(NYSE:NWK), a global supplier of adaptive broadband technology, and
Pannaway Technologies, Inc., designers and developers of converged
broadband voice, video and data platforms, jointly announced today
that Lennon Telephone Company, established in 1918 and under its
current ownership since 1946, has selected net.com's SHOUT2500, a
highly integrated IP telephony provisioning platform delivering
unprecedented cost-performance metrics, for delivery of Voice over
Internet protocol (VoIP) services to business and residential
customers within their local exchange. Lennon Telephone and its
subsidiaries will use the SHOUT2500 as a VoIP delivery platform to
deliver low cost SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) based telephone
features and services to its business and residential customers.
SIP is the Internet signaling standard that enables carriers to
deliver a wide variety of services through the Internet, such as
telephone service, instant messaging, IP conferencing, and presence
management. Additionally, Lennon Telephone will be able to use
SHOUT to convert Internet-based calls to the public telephone
network (VoIP to PSTN) and vice versa, as well as interconnect with
legacy H.323 IP networks. Pannaway's Service Convergence Network
(SCN(TM)) is a highly manageable end-to-end all IP solution that
enables telcos to deliver high quality voice, video and data
services over a single broadband connection. At the heart of the
SCN, is Pannaway's Call Control Manager (CCM(TM)) which is a SIP
registration server, proxy server, feature server and billing
mediation platform that routes all calls, provides advanced CLASS
features and delivers billing information for the SCN. "The
Pannaway-net.com solution enables significant and immediate cost
savings through the use of IP technology, as well as rapid
development of new features and services. For example, with this
solution in place, we are in a position to deliver traditional
voice services via our hybrid fiber-coax system," said Tom Bowden,
Vice President of Lennon Telephone. "Additionally, the integration
of SIP and legacy signaling protocols like H.323 and SS7 in a
single platform, along with the SHOUT platform's enhanced GUI based
network configuration and management tools, will allow us to
quickly deliver these services to our customers." About Pannaway
