ATLANTA (BUSINESS WIRE) –
Dec. 13, 2006) -
Verso Technologies, Inc.
(Nasdaq: VRSO), a leading provider of next generation
network solutions, announced today that VoxTelecom, a division of DataPro
Group Limited, has expanded its Verso Clarent(R) VoIP solution with an SS7
interconnect system.
The solution
is combined with a session border controller for IP-based interconnection to
existing Verso softswitching technology located with the incumbent fixed
line operator as well as South African mobile operators.
The Verso
Clarent BHG 2500 is a scalable and highly reliable universal gateway capable
of delivering SS7 signaling, performing as a media gateway with media server
capabilities in a space-saving chassis. When combined with the Clarent Class
4 Call Manager (C4CM), Clarent Class 5 Call Manager (C5CM), and Clarent
Command Center, the BHG 2500 provides a cost-effective platform for building
and expanding a robust IP telephony network that ensures a superior ROI.
"It's a
significant achievement for us," says Jaco Voigt, managing director of Vox
Telecom. "We can now exchange calls directly with Telkom South Africa via
local links, resulting in higher-quality VoIP calls for our customers at a
very competitive price. This makes VoIP a logical decision for a wide range
of enterprise organizations. Additionally, VoxTelecom can now offer its own
range of 087 numbers, which means that the range of services we can offer
our customers increases tenfold, from caller ID to detailed management
information."
VoxTelecom
expects an enormous surge in demand over the next few months, and indicated
that the company's selection by Telkom South Africa emphasizes VoxTelecom's
high level of technical capability. "VoIP and traditional telephony are
based on completely different technologies. Telkom South Africa's
willingness to interconnect with us is based on their positive assessment of
the depth of our technical skills," Voigt said.
"The
agreement between VoxTelecom and Verso will have a significant impact on the
uptake of VoIP services in the South African market. The key to success in
VoIP throughout the country and even throughout the African region is the
seamless interconnection of TDM and VoIP services, which Vox can now
provide, enabled by our VoIP applications," said Terry Sanderson, director
of sales, SubSaharan Africa, Verso Technologies.
