RocketStream's New RocketConnect Platform Tackles Critical "Last-Mile" Connectivity Bottlenecks in Consumer Broadband Access


(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA, December 15 / MARKET WIRE/ --

RocketStream, Inc., a subsidiary of
Voyant International Corporation (OTCBB: VOYT) and a developer of
technologies and solutions to accelerate digital content delivery over
high-bandwidth IP networks, today unveiled its new RocketConnect broadband
access acceleration platform.

RocketConnect allows telcos and other Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to
speed the effective bandwidth of their customers' broadband access
connections by up to 500% without the expense of any new physical
infrastructure. ISPs can thereby provide their customers with a more
streamlined on-line experience, from accelerated web browsing to faster
downloads.

Consumers currently spend over $10B worldwide on broadband access to the
Internet. However, these so-called "last mile" connections to the consumer
are often the source of aggravating speed bottlenecks that hamper the
consumer's online experience.

"With almost one third of DSL and cable modem subscribers dissatisfied with
the performance of their access connections and considering alternatives,
incumbent ISPs need to fight hard for customer retention," commented
industry analyst Adriana Waterston in a communication with RocketStream.
Ms. Waterston is vice president of marketing and business development at
Horowitz Associates and the author of a new study titled "Broadband Content
and Services 2008."

RocketConnect represents an extremely cost-effective solution for ISPs to
deliver better service and enhance end-user satisfaction. RocketConnect
can be used to enhance DSL, wireless, satellite, cable, or fiber access
connections, and because it is entirely software-based, if can be installed
quickly and with minimal disruption to existing customers.

RocketConnect creates a streamlined, software-defined tunnel over the
access connection between the ISP's server infrastructure and the
customer's modem or computer, where conventional access methods often
present a bandwidth bottleneck. Unlike other proposed solutions that
require an infrastructure replacement to enhance last-mile connectivity,
RocketConnect provides a fast, easy-to-deploy solution that keeps ISP costs
low while enhancing consumer satisfaction.

"Telcos and other ISPs are desperately searching for low-cost ways to gain
a competitive advantage, and RocketConnect alleviates some of the
industry's most vexing access performance problems," said RocketStream
President Jay Elliot. "RocketConnect represents a simple -- yet effective
-- way to boost broadband access speeds. We expect that DSL providers, in
particular, will find this to be a great tool for customer retention and
satisfaction."
