iLinc Enables Calcasa To Connect With Leadership Nationwide

Coalition Uses Web Conferencing to Bring Together Sexual & Domestic Violence Prevention Advocates

PHOENIX, Arizona (September 27, 2005) –

iLinc Communications, Inc. (AMEX:ILC), developers of Web conferencing software and audio conferencing solutions, today announced the singing of a new contract with the California Coalition Against Sexual Assault (CALCASA) who has purchased iLinc Web conferencing software to connect with experts nationwide on the topic of sexual and domestic violence prevention.

CALCASA is currently using iLinc Web conferencing to bring together sexual violence and domestic violence prevention advocates to build more effective prevention strategies. “We have just started with iLinc and already we have held meetings with hundreds of people throughout the country,” noted David S. Lee, prevention connection manager for the California Coalition Against Sexual Assault. “iLinc provides effective Web conference services for our diverse audience. We often have people joining our Web meeting sessions with dial-up, or other low bandwidth connections, and iLinc Web conferencing performs better than any other conferencing product we have tried.”

“With the costs and complications associated with traveling for in-person meetings rising, many organizations are relying on Web conferencing to interact with customers, prospects, and employees in dispersed locations without having to leave their offices,” noted James M. Powers, Jr., president and chief executive officer of iLinc Communications. “The iLinc software is optimized to work in secure network environments as well as with low bandwidth connections, enabling a larger population of users to easily join Web meetings. Our customers commonly tell us that they can rely on iLinc Web conferencing software to connect more people for Web meetings than other products, regardless of the user’s network environment or bandwidth limitations.”
