Ditech Communications Showcases Border Services Solutions at VON Fall 2005

     Systems Designed to Enable Service Providers to Deliver High Quality
                           End-to-End VoIP Services

                                  Booth 1000

    BOSTON, VON 2005, Sept. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Ditech Communications
Corporation (Nasdaq: DITC), a leader in the development of voice processing
solutions for communications networks, will showcase its Border Services
Solutions this week at the Voice on the Net (VON) 2005 show in Boston.
Ditech's Border Services Solutions combine its Packet Voice Processor(TM) and
PeerPoint session border controller to make IP communications a reality in the
service provider environment.  Ditech Communications is a premier sponsor of
the VON Fall 2005 exhibition and will be located in space #1000.
    Ditech's Border Services Solutions are being designed to bring together
Ditech Communications' advanced media processing capabilities and award
winning session controller to provide the industry's most complete solutions
for VoIP borders.

    Packet Voice Processor:  Ditech Communications' Packet Voice Processor is
an advanced voice processing system designed to enable carriers to deploy
universal transcoding and toll-quality voice services at the borders of their
VoIP networks. The Packet Voice Processor is integrated with Ditech's Voice
Quality Assurance (VQA(TM)), a comprehensive set of voice processing and
network measurement features that address a wide array of issues in packet-
based transmissions, providing optimized voice quality for VoIP networks.  The
Packet Voice Processor is currently available only for customer trials.

    PeerPoint Session Border Controller:  Ditech's PeerPoint Session Border
Controller (SBC) helps carriers connect diverse equipment, traverse firewalls,
operate in "NAT" environments, reduce bandwidth costs, and ensure
comprehensive security features to prevent DOS attacks.
    "As service providers embrace IP communications to offer a broader bundle
of services to their customers, issues surrounding the multiplicity of peering
formats with other carriers, comprehensive network security, and service
assurance emerge as great concerns," said Chalan Aras, vice president of
marketing for Ditech Communications. "The need to deliver predictable service
quality over a wide variety of end-user devices across diverse access networks
exacerbates this challenge. The IP border is the most effective location in
the carrier network to address these issues in order to deliver these exciting
services in a cost-effective manner."

    Hear the Difference
    Ditech will use its VON 2005 exhibit opportunity to highlight its Border
Services Solutions and visitors to the Ditech Communications booth (#1000)
will have an opportunity to listen to examples of calls made with Ditech's
Packet Quality Assurance(TM) (PQA(TM)) technology.  In addition, as part of
the equipment demonstration, Ditech will feature the Empirix Hammer FX IP test
platform which will be used to generate end-to-end VoIP calls with simulated
IP WAN impairments using the Empirix Network Emulator platform through the PVP
and the same product will be used to generate voice quality scores. Listeners
can hear the dramatic difference on the improved calls and observe the voice
quality measurements from the Empirix Hammer Voice Quality Test platform.
