Personeta and Veraz Networks Successfully Complete Interoperability

Spring Voice On the Net 2006
NAPERVILLE, Ill. & SAN JOSE, Calif--Personeta, a leading provider of next generation network service platforms and IMS application servers, and Veraz Networks, a leading global provider of voice over IP (VoIP) softswitches, media gateways and digital compression products, today announced the successful completion of integration and interoperability testing. Personeta's TappS(TM) NSC network service controller has now been certified by Veraz as a 'Deployment-Ready' member of the Veraz Open Solution Alliance (VOSA). Service providers will be able to accelerate deployment of advanced services with a Personeta's TappS(TM) NSC interoperating with Veraz's ControlSwitch(TM) softswitch and I-Gate 4000-PRO media gateway.


"We want to bring new services and hence more opportunity for new revenues to our service provider customers demonstrating the openness and versatility of Veraz platform. We welcome Personeta as a new member of our VOSA program. Having completed interoperability testing with Personeta's NSC, our combined offering now offers a choice of many new services to our customers," said R. Paul Singh, vice president, Business Development at Veraz Networks.

Veraz's expansive product offering encompasses the Veraz ControlSwitch softswitch and service delivery platform, the I-Gate 4000 family of media gateways, as well as third-party application servers and media servers. At the core of the fully-programmable ControlSwitch are nearly a dozen software elements that map to the IMS architecture, including a built-in service broker that integrates with third-party application platforms like the Personeta TappS NSC.

Recently, the Personeta-Veraz solution was successfully integrated in Bezeq, Israel's national communication provider. This is one of the deployments that require value-added, scalable, carrier-grade solutions.

Personeta TappS NSC provides service creation and delivery over any mix of network technology (fixed, mobile, VoIP and broadband) to enable converged services while supporting today's telecom network realities. TappS' open service creation environment and versatile service delivery model allow operators and service providers to lower their risks, modify services to better differentiate themselves, and reduce churn with highly segmented offerings.

In addition, Personeta's TappS platform provides a comprehensive service management portal with Web- and IVR-based customer self-provisioning features. This allows service providers to carry out most configuration tasks without any operator involvement; resulting in high-value service solutions for customers, and reduced operating expense and development costs for the service provider.

"Our experience with Veraz Networks highlights the success of Personeta's partnership model," said Mark McIlvane, chief executive officer of Personeta. "Here we have two leading vendors, both with deployed and field tested products, working together to provide commercial solutions that go far beyond what the market has seen. We believe that the customer will also benefit from being able to roll out a stream of new, layered services while they lower their delivery and operating costs."
