platforms, today announced that it has entered into a reseller agreement

BayPackets will resell, market and support Convedia’s award winning
CMS-6000 and CMS-1000 media servers in conjunction with the BayPackets
Agility Network Services Platform (NSP) and Agility Network Applications,
a next-generation enhanced services platform and applications suite that
can be deployed as a service control point (SCP) or application server
in traditional and packet-based telecommunications networks.
The BayPackets/Convedia joint solution provides network

services include:

“Our partnership with Convedia offers a carrier-class,
fully integrated end-to-end solution that delivers a rapid return on investment
and significant business value for our customers,” said Ken Epps,
President and CEO of BayPackets. “Working with Convedia has proven
very easy as both companies share a common vision and commitment to developing
enhanced service solutions that drive costs out of the service provider’s
network while unlocking new revenue opportunities.”
“We are thrilled to strengthen our relationship
with BayPackets to include the reselling of our products to their customers,”
said Peter Briscoe, President and CEO of Convedia. “Convedia and
BayPackets have undertaken rigorous interoperability testing using both
SIP/VoiceXML and MGCP between our respective products offering service
providers maximum flexibility in their deployment options.”
BayPackets and Convedia are demonstrating the joint
solution in booth 321 at the Fall VON ’03 Conference and Expo being
held this week in Boston, MA.
