AudioCodes (NASDAQ: AUDC), a leading provider of voice
networking solutions that enable enterprises and service providers
to transition to all-IP voice networks, today announced that BT,
one of the world's leading providers of communications services and
solutions, has selected AudioCodes Mediant session border
controllers (SBCs) to provide connectivity between BT's business
customers and its SIP trunk service in the UK. AudioCodes' SBCs
will be deployed at BT's business customers' premises enabling
existing on-site communications platforms to connect simply and
rapidly to BT's network.
BT's SIP trunk service's infrastructure is powered by
BroadSoft's BroadWorks hosted telephony platform. AudioCodes' SBCs
are certified by BroadSoft ensuring seamless interoperability with
BT's infrastructure. Furthermore, the SBCs offer hybrid
functionality, supporting both traditional telephony interfaces
(including BRI and PRI) and comprehensive SIP interoperability on
the same device. As a result, BT can deploy the same SBC model at
virtually any location regardless of the customer's existing
on-site equipment, simplifying training and support processes.
Commenting on the solution, Mayuresh
Thavapalan, BT's Director Volume Products, said, "BT's SIP
trunk service is aimed at providing our business customers with
scalable, cost-effective and reliable voice communications as they
start to migrate to IP based services. AudioCodes' SBCs provide a
crucial link between customers' existing platforms and our network,
helping them transition to the new environment as smoothly as
possible."
"We are proud that our SBCs have been selected for BT's SIP
trunking service," said Lior Aldema, AudioCodes' COO and Head of
Global Sales. "Our Mediant family of SBCs has been designed to
deliver seamless and reliable SIP trunk connectivity. In
conjunction with their easy deployment and support for voice
quality monitoring, the flexibility and scalability of our SBCs
makes them ideal for hosted service provider implementations."
