UCP Extends Tenor Capabilities to Simplify Unified Communications
Deployments in Any Network EATONTOWN, N.J., Jan. 23
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Quintum Technologies, a leading innovator
in VoIP technologies and subsidiary of Network Equipment
Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:NWK), announced today the release of the
new Unified Communications Proxy (UCP) for Tenor VoIP MultiPath
Switches and Gateways. The UCP, originally developed to support
VoIP in Microsoft Office Communications Server (OCS) 2007, allows
multiple VoIP and TDM networks to be easily integrated together.
The UCP expands Tenor's unique MultiPath switching capability to
include enhanced call routing and SIP to SIP switching, and is now
available in the entire Tenor "S" line of VoIP MultiPath Switches
and Gateways. The addition of the new UCP capability in the Tenor
provides "any to any" MultiPath switching between VoIP and TDM
networks, including SIP to SIP calls, TDM to TDM calls and SIP to
TDM calls. This capability simplifies the deployment of new VoIP
systems such as Unified Communications, assuring easy integration
with any existing voice network element (TDM or SIP) and the Public
Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). This flexibility also benefits
VoIP service providers by providing a flexible customer premises
gateway that can interface to all existing business voice network
elements including SIP, TDM or both. The UCP also offers benefit
when deploying Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 in that
it can support multiple gateways and SIP endpoints with a single
Microsoft mediation server. This allows businesses to deploy
multiple gateways to support PSTN connectivity, legacy TDM PBXs,
existing SIP based IP- PBXs, existing SIP phones, and analog
devices such as fax machines, all with one mediation server. This
advanced switching offers capabilities such as a "fax around"
feature when operating in a Microsoft Office Communications Manager
2007 network, by interpreting and directly routing calls between
the fax machines and the PSTN. It also allows the business to
extend the gateway function to branch offices to provide local PSTN
connectivity and the integration of the local existing network
elements. "The Unified Communication Proxy allows the Tenor to
further simplify the deployment of Unified Communications into an
existing business voice network," said Chuck Rutledge, Vice
President of Marketing for Quintum. "The addition of the UC Proxy
provides 'any to any' switching allowing businesses to better
leverage the investment they have made in their existing network
and minimize disruption to their operation." The UCP is available
on any Tenor "S" product. The Tenor "S" is Quintum's robust
SIP-based line of VoIP switches and gateways. The Tenor "S" with
the UCP provides full "any to any" connectivity in SIP-based
networks. It also offers "survivability" making it the only gateway
device needed in the branch office to support all legacy equipment,
local PSTN connectivity and survivability of the local IP telephony
network. Tenor "S" contains a local SIP proxy that provides
survivability for local SIP endpoints and intelligent call routing
to keep any SIP-based VoIP network up and running if connectivity
with the main proxy server is lost. "Quintum has again reinforced
their position as a leader in innovation with regards to VoIP
gateways," said Elka Popova, Global Program Director, Enterprise
Communications for Frost & Sullivan. "The UC proxy adds
significant value as companies are not simply interfacing to the
PSTN, but also need to interface with existing VoIP equipment and
VoIP based service providers. It is now a mix of legacy and VoIP
equipment that will need to be integrated into Unified
Communication networks." About Quintum Quintum Technologies, LLC, a
