Tekelec Becomes Premier
Tenant in tekVizion Labs
Interoperability Testing, Certification Lab Extends Testing Capabilities
RICHARDSON, TX (June 6, 2005) – tekVizion™
PVS, Inc., the new standard for systems integration, announced
today that Tekelec has signed an agreement to become a Premier
Tenant in tekVizion Labs™, the first lab of its kind offering
third-party certification and testing for Voice over IP (VoIP)
products and services.
“Premier Tenants” are vendors that provide their
products to tekVizion Labs to allow them to be used in certification
testing performed by tekVizion Labs and/or to make them available
to other vendors and service providers for remote testing. Premier
Tenant status significantly enhances the vendor’s test capacity
by turning tekVizion Labs into an extension of the vendor’s
own test facilities. Premier Tenant status also speeds up test
turnaround time and provides priority interoperability testing.
Tekelec will provide its Tekelec VoIP Application Server (Tekelec
6000), which provides IP Centrex and hosted PBX service delivery
and profitability to service providers and their IP telephony
customers, to tekVizion Labs. The Tekelec 6000 features carrier-class
performance and a robust feature set, including unified messaging,
user-scheduled conferencing, find me/follow me, and Web Portal
capabilities that support visual voicemail, click-to-dial, and
integration of directories and calendars with telephony features.
tekVizion Labs offers several types of testing services involving
both remote and on-site testing at tekVizion Labs. Remote testing
can be used for pre-certification or ad-hoc test scenarios, whereas
formal certification is conducted on-site at tekVizion Labs by
tekVizion engineers. Certification can be provided between two
products or in a multi-product solution. All lab services are
available to both vendors and service providers.
“tekVizion welcomes the opportunity to add the Tekelec
6000 to the VoIP products as a Premier Tenant in our testing and
certification lab,” said Terri Griffin, tekVizion chief
operating officer. “The entire industry benefits as more
and more VoIP products can be shown to be interoperable, which
is the key to faster time-to-market and more reliable converged
networks.”
Potential customers of tekVizion Labs can request testing via
the tekVizion Labs website (www.tekVizionlabs.com)
or by contacting the program director, Jerry Mistrot. The tekVizion
Labs website allows anyone to register to be notified when new
Premier Tenants join the lab, when products are certified, and
when new services are offered by the Labs.
