Broadband Network
ATLANTA, Jun 2, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Continuous Computing Corp. (CCPU), the leading provider of communications software solutions, announced today that Sumitomo Electric Network (SEN), has started shipping Trillium(R) Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) enabled Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) modems that provide IP based voice and video capabilities over the broadband network. The SIP product is a key component of the high-performance, high-availability suite of Trillium(R) software stacks offered by CCPU.
SEN, a wholly owned subsidiary of the SEI (Sumitomo Electric Industries Ltd.) group, is a leading pioneer in xDSL technology. SEN is currently shipping ADSL modems, embedded with Trillium's standards-based SIP User Agent (UA) solution, to service providers as they roll out their next-generation networks. These broadband access devices enable subscribers to connect to the carrier's network and benefit from the advanced services offered. The ADSL modems have been in deployment trials and successfully tested for interoperability and help ensure plug and play capability for trouble free and easy installation at consumer premises.
"CCPU is committed to support and further develop the Trillium product line to provide solutions for the worldwide broadband and IP telephony evolution, and Sumitomo's deployment of our SIP product validates our strategy," said Prasad Kallur, vice president of Trillium Products, CCPU. "One of our primary goals is to ensure customers continue to utilize our solutions with confidence as they have demonstrated over the past decade. CCPU continues the commitment to offer high performing cutting-edge solutions backed with outstanding support services in our quest to address the time-to-market constraints facing our customers."
The SIP stack offering is feature rich and interoperability guaranteed and supports extensions to provide numerous configurations for easy adaptability in communications equipment ranging from edge devices for customer premise equipment (CPE), such as SIP based IP phones and ADSL modems, to carrier-grade core network elements, such as SIP servers and softswitches. This flexible SIP stack can also be used in 3G wireless networks and for inter-softswitch communication. Built on the TAPA(R) (Trillium Advanced Portability Architecture) foundation, the SIP product seamlessly integrates with the other suite of protocol stacks without requiring significant changes to the design, implementation and testing approaches.
"As a leader in the development of global xDSL solutions, SEN is continuously striving to design plug-and-play CPE equipment that service providers can directly sell to subscribers thereby significantly reducing installation costs," said Minoru Kuramoto, deputy general manager, SEN. "Access to Trillium telecom solutions enabled us to effectively solve the time-to-market requirements of our customers. A rich tradition and proven reputation coupled with excellent dedicated support made available during the integration and product trial phase really makes CCPU a natural vendor of choice."
