Sonus Networks Receives 2010 Communications Solutions Product of the Year Award Business Wire   "Press Releases - English"
NBS5200 Networked Session Border Controller Recognized for Outstanding Innovation

Wednesday, July 20 2011 9:00 AM, EST

WESTFORD, Mass. --(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Sonus Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: SONS), a market leader in next-generation IP-based network solutions, today announced that TMC, a global integrated media company has named the NBS5200TM Session Border Controller as a recipient of a 2010 Communications Solutions Product of the Year Award.

The NBS5200 is the highest-density, highest-scalability Session Border Controller (SBC) solution in its class with market-leading session capacity, integrated transcoding, and advanced signaling and media interworking. Based on Sonuss next-generation ConnexIP platform, the NBS5200 is the first product to combine full SBC functionality with carrier-class overload controls, integrated media interworking, an advanced routing and policy engine, and multi-access security gateway features delivered in an appliance form factor.

Sonus was chosen to receive a 2010 Product of the Year Award for creating exceptional advancements in communications, said Rich Tehrani , CEO, TMC. The NBS5200 has shown benefits for its customers and provides ROI for the companies that use it. Congratulations to the entire team at Sonus. I look forward to more innovative solutions from them in the coming year.

The Communications Solutions Product of the Year Award recognizes the vision, leadership, and thoroughness that are characteristics of the prestigious award. The most innovative products and services brought to the market from March 2009 through March 2010 were chosen as winners of the Communications Solutions Product of the Year Award. The 2010 Communications Solutions Product of the Year Award winners are published on the INTERNET TELEPHONY and Customer Interaction Solutions websites.

Having the NBS5200 recognized as the Communications Solutions Product of the Year is a validation of our product vision, said Bob Bradley , product line manager for security solutions at Sonus Networks . As service providers and enterprises began deploying advanced applications including unified communications, video, and instant messaging they increased the burden on SBCs, which began as simple, security-focused elements. While their original purpose remains, much has changed that requires a new class of networked SBCs. The NBS5200, the first of these networked SBCs, is a direct result of over a decade of Sonuss intellectual expertise and continuing commitment to innovation.

WVT Communications / USA Datanet Uses Sonus to Upgrade Offerings With Class 5 Services PR Newswire   "Press Releases US - English"

Wednesday, January 26 2011 10:00 AM, EST

WESTFORD, Mass. , Jan. 26, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Sonus Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: SONS), a market leader in next-generation IP-based network solutions, today announced that WVT Communications and its business division, USA Datanet, have enhanced their services and added Class 5 services by upgrading their network with Sonus equipment. The new deployment includes a GSX9000 High-Density Media Gateway, additional ASX Telephony Application Servers, and a redundant Insight Customer Portal.

WVT Communications is a full-services telecommunications company that serves New York State and northern New Jersey with business-class, hosted IP Voice and data services. The company was founded in 1902.

"We will be able to move up to Class 5 and enhance our current services by upgrading our Sonus GSX/NBS and PSX products," said Jay Mercer , SVP, Network Operations, WVT Communications . "But the impact doesn't stop there. We can broaden our residential, wholesale and business offerings as well as replace our end-of-life Pactolus platform. These benefits will make WVT stronger in a highly competitive market."

The GSX9000 gateway features a scalable blade-server architecture that allows customers to add more TDM or IP processing capacity to the chassis as their networks grow and evolve. This functionality makes the GSX9000/NBS Session Border Controller ideal for network peering, international gateways and Class 4 switch replacements. The ASX Server includes a suite of residential and business features that can be delivered to both IP and non-IP endpoints for a consistent user experience among the widest number of subscribers.

American Data Networks Selects Sonus for Critical Interconnection in Newly Competitive Costa Rican Telecommunications Market PR Newswire    "Press Releases US - English "


Tuesday, November 09 2010 9:01 AM, EST

WESTFORD, Mass. , Nov. 9, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Sonus Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: SONS), a market leader in next-generation IP-based network solutions, today announced that American Data Networks, one of the first telecommunications providers to offer services in the newly deregulated Costa Rican market, will deploy a new Class 4 trunking solution based on the Sonus GSX9000. Other Sonus equipment used in the deployment includes the PSX Centralized Route Server, Element Management System (EMS), DataStream Integrator (DSI) and International Gateway with SS7 interconnection capability.

With more than 60 carriers granted operating licenses in the newly deregulated Costa Rican telecommunications market, American Data Networks is one of the first operators to begin offering services under the new rules, and the first company in the country to use a Sonus switch. A key to success in this competitive environment is seamlessly and securely interconnecting with Instituto Costarricense de Electricidad (ICE), the state-owned incumbent operator, to provide long distance services to ICE subscribers. By deploying the Sonus solution, American Data Networks has not only gained significant capacity for VoIP peering with partners in the United States , but is also in a strong position compared to all other providers.

"The deployment of Sonus equipment is an integral component of American Data Networks' strategy of becoming a leading provider of telecommunications services in Costa Rica 's recently deregulated market," said Arturo Saenz , General Manager of American Data Networks. "Sonus is widely recognized and respected by many of the leading carriers around the world and the relative ease of deployment and migration from our legacy system has significantly accelerated our time to market."

Ultimately, American Data Networks will benefit from the operational simplification offered by Sonus equipment. In a rapidly evolving market, capabilities for both PSX Centralized Routing and Centralized Provisioning have become requirements for scaling beyond the limitations inherent in the operator's former solution, which relied on a full-mesh static configuration at the gateway level.

Sonus, via SS7 interconnection, is helping to fulfill an additional requirement for interconnection among carriers as the Costa Rican market continues along the path of deregulation. American Data Networks had found that its former solution was not able to do so natively.

"The increasingly competitive nature of the Costa Rican telecommunications market provides great opportunity, but also introduces very real challenges to the service providers that are operating there," said Steve Collins , Vice President of Americas Sales and Corporate Sales Strategy, Sonus Networks . "Sonus products offer operators such as American Data Networks a compelling value proposition and the means to effectively build out their networks to meet both customer and business requirements."

About American Data Networks

American Data Networks is specialized in telecommunications services of the highest quality. The company has developed the international and national infrastructure, and the technology platform and customer service that guarantees it. American Data provides Internet services, VoIP services, point-to-point private networks, datacenter colocation services, and network management to its Costa Rican customers.

WESTFORD, Mass., Sept 22, 2010 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Sonus Networks, Inc.
(Nasdaq: SONS), a market leader in next-generation IP-based network solutions,
today announced its Adopter level membership in the recently formed Unified
Communications Interoperability Forum (UCIF), a non-profit alliance of worldwide
technology leaders working together to fully realize the potential of unified
communications (UC). The UCIF is dedicated to enabling standards-based,
cross-vendor interoperability of UC hardware and software across enterprises,
service providers and consumer clouds and is designed to enable global
businesses to be more productive.

Recognizing that seamless interoperability based on open standards is one of the
key requirements to drive UC further into today's enterprises, UCIF members will
collaborate to overcome existing interoperability barriers to widespread UC
adoption and deliver a reliable and rich Unified Communications experience, with
the goal of propelling worldwide enterprise UC adoption.

"We recognize that open standards and interoperability are essential for
organizations deploying enterprise-wide technology such as unified
communications solutions," said Mykola Konrad, director of enterprise product
management. "As Sonus moves to enable more enterprise unified communications
through our session border control and session management products we feel that
having a strong organization such as UCIF to help guarantee solution
interoperability will help our customers and the entire industry."

"Interoperability is not only critical to customer success for deploying unified
communications but intrinsic to the delivery of legacy, current and
next-generation UC tools, services and infrastructure from multiple vendors.
Until now, efforts to achieve interoperability have appeared ad-hoc, which has
given customers little assurance that their existing and planned investments are
protected and will deliver the value promised," said Jonathan Edwards, research
analyst, Unified Communications, IDC. "I'm delighted to see Sonus Networks take
a leading role by joining the UCIF. Together, these companies will help drive
industry-wide adoption of open standards and develop programs that put
accountability on the vendors and provide peace of mind and investment
protection for end customers -- something that will surely accelerate adoption
of UC technologies."

The UCIF will work with existing industry standards, identifying and filling the
gaps between current protocols and interoperability issues that have stalled
broad adoption and deployment of valuable communications methods. UCIF
membership is open to hardware and software solution providers, service
providers and network operators. For more information or to join the UCIF, visit
www.ucif.org.

About the Unified Communications Interoperability Forum

The Unified Communications Interoperability Forum (UCIF) is a non-profit
alliance of worldwide communications technology leaders working together to
realize the potential of unified communications (UC) by increasing efficiency,
decreasing implementation costs and improving the interoperability experience
for UC customers. The UCIF's vision is to enable interoperability of
standards-based UC hardware and software across enterprises, service providers,
and consumer clouds, as a means of generating incremental business opportunity
for all stakeholders in the ecosystem and of increasing the business use of UC
technologies and services. The UCIF creates and tests interoperability profiles,
implementation guidelines and best practices for interoperability between UC
products and existing communications and business applications. Visit

(SONS) , a market leader in next-generation IP-based network solutions, today announced that 360networks, a full-service provider of Private Line Transport, VoIP, IP Transit, and Local Access services, has added capacity and advanced IP peering capability to its network using the Sonus NBS-9000 Network Border Switch. The Sonus NBS-9000 Network Border Switch supports a hybrid configuration, which serves both TDM-to-IP and IP-to-IP traffic through a common platform.

By leveraging this backbone, 360networks' service provider customers can quickly pursue next-generation strategies, migrate from legacy networks, expand their geographic footprint and services, and increase network diversity.
"We are witnessing consistent growth and market demand for VoIP as well as other IP services," commented Brady Adams, chief technical officer at 360networks. "We needed to be able to scale to meet this growth cost effectively with an integrated solution for both TDM and VoIP services.

Sonus Networks Announces Facilities Restructuring Initiative to Further Reduce Costs PR Newswire    "Press Releases US - English "

Wednesday, August 25 2010 4:45 PM, EST

WESTFORD, Mass. , Aug. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sonus Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: SONS), a market leader in next generation IP-based network solutions, today announced a restructuring initiative to close its offices in Ottawa, Canada and in Darmstadt, Germany , and to relocate its Freehold, New Jersey facility to a smaller, more cost-effective space in the same area. These actions will result in the reduction of the Company's workforce by 12 employees, or approximately 1% of employees worldwide.

As a result of these actions, Sonus expects to achieve annual cash savings of approximately $2.0 million to $2.3 million . Sonus anticipates incurring charges of approximately $3.5 million to $4.0 million on a pre-tax basis in the second half of fiscal 2010 for lease terminations, severance and related costs.

"These initiatives follow the restructuring activities we undertook last year and are consistent with our ongoing efforts to further strengthen Sonus' operating efficiencies and more closely align the Company's cost structure with our market opportunities," commented Richard Nottenburg , president and chief executive officer of Sonus. "By eliminating redundant office space and related costs, we will be better positioned to invest in Sonus' innovative, market-leading technology, while continuing to deliver new product and service offerings to our customers."

The actions related to this restructuring initiative are expected to be completed by the first quarter of fiscal 2011.
