VoIP infrastructure solutions provider Sonus Networks (News - Alert) Inc. announced that several communications companies have joined the Sonus Interoperability Certification Program at the University of New Hampshire InterOperability Lab, (UNH-IOL), designed to promote interoperability in multi-vendor networks.
The Sonus Certification program was launched as part of the Open Services Partner Alliance, the industry's pioneer Session Initiation Protocol (News - Alert) (SIP) interoperability testing organization, to advance network operators' ability to deploy solutions from multiple vendors within their networks.
Wave7 Optics, a leading supplier of fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) equipment for residential and business services, is the first company to successfully complete the Sonus Interoperability Certification Program. Wave7 Optics' product portfolio features various architectural options based on IP and Ethernet standards for triple-play voice, video and data services. The company's Last Mile Link and Trident7 systems are gaining global market share with service providers in the IOC, CLEC, cable MSO, municipal, utilities and real estate development categories.
Digitalk, which provides an NGN Application Server with service-ready applications including broadband telephony, IP virtual office and prepaid calling cards, has also enrolled in the Sonus Interoperability Certification Program. Digitalk solutions are supported by the MultiService Platform, a complete service delivery environment, enabling rapid rollout of new services.
An independent test lab, the UNH-IOL tests and debugs products for interoperability and conformance to standards in various facets of networking. It applies a collaborative membership model that distributes the cost of building and running test beds and test equipment to meet the rigorous demands of diverse enterprise and service scenarios.
"We're excited that some of the industry's most innovative and dynamic companies have enrolled in the Sonus Interoperability Certification Program," said Vikram Saksena, chief technology officer, Sonus Networks. "Our goal is to help our customers build the most robust networks possible, streamlining their networks from an operational standpoint and helping them to deliver new services to their customers.”
