Acme Packet, a provider of session border control solutions, said that seventeen customers have deployed its Net-Net session border controllers (SBCs) with SIPHON Networks Ltd., a European provider of solutions for the design, supply, delivery and integration of voice over IP (VoIP) and mobile PBX technology.
Officials with Acme Packet (News - Alert) said that the joint implementations stem from an existing resale and support agreement through which SIPHON Networks offers the company’s Net-Net SBCs as part of its solutions portfolio for cloud-based telephony service providers.
The SBC solution serves local and regional service providers across Northern Europe where SIPHON Networks has a strong reputation as a leading systems integrator for hosted communications services.
According to company officials, the companies have already implemented the joint SIPHON Networks and Acme Packet SBC solution for seventeen customers, including-O-bit Telecom; Nexus telecommunications and SpeechStorm (News - Alert).
"Acme Packet's expertise in SBCs is an ideal complement to our experience in implementing, integrating and managing VoIP and UC infrastructure networks for customers in Northern Europe," said Steve Harris, director, with SIPHON Networks.
Harris said that Acme Packet's SBC solution is now a key part of the company’s overall product portfolio.
“As indicated by the joint solutions we've already implemented for O-bit Telecom, thevoicefactory, Nexus telecommunications and SpeechStorm, we believe the agreement announced today paves the way for helping service providers in Northern Europe to capitalize on the opportunity for hosted IP communications services," Harris said.
Seamus Hourihan (News - Alert), vice president of marketing and product management for Acme Packet said that Acme Packet and SIPHON Networks are serving the growing demand for all-IP, cloud-based, interactive communications services.
