DIGITALK and NexTone Announce NetworkReady Certification
BOCA RATON, Fla. --(Business Wire)-- NexTone(R), a leader in session border controllers and scalable session management solutions for VoIP, multimedia, and IMS network interconnects, and DIGITALK, a global provider of multiservice value added service platforms, today announced that DIGITALK'S Multiservice Platform (MSP) is now NetworkReady(TM) certified with NexTone's Session Border Controller (SBC).
DIGITALK'S MSP and application suite enables service providers to offer a full range of VoIP services from a single network infrastructure. This allows service providers to launch new services cost effectively and ensures a fast time to market that significantly improves time to revenue and ROI. NetworkReady certification validates that DIGITALK'S platform is interoperable end-to-end with NexTone's SBC.
Interoperability between NexTone's SBC and DIGITALK'S MSP means that the two companies can offer service providers a future-proof platform with high availability and redundancy in their network, allowing them to quickly launch new VoIP applications.
"The interoperability testing with NexTone reinforces our efforts to provide both DIGITALK and NexTone customers with NGN applications that can quickly create new revenues," said Mark Ashdown, sales and marketing director, DIGITALK. "NetworkReady certification gives further confidence to our customers and shows that we have an ongoing commitment to making our products interoperable for future and emerging standards, including IMS."
Several joint customers such as Nowtel Europe, a leader in prepaid telephone service solutions, have already benefited from NexTone's collaboration with DIGITALK.
"Nowtel's migration to the DIGITALK Application Server was a confident choice as we progress our services to an IP network, providing us with ability to offer advanced applications such as broadband telephony and video calling," said Andrew Hallam, managing director of Nowtel UK. "Supporting this decision was the knowledge that DIGITALK's partnership with NexTone enables us to rationalize infrastructure investments and improve network efficiency. In addition, the ability to realize high availability, load balancing, and redundancy provides excellent levels of application availability."
"NetworkReady certification allows DIGITALK to provide its service provider customers with a proven, tested VoIP solution, which makes the deployment process smoother for the service provider and increases customer satisfaction," said Andrew H. Colby, vice president of product management and customer solutions for NexTone. "We look forward to working together with DIGITALK on additional interoperability projects in the future."
DIGITALK's Mark Ashdown will present at the NexTone User Forum this week on the business session panel, "Meeting Customer Needs in an Evolving Market."
