Sonus Networks' Connexions 2010 Offers First- Hand View of the Technology Shaping the Future

"At Connexions 2010 we are providing our customers and partners with an in-depth and hands-on view of the complete breadth of products and new technologies from Sonus Networks," said Guru Pai, chief operating officer at Sonus Networks. "Our Technology Zone will demonstrate the power of our ConnexIP platform and highlight the company's recent innovations in the areas of high-definition voice, unified communications, and fixed smartphone convergence. The technology on display at Connexions 2010 includes solutions for the industry's most immediate needs and also paves the way for tomorrow's solutions."

Highlighting the importance of Unified Communications for enterprise markets, Sonus experts will showcase the Enhanced Services Portal (ESP), which brings together chat, presence, voice mail, email, and calling capabilities in one portal. The Enhanced Services Portal improves employee productivity by giving them a single access point to all these applications anywhere, at any time, and through any device. It is a web-based model that improves productivity and lowers operational costs because there is no desktop software to deploy and manage and no IT staff needed to support it.

Developed using Sonus' patent-pending technology, the Voice Security solution from Sonus ensures that enterprises moving to SIP trunking are protected from Vishing, and computer-generated SPAM calls. By blocking rogue calls before they reach the Call Center PBX / ACD, it reduces the excess call volume that drives costly upgrades and it increases customer satisfaction by reducing the hold time. It also improves security by preventing corporate information from being revealed to Vishing attackers on the call center infrastructure

In this demonstration, Sonus will illustrate how 'quality' has different meanings on IP networks and on VoIP networks. The demonstration will show how Sonus can 'actively' insert traffic and monitor the QoS/QoE to pinpoint and troubleshoot problem areas in our customers' VoIP networks. Other demonstrations will include a simplified view of network performance and historical analysis of network configuration and performance.

New capabilities in the Sonus Networks ASX Telephony Application Server allow cable operators to provide their subscribers with home phone service that can "share" an existing phone line with up to five additional SIP-enabled devices, including 3G/Wi-Fi enabled smartphones. With the Sonus Fixed – Smartphone Convergence solution in action, live calls coming into a landline phone will ring simultaneously on different devices, including a PC softphone and a SIP-enabled smartphone. Visitors will see how easy it is to answer the call on any of the phones and transfer as necessary, even as other users make outbound calls on other devices.

Oracle:  Platinum Sponsor Oracle will highlight the Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database and the Oracle's Sun Netra carrier-grade servers at booth 42. Oracle products are embedded in the solutions of partners like Sonus Networks and other leading communications companies worldwide.

Grandstream Networks: Grandstream will showcase their new enterprise HD SIP phones and their popular IP multimedia phones. Additionally, Grandstream will show how their SIP-based IP camera series offers an advanced security surveillance solution that is fully converged with and controlled by an open-standard SIP-based communication system.
