New Global Telecom Deploys Acme Packet To Expand Wholesale VoIP Services
BURLINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Acme Packet® (NASDAQ: APKT), the leader in session border control solutions, today announced that New Global Telecom (NGT), a leading provider of wholesale hosted and trunk-based VoIP solutions in the United States, has deployed Acme Packet's Net-Net® session border controllers (SBCs) in order to expand its VoIP services. NGT's VoIP services are targeted for small to medium businesses, including its certified SIP trunking offering for Microsoft® Response Point™. Acme Packet's SBCs were selected in conjunction with its NextSBC Reassurance Program, designed to ease both the technical and business obstacles of migrating users of other SBCs to Acme Packet's industry-leading solutions.
Acme Packet's Net-Net SBCs are used to support NGT's VoIP services, providing security, maximizing service reach and assuring SLAs. Net-SAFE®, Acme Packet's comprehensive security framework, provides denial of service (DoS) attack protection, topology hiding and dynamic access control to prevent malicious attacks and non-malicious overloads. The Net-Net SBC's flexible call admission control policies and application server load balancing allow NGT to ensure its service availability and deliver superior call quality for its customers. Maximizing the number of networks and customers to which NGT can deliver its services, Acme Packet's hosted NAT traversal enables VoIP calls and other SIP-based sessions to be completed through premises-based firewalls and NAT devices.
"Acme Packet is a company built for providing service provider solutions—encompassing not only its leading session border controllers but also its knowledgeable support organization," said Larry Stanfel, vice president, VoIP operations and technology from New Global Telecom. "Net-Net SBCs have delivered the performance, reliability, strong security and comprehensive control features we require to provide a first-rate business service."
"Acme Packet's proven experience in hundreds of deployments throughout the world allows providers like NGT to focus on the other aspects of delivering the best service to their customers," said Seamus Hourihan, vice president of marketing and product management for Acme Packet. "Our Net-Net SBCs solve the challenges for delivering trusted, first-class IP interactive communications over both service provider and enterprise network borders."
