GAITHERSBURG, MD: Patton Electronics—the leader in network-access,
connectivity, and VoIP solutions announced today the successful
completion of interoperability tests between BroadSoft® BroadWorks® and

the test regimen required to obtain Broadsoft’s Certification

tighter integration with the application layer.”

between these two leading solutions. Using the SIP protocol,
SmartNodesTM connect existing infrastructure in residential and
enterprise premises to the advanced features and services of
BroadWorks®. The wide variety of signaling connectivity make
a SmartNodeTM fit any installation from a few analog or ISDN
BRI lines up to several E1/T1 PRI lines.
