U4EA Technologies Earns
tekVizion Labs’ VoIP Interoperability Certification with
Sylantro’s Hosted Communications Platform
U4EA’s Session Controller certified to Sylantro’s
Applications Feature Server
RICHARDSON, TX (August 22, 2005) – tekVizion™
PVS, Inc., the new standard for systems integration, today announced
that tekVizion Labs™ has issued interoperable certification
to U4EA Technologies Ltd., the leading provider of integrated
access technology, for deployment with Sylantro Systems’
telco-grade applications feature server.
tekVizion Labs has certified the U4EA Technologies ICAD™40
Session Controller as interoperable with Sylantro Systems Corporation’s
applications feature server, which is the foundation for many
Tier-1 service providers’ hosted Voice over IP (VoIP) service
offerings worldwide. The U4EA ICAD40 Session Controller simplifies
network management by providing multi-service QoS, LAN switch,
advanced service monitoring and secure management capabilities
in one integrated device.
Sylantro was one of the inaugural “Premier Tenants”
of tekVizion Labs and has provided Sylantro products that allow
certification and remote interoperability testing for third-party
technologies such as U4EA’s. Sylantro has also named tekVizion
as an authorized systems integrator for the company’s hosted
communications solutions, which are deployed by ILECs, PTTs, CLECs
and others worldwide.
“Third-party interoperability certification is a real competitive
edge for our company,” said Columb Harrington, U4EA Technologies’
CEO. “We are pleased to be able to reassure our OEM and
service provider customers that our session controller has passed
the rigorous tests executed by tekVizion Labs and that it interoperates
reliably with Sylantro’s applications feature server.”
“tekVizion is a valued Sylantro business partner for interoperability
testing services and systems integration,” said Bernard
Gutnick, vice president of product marketing for Sylantro Systems.
“tekVizion is able to leverage our industry-standard open
interfaces and professional services, resulting in reduced time-to-market
for third-party solutions such as U4EA’s.”
“Interoperability testing and certification are critical
for the entire VoIP industry,” added Terri Griffin, tekVizion’s
COO. “Given the complexities of multi-vendor networks, service
providers can confidently deploy VoIP technologies with an assurance
that these core technologies will work together seamlessly and
reliably.”
tekVizion Labs is the first lab of its kind to offer third-party
certification and testing for VoIP products and services. In order
to be certified, a vendor’s product must pass rigorous evaluations.
Depending on the type of VoIP product and its function in a converged
network, testing may include verifications such as SIP torture
testing, verifying redundancy operations and security features,
as well as call feature interoperability.
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.
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.
