WESTFORD, Mass., Oct. 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Key Takeaways:
- NuWave expanded its enterprise services with a hosted Microsoft
Skype for Business Cloud Communication and Collaboration
offering.
- The Sonus SBC 7000 and PSX provide NuWave's new offering with
advanced security and routing at scale.
- Sonus' Skype for Business certified SBCs allow for fast and
secure Unified Communications service deployment.
Sonus Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: SONS), a global leader in secure
and intelligent Cloud communications, announced today that NuWave
Communications, a leading wholesale and retail telephony provider,
selected the Sonus SBC 7000 Session Border Controller (SBC) and PSX
Centralized Policy and Routing Engine as the foundation for its new
Microsoft Skype for Business Cloud Communication and Collaboration
offering. NuWave's new offering eliminates enterprises'
requirements for on-premises hardware, reducing equipment costs
while accelerating Skype for Business deployment.
Based in Las Vegas, NuWave
provides traditional enterprise telecommunications services, such
as direct inward dialing and toll-free services. With resurgent
interest from customers for hosted services, NuWave expanded its
enterprise portfolio to include hosted PBX and Skype for Business
applications.
A fundamental requirement when moving to a hosted communications
offering is security, as the communications infrastructure no
longer sits on the customer's premises. The Sonus solution provides
NuWave customers with robust security functionality, allowing them
to connect, collaborate and communicate seamlessly and securely.
The Sonus SBC 7000 and PSX combination also delivers
industry-leading scale, intelligent routing, geo-redundancy and
simplified network management. Additionally, NuWave selected Sonus
as its underlying architecture based on Sonus' integration with the
Skype for Business platform. NuWave has already begun to move new
customers onto its Sonus-based network, citing an ability to
quickly turn up and customize services as an early benefit.

customers much faster than before," said Kyle Thomas, Chief Technical Officer, NuWave
