CYGCOM and Paraxip Technologies Launch Next-Generation VoIP Gateway Bundles

Montreal, Toronto & Portland, OR (PRWEB) February 8, 2006 -- CYGCOM Inc., a value added channel distributor of voice and speech systems and services for converged voice and data solutions, and Paraxip Technologies, a leading supplier of software-based SIP gateways, today announced the availability of new VoIP gateway product bundles optimized for speech, IVR and contact center applications. The specially priced bundles include the following components:

Paraxip Gateway Software Version 2.0, HMP Edition. The highly innovative Open Gateway software from Paraxip offers unique-in-industry features such as Open Protocol Translation, Advanced Call Progress Analysis over the SIP protocol, and dynamic call transfer selection. The version 2.0 introduces support for purely host-based media processing, advanced line management functions and more.

Intel NetStructure® Digital Interface Cards offering wide PSTN protocol support for comprehensive support of switches, PBXs and ACDs, at reduced costs.

Intel NetStructure® Host Media Processing Software Release 2.0 offering highly flexible, software-based media processing functions fully leveraging the power of today’s general purpose processors.

CYGCOM eSupport offering comprehensive technical support services for one year.

“Speech and Contact Center platforms are evolving very rapidly, now more than ever relying on SIP as the standard telephony connectivity protocol for their core products” said Jeff Valliant, President and CEO of CYGCOM. “Our new product bundles based on Paraxip and Intel’s latest technologies allow platform vendors and system integrators to obtain flexible and highly cost effective SIP gateway solutions that fit right into their product architecture”.

“CYGCOM’s full range of technical support and platform integration services are the perfect complement to standards-based software solutions such as our Open Gateway” said Serge Forest, President and CEO at Paraxip Technologies. “Customers throughout North America now have a wide choice of pre-packaged, pre-tested gateway configurations available from CYGCOM, but also maintain the flexibility to mix-and-match components ‘a la carte’”.

The building block approach allows the utmost flexibility in packaging the gateway solutions, from low-density ‘embedded’ gateway sub-systems co-residing with a SIP application on a single host, all the way to independent, high-density, software-based gateway appliances based on off-the-shelf servers.

“As demand rises for IP-based gateways, the requirement to provide a flexible, scalable infrastructure built on industry standards will become increasingly important,” said Tim Moynihan, director of product marketing, Modular Communications Platform Division, Intel. “The combination of Paraxip and Intel? building blocks offered by CYGCOM meets those demands and helps to accelerate the deployment of IP infrastructure and applications.”

The specially priced Paraxip Gateway bundles are available today from CYGCOM.

CYGCOM Inc. and Paraxip Technologies are members of the Intel® Communications Alliance.
