It was revealed this week that Sonus Networks, a renowned communications service provider of next-generation SIP-based solutions such as VoIP, video and UC, selected One Source (News - Alert) Networks, a provider of innovative, purpose-built communications solutions for the Future 1000, as its preferred U.S. service provider for the delivery of the Sonus Harmony Unified Communications (News - Alert) Platform via the cloud.

For those Sonus clients who wish to source this capability cost-efficiently from the cloud, the Sonus Harmony platform serves as an ideal solution. Sonus Harmony expands the OSN service portfolio, which currently already delivers continuous, readily available access to cloud-based voice, video, security and computing applications to the Fortune 1000 market, as explained in a statement.

This new solution will work to simplify both OSN’s and Sonus’ networks for their enterprise customers, delivering rich, over the top (OTT) unified communications (UC) features across their entire frameworks. Further, the solution enables fixed-mobile convergence across multiple devices and enterprise applications – such as voice, video and IM – to create a unique and seamless unified presence.
