New Global Telecom Selects NexTone as the Foundation for Its New IPartition Service
Flexible Session Management to Enable New Service Offering and Address Growing Demand for VoIP Services
GAITHERSBURG, Md. & GOLDEN, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 9, 2004-- NexTone(TM) Communications, the market leader in scalable session management of real-time IP services such as voice over IP, today announced that New Global Telecom (NGT) -- a leading provider of outsourced TDM and IP network management services to carriers and service provider customers worldwide -- has deployed NexTone's Multiprotocol Session Controller (MSC) as the basis of its new IPartition service. Now, NGT can quickly address its customers' growing demand for the stateful any-to-any protocol conversion and termination of International and domestic IP traffic.
NexTone provides a complete VoIP interconnect management solution which allows NGT's TDM and IP carrier customers to simply and securely interconnect to any global carrier network regardless of their network infrastructure. NexTone takes the mystery and complexity out of VoIP interconnects and enables new routes and customers to be added to any network in a matter of minutes.
NGT is evolving their business to support the growing demand from its carrier customer base for all IP traffic switching and termination, as well as integrated TDM-VoIP networking. NGT evaluated equipment from a variety of session controller vendors, but selected NexTone's MSC for its unique ability to partition traffic, its flexible routing capabilities, and its strong performance in the field during the evaluation process. Now, utilizing NexTone's MSC as a core component of its IPartition offering, NGT can terminate any combination of TDM or IP voice traffic and support the conversion from H.323 or SIP based IP networks across multiple manufacturers' gateways.
"NexTone has provided us with the right solution to extend our current service offerings and enabled us to address the rapidly growing market of all IP carrier customers with our new IPartition service offering," said Lee Story, senior vice president, network management services at New Global Telecom. "Now, we have the flexibility to manage any type of traffic -- regardless of whether it is TDM or VoIP. In addition, the level of support we have received from NexTone, and the obvious commitment they make to their customers, made them a sound choice."
"NGT is a premier outsourcing NMS provider and our end-to-end session management capabilities provide the functionality, flexibility and scale to support the real world challenges facing IP service providers," said Hank Firey, chief executive officer of NexTone. "NGT has wisely based their VoIP infrastructure on the NexTone MSC, enabling their IPartition service today, but also positioning their network and business for further expansion with value-added VoIP services and other real-time multimedia services."
