Taqua's MobileWorks Awarded 2008 "Product of the Year" from Internet Telephony MagazineRICHARDSON, Texas --(Business Wire)-- Taqua®, LLC, a leading supplier of next-generation switching systems and applications, today announced that the Taqua MobileWorks™ solution has been recognized as ‘Product of The Year' by Internet Telephony Magazine for its unique ability to seamlessly combine TDM and IP wireline switching and applications with wireless GSM/CDMA, 2G, 3G, and 4G networks. "Wireless convergence has been a challenge for small to medium sized carriers largely because of the capital equipment needed to deploy such services," said Greg Galitzine, editorial director, Internet Telephony magazine. "The architecture of the Taqua 7000™ allows carriers to save on capital and operating expenses by combining their wireline and wireless switching and simplify back office systems such as billing. At the same time, the Taqua MobileWorks solution provides a full suite of mobility and wireline applications that help service providers differentiate their services and increase revenue per user." The Taqua 7000 (T7000) Switching System is at the core of the Taqua's award winning MobileWorks solutions set. The T7000 is the only field-proven next generation Class 5 switch to successfully replace every brand and vintage of Class 5 switch in North America, while simultaneously delivering SIP, MGCP, and NCS-based packet telephony. Designed as a 17" X 24" gateway-like chassis, the T7000 utilizes a patented "switch-on-a-card" design which places all switching functions on a single card within the shelf. While one card may provide Class 5 end-office telephony, another card provides IP telephony services to subscribers over broadband networks. With the July 2008 announcement of Taqua's Mobile Interface Card' (MIC), the T7000 can now concurrently provide wireless switching solutions for GSM/CDMA, 2G, 3G or 4G networks. "The Taqua MobileWorks solution combines the most affordable switching platform for wireline and/or wireless service delivery with enhanced applications for residential and business subscribers," said Scott Weidenfeller, Taqua's chief marketing officer. "The open-standards ‘all SIP' architecture of Taqua MobileWorks will set a new standard in feature functionality."
