Cantata Technology has announced that Technology Marketing Corporation’s (TMC (News - Alert)) Communications Solutions (www.tmcnet.com/comsol) has named its IMG 1010 Integrated Media and Signaling VoIP Gateway (News - Alert) as a recipient of a 2006 Product of the Year Award.

 

The IMG 1010 is an integrated media and signaling VoIP gateway that provides any-to-any network connectivity, enabling delivery of SIP services into legacy SS7, PRI and CAS networks, as well as IP-to-IP transcoding to connect IP networks using different protocols. The IMG 1010 offers a wide range of network interfaces in a compact, high density 1U package, enabling service providers to deploy applications across fixed and mobile networks worldwide.

 

 “I congratulate Cantata for winning the well-deserved Product of The Year award for its IMG 1010 VoIP Media Gateway,” said Jeff Ellentuck, chief executive officer, Waveleap Communications, a premier provider of wholesale IP-based call termination and conversion services. “After a thorough evaluation of several leading media gateway products, we selected the IMG 1010 for its rich transcoding features, attractive cost of ownership, and ability to easily interconnect with the Voice Peering Fabric. No other commercially available media gateway product could match the flexibility or the rapid five month ROI that we expect to achieve with the IMG 1010. We fully intend to add more IMG 1010 units to our network in the future.”
