SAN FRANCISCO, April 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Red Herring today announced

switching technologies for the cable and telecommunications industries, is
a Finalist for the Red Herring 100 Award, a selection of the 100 private

technology.
The Red Herring editorial board diligently surveyed the entrepreneurial
scene throughout the North American region and identified the top 200 out

of innovation.
"We can see the exciting evolution of the technology sector reflected
in the quality and variety of exceptional companies that we had to choose
from in putting our list together," said Joel Dreyfuss, Editor-in-Chief of
Red Herring. "It was tough to choose just 200 finalists from such a large
list of excellent contenders, and we are very happy with the qualities of
the companies we selected as Finalists."
The winning 100 companies will be announced at the Red Herring Spring
event. The CEOs of the winners will present their innovative ideas and
technologies to an audience of leading entrepreneurs, financiers and
corporate strategists at the event in Monterey, California, on May 1-3 at
the Hyatt Regency Hotel.
"The Red Herring 100 has been a significant milestone in the evolution
of private technology companies, including many that have transitioned to
the public markets," said Andy Paff, president and CEO of Cedar Point
Communications. "We're grateful to the editors and staff of Red Herring for
recognizing the significance of our success, and are deeply honored to have
been selected as a finalist."
Cedar Point's SAFARI C(CUBED) Multimedia Switching System, the only
totally integrated carrier class VoIP switch that incorporates all of the
components that make up the voice switching infrastructure, brings value to
the network by providing SIP-based features and seamless evolution to an IP
Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) architecture. SAFARI C(CUBED) provides superior
performance and reliability, significantly reducing capital expenditures,
system integration and operations costs for cable operators offering

infrastructure, allowing network operators to leverage their initial
equipment investment in voice as they introduce such services as video

servers.
