AudioCodes (NASDAQ: AUDC), a leading provider of
converged voice solutions that enable enterprises and service
providers to transition to all-IP voice networks, today announced
that it has joined the Israel Mobile Association's NFV program.
AudioCodes' technologies, products and solutions will be included
in the IMA's NFV Ecosystem and Pre-Integration Lab along with
solutions from other vendors in order to develop IP transformation
and NFV solutions for global telecommunications service
providers.
NFV is gaining momentum among service providers, enabling them
to launch new services rapidly and add agility to their networks.
This is achieved through the virtualization of core and service
elements in the service provider network, as well as orchestration
and chaining of software-based services. AudioCodes is
participating in several NFV programs such as the HPE OpenNFV and
Alcatel-Lucent's CloudBand NFV ecosystem. By joining the IMA's NFV
program, AudioCodes will be eligible to gain NFV certification for
its solutions with additional leading NFV players and promote them
through IMA's global activities with operators and service
providers. AudioCodes recognized the value of NFV for service and
cloud providers at an early stage and its Mediant SBC VE
(Virtualized Edition) has been designed to fulfil the role of an
SBC Virtual Network Function (VNF) within the NFV environment.
"Operators can grow their revenues by launching additional
services to enterprise and business customers," said Eyal Reshef, IMA founder and CEO "AudioCodes'
solutions represent a very attractive business opportunity for
operators allowing them to improve their service offering to
business customers."
"We are delighted to be a participant in IMA's NFV Ecosystem and
Pre-Integration Lab program," said Yehuda
Herscovici, VP Product at AudioCodes. "The program will
enable telecommunications operators and hosted unified
communications providers globally to become acquainted with the new
technology and shorten deployment time through pre-certified,
innovative and scalable NFV solutions."
