Mockingbird Networks and Telic.net Announce VoIP Partnership
Targeting International ISPs with Turnkey VoIP Solutions
CUPERTINO, CA -- (INTERNET WIRE) -- 09/14/99 -- Mockingbird Networks, the pioneering developer of highly scalable, carrier-class switches for converging IP/voice communications, and Telic.net, a next-generation network service provider, today announced they have joined forces to bring turnkey Voice-over-IP (VoIP) solutions to Internet Service Providers (ISPs) around the world. Through this partnership, Telic.net will provide a complete carrier and switch solution that will make it easy for ISPs to add packet voice to augment their current packet data services.
Telic.net operates IP-based switching facilities from hubs in New York, Los Angeles, London, and Hong Kong, and assists organizations in recently-deregulated telecommunications markets to maximize the utility of existing international data circuits by incorporating IP voice and fax applications, and lucrative long-distance traffic.
"We are on the precipice of a revolution in the converged communications space," said Eric M. Hernaez, Telic.net president. "As foreign countries undergo the same liberalization of the telecommunication market as was experienced in the US, there will be tremendous growth in the demand for international long distance services. That will lead to a need for next-generation services that combine the best elements of the PSTN and the Internet. This demand is ideally met by ISPs since they already have the experience and infrastructure in place to leverage the new technology and services we provide. By combining the functionality and scalability of Mockingbird's Nuvo IP Telephony Switch with the network, management, and integration expertise of Telic.net, we have created a formidable team that can deliver turnkey IP solutions anywhere in the world."
In announcing the partnership agreement, Gene Daly, Mockingbird's vice president of worldwide sales and support said, "Our Nuvo IP telephony switches are the ideal platform for Telic to execute on its business plan. The Nuvo switch converges voice and data communications through a skillful integration of the best of the PSTN and IP networks. In particular, it provides carrier-class functionality, especially a certified SS7 capability, and an open, forward-thinking design with true scalability and an open systems architecture."
