Quintum(R) Tenor Hybrid VoIP Gateway for Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 Wins Product of the Year From Unified Commu
March 31 2008 - 9:00AM
Marketwired
EATONTOWN, NJ , announced today that the new Tenor Hybrid VoIP
Gateway for Microsoft's Office Communications Server (OCS) 2007,
has been awarded the 2007 Product of the Year by the Technology
Marketing Corporation (TMC�) Unified Communications Magazine. The
Tenor Hybrid debuted at the recent TMC INTERNET TELEPHONY EXPO, and
garnered the Best of Show Award for Best Large Enterprise
Solution.
The first annual Unified Communications Product of the Year
award is presented to companies who have designed innovative new
products that address the needs of enterprises and service
providers deploying unified communications. With the vast number of
UC products entering the marketplace, TMC's awards are aimed at
helping readers identify those products that offer the best
solutions for their unified communications deployments.
The Tenor Hybrid Gateway includes Quintum's MultiPath VoIP
switching technology and is Microsoft Mediation Server-ready to
simplify deployments of Microsoft Unified Communications (UC). This
new hybrid VoIP product is a single box solution, specifically
designed to allow customers to easily integrate Microsoft OCS 2007
into existing enterprise voice networks and as a result, leverage
past voice network investments and minimize disruptions to
business.
Quintum's Unified Communications Proxy (UCP), included in the
Hybrid Gateway, as well as all Tenor "S" gateways and switches,
addresses the critical requirements for deploying Microsoft's OCS
2007. The UCP supports "any to any" switching, which enables the
integration of OCS 2007 with the Public Switched Telephone Network
(PSTN) and any legacy or SIP-based voice equipment, including
analog telephony equipment, TDM PBXs, IP-PBXs, fax and modem based
devices and SIP-based endpoints, including standard SIP phones.
The UCP also supports the deployment of multiple gateways behind
a single mediation server, providing the ability to extend gateway
capability to branch offices. The UCP addresses these critical
business needs when deploying Microsoft OCS 2007 into today's
diverse voice network environments. Traditional VoIP gateways lack
the "any to any" switching thus limiting their ability to integrate
all the elements typically found in the enterprise voice
network.
"Quintum has consistently set the bar high for innovative
technologies, and in this case, they have surpassed that standard,"
said Rich Tehrani, TMC President and Group Editor-in-Chief of
Unified Communications. "The Unified Communications Proxy, which is
standard on the Tenor Hybrid, expands Quintum's successful
MultiPath switching to support SIP to SIP connectivity, and thus
allowing Microsoft's OCS 2007 to be integrated with both TDM and
VoIP networks."
"Quintum's Tenor Hybrid Gateway was designed specifically for
Microsoft UC deployments," said Chuck Rutledge, Vice President of
Marketing for Quintum. "The single box solution provides a
mediation server ready unified communications VoIP gateway for
those customers deploying Microsoft OCS 2007. Its MultiPath
switching design and UCP makes it easy to install with minimum
modifications to the existing network."
