The VPA calls for Tele Tower to purchase $3.0 million of the LinkNet(TM) IP Telephony Gateway Switch to be delivered over the next fifteen months. Tele Tower will incorporate the Linkon Products into its global network which supplies wholesale long-distance services to both facilities-based carriers and debit card platform holders. ''Over the last three years, we have seen our wholesale business grow at a phenomenal rate. But we know that the new IP-based technologies for converged voice and data will greatly influence which companies will continue to grow. We have reviewed the VOIP products available today, have tested the LinkNet Gateway in both the laboratory and in the field and have decided that the open, scalable, UNIX-based, SS7 capable Linkon Technology is state-of-the-art,'' said Nick Patel, President of Tele Tower, Incorporated. ''In only three years, Tele Tower has achieved substantial business and financial growth. They have built a network of direct network links, satellite and fiber-optic undersea cables to be able to provide high-quality connections to virtually every point on the globe. Tele Tower with support from Linkon is in an excellent position to capture a significant share of the rapidly emerging VOIP services market, which Ovum Research, a London-based firm, recently projected will reach $60 billion by 2005,'' said Lee W. Hill, President and CEO, Linkon Corporation.
