Nuera Communications Inc. Wins Computer Telephony Magazine's 'Editors' Choice' Award In 'The First Ever Benchmark Comparison' October 1, 1998 SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE) via NewsEdge Corporation -- The F200ip "One Box Wonder Does It all." Nuera Communications Inc. today announced it has received the "Editors' Choice" award from Computer Telephony magazine. Detailed results of the study can be found in the September issue of the magazine, but the bottom line of the research concluded that, "service providers and enterprises with a grab-bag of network topologies and physical layer links take note: this one box basically does it all." The F200ip has a variety of networking options: T1 and E1 voice interfaces, a 10baseT LAN IP port and 9.6 kbps to 2 mbps frame relay (F/R) V.35 serial WAN networking ports. The F200ip can shuttle or switch voice traffic to and from any interconnected frame relay and IP network. The box handles voice, fax and modem traffic. This is of particular importance to service providers who want to deliver transparent voice, fax, and data services over a packet network. The F200ip also serves corporate users who bridge IP and frame relay links or plan to migrate from Frame relay to IP in the future. The study highlights that the level of performance of voice scores was excellent and there were no speech errors on a clean network and the F200ip box "does some things (especially with voice over frame relay, which sounded very good), that the others don't. And the F200ip worked as promised." John Brizendine, president and chief executive officer of Passport Telecom Inc., a carrier using Nuera over Internet and frame relay links adds, "the Computer Telephony study confirms what our experience has shown -- Nuera leads the industry in the ability to maintain excellent voice quality even under difficult network conditions such as we sometimes experience over the Internet. " Andrew Voss, vice president of marketing for Nuera says, "Nuera's voice quality prevailed in the Computer Telephony labs test even though Nuera's test conditions involved nearly triple the network jitter and substantially higher packet loss than test conditions for the other venders. This is an interesting study showing that Nuera equipment alleviates the burden on carriers to provide well-groomed transport in order to maintain voice quality. The Computer Telephony study attempts to level the playing field for the other vendors who don't tolerate poor network conditions as well as Nuera." The Computer Telephony "Editors' Choice" award is the seventh award for quality in voice over IP gateways and voice FRADs that Nuera's F-Series products have received since their debut in September of 1997.
