Grandstream Networks (News - Alert), a manufacturer of IP voice/video telephony and video surveillance solutions, has announced the completion of interoperability with the Sonus IP core networking solutions. The goal of their interoperability is to deliver the utmost reliable, cost-effective and advanced voice/video experience to service providers and business customers. These solutions were recently showcased last week at Sonus’s Connexions 2010 meeting in Florida. 

Using Grandstream’s SIP/VoIP CPE with the Sonus core network platforms reduces the time and money required to implement IP visual communication and security solutions. It also reinforces the importance of implementing open IP standards to deliver affordable HD voice, multimedia voice/video and surveillance/physical security solutions. The interoperability testing includes a host of Grandstream’s advanced CPE solutions such as the new GXP enterprise HD SIP phones and the GXV3140 IP multimedia phone.

“We believe in bringing the best solutions to the market and showcasing the possibilities afforded by Sonus’s linearly scalable IP core platforms,” said Aashu Virmani, senior director of marketing for Sonus Networks (News - Alert). “Interoperating with Grandstream Networks allows us to advance an end-to-end ecosystem that brings to life the cutting-edge experiences of HD Voice and high-definition video between locations – examples of things that are becoming more relevant and timely for our customers.”

The new GXP series of enterprise SIP telephones feature superior HD voice quality to worldwide enterprise and call center customers in need of advanced IP functionality and crystal clear communications. The GXP series also includes auto provisioning for easy mass deployment.

The GXV3140 is complete with a 4.3” digital color LCD screen and delivers free video calling. It also features an integrated web browser allowing one-touch access to personalized RSS feeds of real-time online information services such as news updates, stock updates, weather forecasts, directory searches, thousands of Internet radio stations, social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter and popular streaming Internet entertainment sites like YouTube (News - Alert) and Last.fm.

The GXV IP video surveillance cameras provide a unique advantage to join video surveillance with voice communication applications. Businesses can reduce the cost and time associated with installing surveillance systems while achieving a greater level of functionality and flexibility for remote video monitoring/control. Businesses will now be able to stream all monitoring activity to a mobile or video phone, from anywhere in the world, using Grandstream’s 2-way audio and video streaming capability.

“We are pleased to have successfully completed testing our integrated solutions with Sonus and look forward to extending our award-winning products and solutions to Sonus customers worldwide that significantly improve user experience for voice, video and surveillance applications,” said David Li (News - Alert), CEO of Grandstream. “Customers will quickly realize that Grandstream’s IP voice, video, multimedia, and surveillance solutions are easily implemented and will greatly improve business productivity, generate new revenues and garner the best investment return.”
