PLANO, Texas, August 22, 2005 /Businesswire/ TelStrat, a global supplier of enterprise and carrier communications equipment, announced its acceptance of a 2005 Titan Fast 50 Award from the Metroplex Technology Business Council (MTBC). The award recognizes TelStrat as one of the fastest growing technology companies in the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area.

Based on percentage revenue growth over the previous five years and year-over-year revenue growth, the Titan Fast 50 awards are presented each year by the MTBC to leading technology businesses achieving high annual growth rates in what is the second largest technology center in the United States. The committee of volunteers that tabulates and oversees this awards program are members of the MTBC, a leading association of companies in high-tech industries in North Texas. Founded by MCI, Nortel, Fujitsu, and Rockwell International in 1994, the MTBC mission is to foster an optimal climate for technological excellence and innovation in the North Texas region.

"TelStrat is honored to be recognized by such a prestigious council of area business and technology leaders," said Bob Carroll, founder and chief executive officer of TelStrat. "The Dallas-Fort Worth area is a hotbed of creative ideas and technology innovators. Our continued growth and ranking among the top fifty of more than 4,000 North Texas technology companies is a result of our customer focus and ability to consistently execute despite what has been a difficult economic business environment for our industry. I genuinely thank the MTBC for this important distinction."

Besides MTBC, other sponsors for the fifth annual Tech Titans/Titan Fast 50 Awards event include Deloitte, Ericsson, University of Texas at Dallas, PriceWaterhouseCoopers, Haynes and Boone, NASDAQ, Texas Instruments, and Dallas Business Journal.
