Sylantro Systems Corp. today announced that North Pittsburgh

feature server as the primary infrastructure for the company's
upcoming consumer broadband voice service offering. Formed in 1986,
NPSI owns and operates three key subsidiaries through which it
offers a broad spectrum of sophisticated telecommunications
services to business and residential users throughout western
Pennsylvania. The consumer Voice over IP (VoIP) service will be
provisioned utilizing the capabilities of all of the NPSI
subsidiary companies, but will be offered to consumers through
North Pittsburgh Telephone Company (NPTC), a 99-year-old incumbent
local exchange carrier (ILEC). The service is planned for initial
deployment in late 2005 and includes broadband VoIP capabilities
packaged with the company's DSL service offering and unlimited
local, regional and long-distance VoIP calling. NPTC will include
advanced Sylantro-based functionality such as click-to-dial,
selective and/or scheduled call forwarding, call logs and a
browser-based call management interface for user control and
management of their VoIP environment and features. The company
expects to expand the offering to customers of its other
subsidiaries in the near future. "Sylantro's platform has been
deployed by multiple Tier 1 providers for consumer and business
offerings, and allows us to deliver differentiated services in a
commodity consumer VoIP market," said Al Weigand, vice president of
North Pittsburgh Systems, Inc. "Further, Sylantro is the only
company with the demonstrated scalability and marketing expertise
to help drive our successful deployment." In addition to the
Sylantro applications and servers, the NPSI deployment is
leveraging the Ensim VoIP service enablement solution to automate
provisioning and other operational aspects of the new consumer VoIP
service and IPeria's ActivEdge unified communications applications
for advanced integrated messaging services. "We are very pleased
that North Pittsburgh Systems has standardized on the Sylantro
solution for their new consumer VoIP offering," said Pete Bonee,
