PORTSMOUTH, NH -- (MARKET WIRE) -- May 14, 2007 --Pannaway Technologies, Inc., designers and
developers of next-generation, converged IP broadband systems for
telecommunications companies worldwide, announced today that NTELOS, a
large integrated communications provider in North America, has deployed its
award-winning Service Converged Network (SCN™) system. NTELOS will use
a unique cap-and-grow strategy that allows them to easily transition to an
all IP, converged services network with Session Initiation Protocol
(SIP)-enabled, carrier-grade digitized voice.
"Pannaway's products worked as advertised," said Glenn Butler, director of
technology planning at NTELOS. "In a matter of days, Pannaway rose to the
challenge and demonstrated carrier-grade, SIP-based digital voice when
integrated with our existing softswitch. Pannaway is delivering a working
solution that allows us to transition our TDM-based voice customers to a
unified architecture capable of supporting next-gen converged IP services."
Key components of NTELOS' new IP and Ethernet network include Pannaway's
BAS-300™ (Broadband Access Switch) and BAR™ (Broadband Aggregation
Router). The BAS-300 series is an aggregator of simultaneous ADSL2+ and
provides native VoIP enabled POTS support, as well as lifeline POTS. The
BAR is a Gigabit Ethernet aggregator and internetworking switch that
simplifies NTELOS' ATM to IP transition by allowing for the simultaneous
aggregation of their legacy packet DSLAMs and Broadband Access Switches.
"NTELOS' selection of Pannaway Technologies is a testament to our focus and
commitment to delivering pure IP and Ethernet networks to telcos," said
Mark A. Carpenter, president at Pannaway Technologies. "We are excited to
help NTELOS move their business model forward through the delivery of new
IP-based communications services and we look forward to working
hand-in-hand with them for years to come."
