Signalware Platform Powers Enterprise Wireless Telecommunication Services
MOUNT LAUREL, N.J., Nov. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- At the GSMA
Mobile Asia Congress in Macau, China, Ulticom(R), Inc. (Pink Sheets: ULCM),
a leading provider of network signaling solutions, today announced
telecommunications equipment maker Contela Inc. has chosen Ulticom's
Signalware(R) software as the signaling platform for its enterprise,
IP-based Wireless Office Solution (IP-WOS).
Contela's IP-WOS is an all-IP based system which allows an enterprise
to easily build Local Area Wireless Networks inexpensively. With IP-WOS,
corporate users can seamlessly access an enterprise's communication
services using their CDMA phone, as easily as they do with their PBX
extensions. Users have the added benefit of being able to use these
corporate CDMA phones for both public and private access.
Signalware provides Contela with a robust application development and
deployment platform to deliver new value-added services to their customers.
With support for a wide variety of global SS7 standards and flexible
support for country-specific protocol variants, Signalware can be used as
part of a strategy to meet global network deployment requirements.
"Our partnership with Ulticom started several years ago with the
development of our wireless convergence infrastructure solutions, including
our recent Colour Ringback Tone service. We chose Signalware SS7 for the
IP- WOS solution because of its carrier-grade reliability and proven track
record in the field," said Mr. HaeKwan Jung, Team Leader, Marketing Team at
Contela. "We were impressed with its performance and flexibility to enable
new value added services that our customers can take to market quickly."
IP-WOS's high-density capabilities allow carriers to reduce the number
of servers a typical service is deployed on, thus reducing expenses. This
was a major factor for SK Telecom, the leading wireless carrier in Korea,
who recently chose the system for its enterprise customer base. "SK Telecom
can now provide new solutions cost effectively to their corporate clients,"
continued Contela's Mr. HaeKwan Jung. "The new services they can now offer
with IP-WOS result in increased customer satisfaction, and they are saving
on OPEX due to less system maintenance and downtime."
"Contela is one of the leading solution providers in Asia that have
already experienced the advantage of deploying Signalware SS7 in their
product portfolios," commented Osman Duman, senior vice president and CMO
at Ulticom. "We're excited to work with Contela to deliver a truly
converged network application that offers immediate value to enterprise
customers."
