Metaswitch and Patton Partner to Help Service Providers


Patton Electronics-US-manufacturer of award-winning SmartNode™ VoIP solutions, CopperLink™ Ethernet Extenders, and BODI rS™ High Availability Fixed & Mobile Internet Routers-announces certified interoperability for its SmartNode VoIP CPE with MetaSphere IP-telephony software as a member of the Metaswitch Mosaic technology partner program.

Patton's (News - Alert) own technology partner program is extensive: the company's SmartNode VoIP devices offer proven interoperability with every major vendor in the telecom industry.

Such nearly-universal interoperability means Patton's new partnership with Metaswitch will enable communications service providers to deliver Metaswitch-based, all-IP communications services to businesses that want to continue using their existing traditional or IP-based phone systems.


"We are pleased to welcome Patton and its SmartNode VoIP CPE solution into the Metaswitch Mosaic Program," said Ken Cavanaugh, Director of Business Development, Metaswitch. "Metaswitch's technology partners help bring all the critical pieces of infrastructure together for network operators of all sizes so our customers can save time and money on testing and focus on what's really important."

While many companies have been reluctant to make the transition to such services as IP telephony, unified communications, and cloud-based communications, Patton offers a solution that will help network operators penetrate the enterprise market with Metaswitch-based all-IP communications services.

Unlike most E-SBCs on the market, the SmartNode ESBR is available with built-in traditional telephony interfaces (PRI, BRI, FXS, and FXO) that connect legacy devices with all-IP communication services from Metaswitch while supporting TDM survivability.

SmartNode SBCs also happen to scale perfectly for SMB subscribers, offering solutions for as few as 2, and up to 512 SIP sessions.

In related news, Patton recently announced renewed interop validation with BroadSoft's BroadWorks IP-communications platform.
