SHOUT2500 Helps Deliver Complete Business and Residential Voice Over IP Over Hybrid Fiber-Coaxial Cable in Central Michigan
FREMONT, Calif. and PORTSMOUTH, N.H., April 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- net.com (NYSE: NWK), a global supplier of adaptive broadband technology, and Pannaway Technologies, Inc., designers and developers of converged broadband voice, video and data platforms, jointly announced today that Lennon Telephone Company, established in 1918 and under its current ownership since 1946, has selected net.com's SHOUT2500, a highly integrated IP telephony provisioning platform delivering unprecedented cost-performance metrics, for delivery of Voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) services to business and residential customers within their local exchange.
Lennon Telephone and its subsidiaries will use the SHOUT2500 as a VoIP delivery platform to deliver low cost SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) based telephone features and services to its business and residential customers. SIP is the Internet signaling standard that enables carriers to deliver a wide variety of services through the Internet, such as telephone service, instant messaging, IP conferencing, and presence management. Additionally, Lennon Telephone will be able to use SHOUT to convert Internet-based calls to the public telephone network (VoIP to PSTN) and vice versa, as well as interconnect with legacy H.323 IP networks.
Pannaway's Service Convergence Network (SCN(TM)) is a highly manageable end-to-end all IP solution that enables telcos to deliver high quality voice, video and data services over a single broadband connection. At the heart of the SCN, is Pannaway's Call Control Manager (CCM(TM)) which is a SIP registration server, proxy server, feature server and billing mediation platform that routes all calls, provides advanced CLASS features and delivers billing information for the SCN.
"The Pannaway-net.com solution enables significant and immediate cost savings through the use of IP technology, as well as rapid development of new features and services. For example, with this solution in place, we are in a position to deliver traditional voice services via our hybrid fiber-coax system," said Tom Bowden, Vice President of Lennon Telephone. "Additionally, the integration of SIP and legacy signaling protocols like H.323 and SS7 in a single platform, along with the SHOUT platform's enhanced GUI based network configuration and management tools, will allow us to quickly deliver these services to our customers."
