Auris Technology Deploys Cantata Technology's IMG 1010 For Innovative Telecom Services.

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Cantata Technology[TM], one of the world's leading independent providers of enabling communications technology, today announced that Auris Technology a market leader in the global telecommunications industry and a premiere platform service provider in the prepaid telecommunications market, with an unique worldwide TDM/VoIP network has deployed the IMG 1010[TM] Integrated Media and Signaling VoIP Gateway in its worldwide network. Auris provides turnkey solutions, from prepaid and VoIP services to MVNO wireless and WiMax operations.

"We selected Cantata's IMG 1010 for our hosted switching solution because of its powerful feature set including full DS3 capacity and SS7 signaling/termination. In addition, the IMG 1010's compact, high density 1U package is a much more cost-effective and easier to manage solution than competitive offerings that require multiple boxes and increased operating expenses," said Freddy Sidi, COO of Auris Technology. "Cantata has really proven itself with a long history of quality products and unmatched support not found elsewhere in the industry. We look forward to our continued relationship with Cantata as both companies grow and succeed."

Next Generation Services Developed by Auris

With the help of Auris, a large international money transfer company recently launched a free phone minutes giveaway promotion for the Latin American and Caribbean regions. To encourage more use of the company's wire transfer services, the recipient of the transfer received 3-5 free minutes of phone calls with each transaction. Auris designed and deployed all of the services needed for the promotion including tracking the transactions, reporting, crediting the customer's account for the phone minutes, and processing the phone calls over the Cantata IMG 1010.

Auris also recently worked with the world's largest mobile prepaid provider, to develop an international long-distance network from the U.S. to countries including Brazil, Ecuador, and Mexico, to help them unify their network for calls into and out of the U.S. "The IMG 1010's SS7 functionality was critical to this deployment, as we couldn't have a presence in some of the Latin American markets without it," said Sidi.

"Auris' selection of Cantata's IMG 1010 is reflective of the product's growing influence and strong demand among the global communications service provider community," said Marc Zionts, chief executive officer, Cantata Technology, Inc. "Working with innovative companies like Auris, Cantata is establishing a new industry standard for global service providers to rapidly and cost-effectively deploy innovative, revenue-generating applications as they transition to next generation networks."
