Alcatel Shanghai Bell has already delivered more than 1 million VoIP ports in the Asia Pacific Region and this additional partnership with Continuous Computing will help accelerate key NGN deployments in China. Alcatel is a leading global telecom equipment manufacturer and Alcatel Shanghai Bell - created through the integration of the former Shanghai Bell and Alcatel's key business unit in China - is a market leader for telecommunications solutions in the Asia Pacific Region. The company strives to maintain its leading edge by utilizing state-of-the-art infrastructure such as Continuous Computing's Trillium VoIP and SIGTRAN protocol software. In addition, by providing critical local support through its new office in Shanghai, China and through its global customer support organization, Continuous Computing was instrumental in ensuring successful interoperability testing required by Alcatel Shanghai Bell's Tier 1 carrier customers. Continuous Computing's hands-on involvement had a direct impact in ensuring a smooth rollout of Alcatel Shanghai Bell's NGN Phase 1 products and is expected to remain important for Alcatel Shanghai Bell's future deployments. "After a rigorous evaluation process we selected Continuous Computing for our NGN solutions because of superior product performance, carrier grade system reliability, key supplier relationships and a leading-edge technology roadmap The context of product management The existence of product managers in the product software industry indicates that software is becoming more and more commercialized as a standard product. ," said the NGN Product Manager of Alcatel Shanghai Bell. "Continuous Computing's local team in China and its exceptional engineering organization have done a tremendous job in supporting us and we have been very pleased with their responsiveness, technical expertise and willingness to do whatever it takes to help us meet our aggressive deployment objectives." "By working closely with Alcatel Shanghai Bell during the design, interoperability and deployment phases, we have become a virtual extension of their engineering team and are well positioned to help ensure their satisfaction," said PJ Go, President and co-founder, Continuous Computing. "Because important customers like Alcatel are operating ever-more-globally, we believe that in addition to providing superior products, offering local support is a crucial element of the overall value proposition. We look forward to many more successful deployments with Alcatel Shanghai Bell in the future." This announcement marks a long-standing relationship between Alcatel Shanghai Bell and Continuous Computing. Both companies have worked together to provide solutions for SS7, SIGTRAN and VoIP applications. Continuous Computing is supplying numerous standards-based platform elements to support Alcatel Shanghai Bell's Voice NGN product line. These include Flex21(TM) CompactPCI hardware platforms Each hardware platform, or CPU family, has a unique machine language. All software presented to the computer for execution must be in the binary coded machine language of that CPU. Following is a list of the major hardware platforms in existence today.
