jNetX Becomes Premier Tenant in tekVizion Labs

Open Standards Pioneer Says Interoperability Certification Benefits Industry

RICHARDSON, TX (June 20, 2005) – jNetX, Inc., and tekVizion™ PVS, Inc., the new standard for systems integration, announced today that jNetX 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.

Based on state-of-the-art Java technology, jNetX’s N(x) Network Middleware and Telecom Service Studio make it possible to develop even the most involved converged services using standard IT tools. The N(x) platform contains resources called Service Enablers, reusable software components that provide additional capabilities to many different applications. The TSS makes it possible for programmers of all skill and experience levels, from novice Java through highly experienced SS7/IN, to participate in service creation and delivery. Together, jNetX’s N(x) and TSS offer open interfaces that support industry standards and can be readily integrated into other IN platforms, plus service nodes, mediation, and provisioning systems.

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.

“Companies like jNetX benefit tremendously from third-party certification that their products are interoperable with legacy, IP, and converged networks,” said Tom Martinson, jNetX CEO. “That’s why jNetX is pleased to be a Premier Tenant in tekVizion Labs and pleased that the industry now has such a critical resource available to all.”

“jNetX is blazing the trail toward service creation based on open standards,” said Terri Griffin, tekVizion chief operating officer. “It’s important for the entire industry that the jNetX platform be an integral part of VoIP interoperability testing and certification.”

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.
