Sonus Networks Demonstrates Voice over WiFi Solution at SUPERCOMM 2004
CHICAGO --(Business Wire)-- June 22, 2004 -- Sonus Networks (Nasdaq:SONSE), a leading provider of voice over IP (VoIP) infrastructure solutions, today announced that its Insignus(TM) Softswitch, featuring the ASX Access Server, now supports voice services on WiFi telephones. Sonus is demonstrating these capabilities in its exhibit at SUPERCOMM 2004.
The convergence of two industry trends is driving the adoption of voice over WiFi (VoWiFi). First, 2004 will be the year in which VoIP services start to achieve significant adoption among end-user subscribers. At the same time, WiFi is growing in popularity as the predominant access technology for businesses, residences and public areas. Delivering voice services over WiFi networks is a natural extension of the Sonus Networks Open Services Architecture(TM) (OSA), and can now be enabled by Sonus' ASX Access Server.
"We view the emergence of VoIP services for end users as a major industry theme in 2004, and this, coupled with the ubiquity of WiFi, offers exciting possibilities for delivering voice services over WiFi networks," said Michael O'Hara, vice president, marketing, Sonus Networks. "The ASX Access Server, with its robust SIP capabilities, is an ideal platform on which to offer these services, and we expect this to be an important disruptive technology in the years ahead."
In Sonus' booth #25204, the company is conducting live demonstrations of VoWiFi services using the Sonus ASX Access Server and the Pulver Innovations WiSIP handset. The WiSIP(TM) mobile IP phone is a next-generation intelligent IP communications device that brings SIP-based VoIP communications together with WiFi installations.
"VoIP is truly entering the mainstream of telecommunications, and we see WiFi as the next battleground," said Jeff Pulver, president and CEO, Pulver.com. "Companies and innovators that can usher in the convergence of VoIP and WiFi are ideally positioned to drive the adoption of voice services in wireless environments."
