RADVISION Solution Certified For Use In DoD Networks RADVISION (Nasdaq: RVSN) today announced that the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) JITC (Joint Interoperability Test Command) has informed the company that its award-winning viaIP™ Multipoint Conferencing Unit (MCU) Platform has been certified by the Department of Defense's (DoD) Defense Collaborative Tool Suite (DCTS) for use in DoD networks. Also certified were RADVISION’s iVIEW DCS data collaboration server for real-time document and application sharing and the company’s newly announced ECS Gatekeeper v3.5 for robust and secure video network/call management.Furthermore, RADVISION engineers, in collaboration with DISA and Asynchrony Solutions, defined common user scenarios which were used as guidelines during the certification process. Those guidelines will likely to be used in the future for DCTS certifications of alternative vendor’s components. “With the certification of the RADVISION MCU and DCS by the JITC, the Department of Defense and its member agencies and organizations now have access to a powerful IP-based multimedia communication platform,” said Dan Garber, RADVISION’s Director of Government Sales. “And, when used in conjunction with a RADVISION gateway, the platform also delivers full bridging with legacy ISDN networks and provides all the serial interfaces necessary to fully interoperate with common encryption devices such as KIV-7 and KG-194 platforms.” "JITC certification clears the way for even broader adoption of RADVISION's powerful communication solutions in government networks," said Bob Kipke, VP-Criticom, a leading government reseller of RADVISION equipment. "Interoperability is crucial to military operations and, with this certification, RADVISION will be a viable part of DoD's emerging IP networks." Many government installations worldwide have already chosen RADVISION’s award wining viaIP architecture for their video network infrastructure due to the company’s solution’s support of any end point (meeting room, desktop, field laptop) any protocol (H.320, H.323, SIP), over any network (IP, ISDN, xDSL, satellite, leased lines) and any media (voice, video, data). |
