Syracuse, NY and Westborough, MA, November 20, 2003
Pactolus Communications Software Corporation, a leading provider of SIP-based voice services announced today that its RapidFLEXT Application Server and SIPwareT Services suite has been deployed in USA Datanet's converged network to provide their customers with high value voice services. The Pactolus RapidFLEXT Application Server environment is hosting prepaid and post paid calling card, and conference calling services connected to the extensive USA Datanet VoIP network using the SIP signaling protocol. This network-wide usage of multiple SIP-based services in conjunction with high-density PSTN / IP media gateways represents an industry first in deploying this combination of services in a common IP voice services architecture. As part of this deployment, Pactolus has deployed its software-based RapidFLEX Soft Media Server and the Convedia high-density CMS-6000 IP Media Server products.
"In partnership with Pactolus, we have achieved a significant industry milestone in the deployment of a multiple, highly scalable, SIP-based services using our converged network infrastructure and the Pactolus software environment," said Jay Mercer, Chief Technology Officer of USA Datanet. "The Pactolus environment is designed to process extremely high busy hour call volumes while at the same time having the functional breadth and flexibility to meet the various services needs of our customers as our network expands."
"Given USA Datanet's combined experience in deploying converged network elements and a history of developing high-value services, we were able to bring a set of comprehensive service to the market in a very short period of time," said Dave Horton, President, CTO, and founder of Pactolus. "Our open, IP-based services architecture was able to readily integrate with the USA Datanet converged network elements and in-place resources. And with the RapidFLEX environment now in place, USA Datanet will be able to easily add other brand new services over the same IP-based voice services infrastructure."
