Network Telco Selects teleSys Software's MACH7-HA Platform for ADS 500 Class 5 Central Office Switch.
Burlingame, California
February 13, 2001
teleSys Software announced today that Network Telco has selected its MACH7™-High Availability (HA) Platform for deployment in their ADS 500 CLASS 5 Central Office Switch. The MACH7-HA platform provides a turnkey system with a high availability configuration of the MACH7- SS7 Stack. The platform includes the necessary Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) that allow users to easily add their own network service applications.
“Performance, time to market and high availability were the major criteria in our selection of the teleSys’ MACH7-HA Platform,” says Bob Pinckney, President of Network Telco. “The MACH7-HA Platform will help us to deploy our ADS 500 Class 5 Central Office Switch in the networks of Competitive Local Exchange Carriers (CLECs) so that they can compete effectively in smaller markets via services such as Voice Over DSL and Cable telephony.
The MACH7-HA Platform is a high availability platform for network equipment providers, application developers, system integrators and service providers. The platform's open system architecture offers benefits to companies deploying new network-based applications, including “24x7” operations, cost-effective open platforms, major protocols in the SS7 and IP networks, and greater than 99.999% (5 Nines) availability.
The ADS 500 is built around Lucent Technologies' Excel Switching platform coupled with proprietary software from Network Telco. With the ADS 500 platform a customer receives the advantages of all of the reliability and dependability of a Lucent hardware platform, while paying a fraction of the cost of a traditional CLASS 5 switch. The difference is in the software. The Network Telco ADS 500 comes with a flexible and user-programmable CLASS 5 feature set equal to and at times exceeding the CLASS 5 features of the much larger traditional end office switches.
"Partnering with Network Telco has enabled us to launch our MACH7-HA Platform in the telecommunications market where reliability, quality, and time-to-market are essential,” says Bobby Bahl, CEO of teleSys Software.
“We are very pleased that Network Telco has chosen teleSys’ MACH7-HA platform,” says Ajit Sadarangani, Vice President of Sales & Marketing for teleSys Software. “ This will enable them to provide a highly reliable, open architecture based product to the CLEC marketplace.”
