Marketwired
Network Equipment Technologies, Inc. ("NET") (NYSE: NWK) announced
today that ITER, an international research and development project,
is deploying NET's VX Series Unified Communications Gateways to
enable ITER's move from a traditional hardware-based voice system
to a software-powered voice solution. The VX platforms will allow
ITER to bring voice services in-house and build a robust and
reliable global network that supports the seamless deployment of
Microsoft unified communications (UC) to ITER's locations around
the world.
NET's VX Series, which is qualified for Microsoft Office
Communications Server 2007 Release 2, offers ITER a "core"
switching point for all its voice related services, providing ITER
the ability to migrate to a UC environment. This solution delivers
a complete, robust gateway for ITER's Microsoft OCS environment
that includes PSTN access for national and international calls,
switching of private traffic to the previous system, fax-over-IP,
and video conferencing. With Microsoft's recent issuance of OCS
Release 2, ITER will be able to smoothly integrate services such as
enterprise voice conferencing and SIP trunking in the future.
"NET's VX Series delivers high availability with exceptional
voice quality and was able to meet all of our technical
requirements," said Juergen Dirnberger. "Further, the VX Series
solution will enable us to extend globally the tools we use for
voice calls while simplifying our communications, thereby
increasing productivity. NET's technical support made the
integration seamless."
"Our ability to accommodate nearly any type of existing network
and telecom infrastructure makes our VX Series a compelling
choice," said Francois Le, Vice President Global Sales at NET. "We
are very pleased to provide ITER a solution to address their unique
requirements."
