November 24, 1998
GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE) Internet Communications Corporation (NASDAQ-INCC), a leading business communications integrator and network management company, announced it hosted the Rocky Mountain chapter of the International SL-1(TM) Users Association ("ISLU ") meeting at its Greenwood Village office.
The ILSU is a group of telecommunications professionals whose purpose is to educate, develop and inform members on trends and developments in all areas of telecommunications with special emphasis on Northern Telecom ("NorTel ") products and services. NorTel is recognized worldwide for its longstanding leadership in the telecommunications industry.
"The NorTel partnership with Internet Communications ("INCC") positions the Rocky Mountain region with leading edge business communications solutions that capitalize on INCC's expertise in the convergence of voice and data media," stated John M. Couzens, president and CEO.
Joining NorTel were Motorola and Cisco, two of Internet's leading data networking manufacturers. Each was on hand to discuss how they, along with INCC, are meeting demand for communications and network integration. The INCC seminar focused on network design and functionality, demonstrating the ability to bring together a powerhouse of networking capability. In addition, the Company took time out to demonstrate quality of Voice-over-Frame and Voice-over-IP in multi-vendor networking environments, providing a first-hand experience in non-conventional voice transmission.
INCC also announced a "Voice-over-Data Cost Benefits and Analysis" promotional program designed to assists its larger customers in understanding the financial and performance benefits of running internal voice traffic on top of Frame Relay or IP networks. According to Joe Madrid, consulting manager. "We evaluate the traffic patterns, usage between company sites, review voice charges, make recommendations and even provide cost/benefit analysis of the integration of voice applications onto the data network. We believe very strongly that, for many companies, it makes sense to migrate data and voice onto a single network architecture."
The Company also showcased its Network Control Center ("NCC") to a predominately voice-centric group demonstrating how it remotely manages customer data networks and circuits around-the-clock. "It's important for our voice customer to see how the NCC works because most of the voice manufacturers are allocating space for data ports and designing in software to accommodate data signaling. There is a clear migration to a single platform, " stated Jack Mayberry, director of technology operations.
ISLU has invited INCC to present at its annual regional conference in March 1999 in Blaire, Washington. ISLU is recognized as one of the largest and most progressive users' associations in the telecommunications industry.
