraud."

"We are excited that NuVox Communications has chosen to deploy Protector 10.0," explained David West, Equinox executive vice president. "This technology investment clearly demonstrates NuVox's commitment to protecting their customers from telecom fraud."
