DNS President and CEO George Johnson said, "We selected Arelnet because of the i-Tone Prime's superior scalability. No other gateway can match its cost effectiveness and price performance. We were also impressed with its comprehensive routing capabilities, and especially the fact that Arelnet can route per trunk thus reducing the need for a Class 4 switch." He added, "Arelnet provided DNS with an effective prepaid calls module and a CPE system to provide intelligent access to corporate customers' networks." "DNS' order represents yet another step for Arelnet's strategy of partnering with innovative telecommunications providers. We are proud that a sophisticated Next Generation carrier such as DNS, with an advanced and far reaching strategy, has chosen Arelnet's i-Tone Prime for its communications backbone," stated Sarig Zur, Arelnet Inc.
