PAETEC Holding Corp. (NASDAQ GS: PAET), which provides data, voice, and Internet services, announced today the launch of an integrated product portfolio available to business-class customers nationwide. The consolidation of the product portfolio was completed within one year of the McLeodUSA acquisition, which occurred on February 8, 2008."This aggressive integration plan was essential to ensure the highest benefit for our customers, while further driving efficiency for our back office," said E.J. Butler, chief operating officer. "We're now one of the few carriers able to offer a consistent product portfolio nationally."

The integrated product portfolio, which is available on a single invoice nationwide for all new customers, provides:

• Reliable and scalable data, voice, and Internet communication solutions
• Solutions for disaster preparedness, network redundancy, and application recovery
• Security solutions to protect critical corporate files and applications, mitigate risks, and support regulatory compliance
• Managed Services to address budgetary constraints and limited IT resources so customers can essentially outsource their communications solutions
• Unique Financing solutions such as PAETEC's Equipment for Services program, allowing customers to reduce or even eliminate the capital expense of communications equipment as part of an overall network services contract

The company's broad product portfolio includes productivity-enhancing services such as MPLS VPN (Multi-Protocol Label Switching Virtual Private Network, to cost-effectively manage bandwidth and connect multiple locations), Hosted and Managed CPE Firewall with Unified Threat Management (to protect corporate data and networks from malicious attacks), Dynamic IP with SIP Trunking and Dynamic IP with Virtual Telephone Numbers (to converge data and voice communications on a single circuit to reduce expenses and enable new communications capabilities).

"Most of our competitors are regional in nature or don't have this breadth of personalized communication solutions," said John Chapman, senior vice president of marketing. "Our integrated product portfolio, combined with our national network footprint and unmatched service, has made PAETEC the premier alternative to incumbent local phone companies."
