 Convedia
Corporation and Sylantro Systems Corporation announced today a growing
list of IP communication service providers who have purchased and deployed
integrated IP communication solutions based on Sylantro’s IP communications
software and Convedia’s media servers. The companies today also
announced that Sylantro is now a globally certified reseller of Convedia’s
media server products, while Convedia is now recognized as a Sylantro
Premier Partner.
Convedia and Sylantro, who began working together in late 2003, are enjoying
a growing commercial relationship, as numerous service providers around
the globe have selected their fully integrated IP communications solution.
Service providers who have purchased and deployed the integrated Convedia/Sylantro
IP communications solution include Elitel, Covad, SunRocket, Lightyear,
PowerNet Global, STS Telecom, and VoEx. Additional unannounced customers
include major incumbent carriers in Asia, North America, and Europe.
The commercial success is reflective of the synergistic relationship between
Convedia and Sylantro — two best-in-class suppliers of complementary
VoIP communication products. Sylantro is the leading supplier of IP communication
software platforms, which provide feature-rich call processing, signaling,
and management interfaces for a broad range of IP Centrex and VoIP applications.
Convedia is the leading supplier of IP media servers, which provide the
underlying IP media packet processing required for carrier-class operational
deployment of IP communication services. The products are certified interoperable
using open, standards-based interfaces such as SIP, VoiceXML, and MSML/MOML.
Together, the integrated solution delivers competitive advantage for IP
communication service providers looking to offer differentiated communication
services using an economical IP-based service delivery infrastructure.
“Our service-provider customers require business and consumer VoIP
solutions capable of growing from thousands to millions of users,”
said David Illing, Senior Vice President of Business Development, Marketing,
and Operations. “Convedia is a proven Sylantro Premier Partner who
consistently delivers carrier-class IP media servers essential for reliable
and scalable deployments of Sylantro’s communications software platform.
A significant portion of our installed customer base involves Sylantro
solutions seamlessly integrated with Convedia media servers.”
“Sylantro’s agreement to resell Convedia
products formalizes a business arrangement which is already achieving
commercial success for both our companies,” said Grant Henderson,
Convedia's Executive Vice President of Marketing and Strategy. “Sylantro’s
IP Communications Software, powered by Convedia Media Servers, together
deliver a flexible IP service delivery solution already proven in many
customer deployments. We look forward to ongoing growth in our relationship,
as service providers accelerate their migration to IP-based voice and
video communications”.
