Santa Clara, Calif. – March 22, 2005 –
Edgewater Networks, Inc., the leader in Application-Aware Networking™,
today announced that New Global Telecom (NGT), the leading provider
of managed wholesale VoIP solutions, has tested and certified the EdgeMarc
and EdgeView products to enhance NGT’s 6DegreesIP managed VoIP
services suite. The Edgewater solution was chosen due to its ability
to significantly reduce the cost and complexity of delivering secure
and reliable advanced VoIP services.
Deployed at the customer premises, Edgewater’s EdgeMarc converged
network appliances act as a demarcation point for the VoIP service by
providing many critical functions including: a voice and video aware
NAT/Firewall that eliminates the need for traversal, bandwidth management,
call quality monitoring and VoIP survivability. Edgewater’s EdgeView
Network Management System is used by service providers to monitor network-wide
call quality. It provides detailed call quality statistics and diagnostic
tools to quickly identify networking issues that negatively impact call
quality.
“Before we recommend a device to our service provider customers,
we perform extensive quality and compatibility tests in our product
lab. We evaluated the Edgewater solutions, and were impressed by how
well their products addressed the unique challenges of delivering a
high-quality managed VoIP service,” said Rich Grange, President
and CEO of New Global Telecom. “We’re glad to certify and
recommend the Edgewater solutions as cost-effective devices that aid
in call quality and traffic-shaping control.”
