Nortel Networks Signs Corporate-wide VoIP Agreement With Telogy Networks
October 5, 1998 SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE) via
NewsEdge Corporation -- Oct. 2, 1998
Implementation Brings IP Access to the
Meridian 1 Switch
Telogy Networks Inc.(R), the leading
provider of embedded communications
software, Friday announced that Nortel
Networks(a) (NYSE:NT/TSE:NTL) has
signed a corporate agreement to license
Telogy's Golden Gateway(TM) Voice over IP
(VoIP) embedded communications software.
The agreement enables product developers
throughout Nortel Networks' business units
to easily access and integrate Telogy's
VoIP software into Nortel Networks'
communications products. The agreement
also sets standard corporate-wide pricing
and terms for Golden Gateway.
Nortel Networks is first implementing Golden
Gateway in the Meridian(a) Integrated IP
Telephony Gateway, which will expand
Nortel Networks' Power Networks(a)
portfolio. Through the power of Golden
Gateway, real-time voice and real-time fax
calls will be routed over IP data networks,
rather than through the public telephone
network.
Organizations using the Meridian gateway
to send voice and fax traffic over IP
networks will decrease communications
costs by reducing the number of lines
required to support voice and fax traffic.
Telogy's Golden Gateway Voice over IP
software, embedded on a digital signal
processor and microprocessor, provides
communications equipment developers
scalable Voice and Fax over IP, ATM or
Frame Relay solutions. Telogy's
multi-function, multi-channel capabilities
support up to four simultaneous channels
and allow multiple voice and fax calls to be
dynamically allocated and processed in a
single digital signal processor (DSP).
"This agreement with Telogy Networks will
enable Nortel Networks' system engineers
and product developers to easily access
the core VoIP technology that will power
many mission-critical IP-enabled products,"
said Jim Eng, Nortel Networks' director of
Software Technology, Meridian.
"Nortel Networks is at the forefront of the
VoIP revolution, developing the networks
that will allow the movement of voice and
fax traffic to data networks," said Joseph
A. Crupi, president and CEO of Telogy
Networks.
"As a supplier of Voice over IP embedded
communications software to Nortel
Networks, Telogy is committed to
exceeding Nortel Networks' expectations for
delivering VoIP solutions that will drive the
development of this new industry. "
Bill Hills, Senior Analyst, Customer
Interaction Software for Aberdeen Group,
commented, "Nortel has made it abundantly
clear that they want the best in IP
technology, and with Telogy's very
comprehensive solution they get a lot of it
right away. This is a good move for Nortel
customers."
