Edgewater Networks' Interoperability Lab Certifies Positron Telecommunication's G-Series IP PBX

Edgewater Networks Inc., a leading provider of Enterprise Session Border Controllers, announced today that its SIP Trunking Interoperability Lab has certified Positron Telecommunication Systems' G-Series IP PBX solutions. The Lab is part of the Edgewater Networks (News - Alert) Plug & Dial Alliance program and is used to formally validate and document the proper operation of PBX systems with SIP trunking services using the EdgeMarc Enterprise Session Border Controller (ESBC). Through carrier, cable operator, service provider, OEM, and distribution partnerships, EdgeMarc ESBCs are currently in use at leading enterprises to resolve interoperability challenges between SIP trunking service providers and enterprise PBX (News - Alert) systems. This enables enterprise customers to take advantage of increasingly popular SIP trunking services while providing a consistent signaling interface to the service provider that reduces operating costs and expands their total available market.

"Positron Telecom submitted its IP PBX solutions for certification with Edgewater's ESBC as they have a significant market presence and strong reputation for quality within the industry," said Jeffrey Liberman, VP of Sales and Business Development for Positron Telecom. "By using Edgewater Networks' solution combined with Positron Telecom's IP PBX, our reseller partners will be better positioned to provide their small-to-medium business customers with a higher quality experience."

The EdgeMarc ESBC is deployed at the customer's premises and is used to connec Positron's IP PBX system to SIP trunking services. The EdgeMarc also provides VoIP-aware security, quality of service (QoS) to ensure high quality voice calls and integrated call quality monitoring to simplify problem resolution. The EdgeMarc is fully compatible with Edgewater Networks' EdgeView VoIP Support System. The award-winning EdgeView VoIP Support System is used by leading service providers and enterprise organizations who are responsible for maintaining and managing converged voice, video and data networks.
