Pannaway and net.com Partner to Expand IP Telephony Solution for
Triple Play Partnership Enables ILECs to migrate to VoIP without
requiring forklift upgrades PORTSMOUTH, N.H. and FREMONT, Calif.,
Jan. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Pannaway Technologies, a leading
provider of converged voice, video and data platforms to broadband
service providers and net.com (NYSE:NWK), a global supplier of
communications equipment, announced today they have finalized an
integration and distribution agreement whereby Pannaway will
integrate net.com's SHOUT platform into its industry-proven Service
Converged Network (SCN(TM)) triple play solution. Pannaway will
also provide Tier 1 service support for all SCN-based SHOUT
products. The agreement enables telecommunications service
providers, including Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers (ILEC), to
seamlessly deliver carrier-class end-to-end SIP-based VoIP
telephony services, high-quality digital IP video and high-speed
(26 Mbps) Internet access over a single broadband connection -
without costly infrastructure upgrades. Pannaway's SCN is the only
solution that allows carriers to deliver all the advanced calling
features of SIP-based VoIP without the need to replace existing
Class 5 switches. Pannaway's selection of the SHOUT platform
expands SCN's SIP-based VoIP service capabilities for its
customers' subscribers. SHOUT's integrated SS7 functionality
enables seamless connectivity of IP telephony traffic directly to
the existing PSTN. By supporting existing PSTN interfaces such as
SS7, SHOUT allows carriers to migrate to VoIP without requiring
them to replace their existing switching infrastructure. "After
extensive customer trials, it was apparent that SHOUT was a cost-
effective, easy-to-use platform for carriers to deliver advanced
VoIP services to subscribers," said Michael Skubisz, chief
technical officer for Pannaway. "The key driver that led Pannaway
to integrate SHOUT into its SCN was its ability to interwork SIP
with the SS7 protocol in a single, affordable, compact solution."
Bert Whyte, president and CEO of net.com, noted, "We are very
impressed with Pannaway's SCN system and are delighted to be a part
of it. We are also impressed with Pannaway's attention to detail in
providing telecommunications service providers with a complete
solution for the delivery of triple play services. SHOUT is an
industry-proven platform that continues to provide exceptional
value to our partners and to their telco customers." Today,
Pannaway has numerous ILEC customers already using the integrated
SCN and SHOUT platform to deliver high-revenue triple play services
to thousands of rural subscribers. Pannaway's SCN allows carriers
to deliver VoIP, IP digital video and high- speed Internet access
with a cap and grow strategy as opposed to the forklift upgrades
required by most next generation VoIP equipment manufacturers.
