Patton-Inalp Networks—creator of the SmartNode™ brand of industry-leading VoIP technology solutions—has expanded their longstanding interoperability program by joining the Triple Play Alliance.
The Triple Play Lab (Dormach, Germany) showcases Patton-Inalp’s VoIP CPE interoperating with solutions from 15 other hardware and software vendors and service providers.
"You can’t make a triple play by yourself," said Andreas Danuser, CEO of Patton-Inalp. "We are honored to be selected for this all-star team. Extreme Networks, Avaya, Fujitsu, Siemens, all the players—they need our technology expertise. . . Voice-over-VPN , DownStreamQoS™, voice-data survivability. . . and we need theirs."
Founded in 2005, the Triple Play Alliance works to accelerate the global development of triple-play (data/voice/video) technology and services. Member companies combine the full range of competencies required to execute triple-play services: consulting, infrastructure, VoIP CPE, switching, applications, and OSS.
"The alliance is a natural fit for us," said Ramon Felder, President of Patton-Inalp. "As a member of the global technology community we’ve always supported the standards. We were early with SIP, for example. We were early with IPsec voice encryption, and our SmartNode was among the first VoIP CPEs with IGMP support for triple-play. The alliance formalizes some key relationships, yet we’ve been doing triple-play for a long time. We’ve been doing interop since the beginning."
Since inception, Patton-Inalp has aggressively pursued multi-vendor interoperability for their SmartNode™ and SmartLink™ customer-premise VoIP equipment. Now, the multi-national manufacturing firm has linked arms with 15 other companies to eliminate barriers to worldwide triple-play service deployment. Currently, Patton is working on a large commercial triple-play deployment with a major customer in Central Europe. In the USA, an integrated, end-to-end triple-play monitoring system is currently underway.
Since its April 2006 inauguration, the triple play lab has provided a live test and demo environment that promotes multi-vendor operability for converged broadband services, including IP telephony, streaming audio-video, IPTV, video-on-demand, and other real-time applications.
During 23-25 October, the Triple Play Lab will host the 2007 EMEA Channel Summit (http://www.patton.com/...) for Patton-Inalp’s distributor and reseller partners.
