MARLBOROUGH, Mass. -- ThinkEngine Networks, a Cognitronics company (AMEX:CGN), a leading innovative provider of carrier-grade Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and TDM audio conferencing solutions, today announced that A+ Conferencing, a full-service conferencing company that focuses on providing audio, video and web conferencing services for medium to high volume customers, resellers and agents, has chosen to implement the VSR 1000 enhanced voice series router as the driving force behind their entrance into conferencing within the VoIP market place.

ThinkEngine offers an affordable, simple way for service providers to enter the conferencing market, transition to a next-generation network or expand into new voice applications. The VSR1000 provides one platform for conferencing and voice applications simultaneously supporting both TDM and IP networks. No need for additional software, hardware, TDM interface cards, or gateways.

"We wanted to get our feet wet with VoIP and were looking for a solution that could support our core PSTN traffic and allow us to test services with the VoIP network," said Mike Burns, President of A+ Conferencing. "ThinkEngine was very responsive and gave us the attention and level of service that was lacking with our other vendors," said Burns. "We've never looked back when we installed the VSR1000. The features are on par and we have state-of-the-art technology that works well--at a cost savings of 50% less than our incumbent providers."
