Celsian Momentum V Series ADSL IAD Passes Interoperability Testing With MetaSwitch's VP3000 Broadband Voice Platform.Business Editors and High-Tech Writers TUSTIN, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 24, 2001 Solution Delivers Voice over Broadband and Subscriber Services Without a Class 5 Switch Celsian Technologies Inc., a manufacturer of broadband voice and data products, and MetaSwitch today announced that the Celsian Momentum V Series ADSL See DSL. ADSL - Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line 4 port Voice Over DSL router has successfully passed interoperability testing with MetaSwitch's VP3000 Broadband Voice Platform. The combined solution delivers toll-quality Voice over Broadband (VoB) telephone calls and subscriber services such as Caller ID, Call Waiting, Call Forwarding and Three-Way Calling, without requiring a Class 5 Switch. Celsian has consequently become a MetaSwitch Interoperability Partner. "Increasingly, vendors including ourselves are committing to open standards, such as the ATM Forum Broadband Loop Emulation Service (BLES BLES Broadband Loop Emulation Service (DSLF) BLES Buffer Layer Engineering in Semiconductors (ESPRIT Project 6854) ), to accelerate the deployment of Voice over Broadband. The speed with which we were able to develop our IAD (Integrated Access Device) A device that multiplexes a variety of communications technologies in the customer's premises onto a single telephone line for transmission to the carrier. It also demultiplexes the incoming streams into their respective channels. and achieve interoperability with the MetaSwitch VP3000 clearly demonstrates the benefit of this approach," said Carl Jaafar, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Celsian. Following a series of tests hosted at MetaSwitch's recently established facilities in California, the Momentum V Series IAD achieved interoperability with MetaSwitch's award-winning VP3000 Broadband Voice Platform. By combining broadband voice and Class 5 switching functions in a high density, carrier class system, the VP3000 provides a cost-effective VoB solution, which is designed to eliminate the requirement for an expensive Class 5 switch. Support for the ATM Forum's Broadband Loop Emulation Service (BLES) also ensures interoperability with a wide variety of DSLAM (DSL Access Multiplexor) A central office (CO) device for ADSL service that intermixes voice traffic and DSL traffic onto a customer's DSL line. It also separates incoming phone and data signals and directs them onto the appropriate carrier's network. See DSL. and IAD devices. In addition, the VP3000's future-proof softswitch architecture offers a clear upgrade path to Voice over IP and MPLS (1) (MultiProtocol Lambda Switching) The earlier name for GMPLS. See GMPLS. (2) (MultiProtocol Label Switching) A standard from the IETF for including routing information in the packets of an IP network. (VoIP/MPLS) and other broadband voice services, including wireless and cable. Commenting on the significance of the result, Jaafar noted that "for the first time, we are in a position to offer service providers the option of deploying VoB with our IADs, without consuming legacy Class 5 resources. "In addition, they can take advantage of Celsian's SmartCNCT(TM) Extensions, which allow for Port to Port and IAD to IAD calling, with mini-PBX features. Combined with the subscriber features built into the MetaSwitch VP3000, this creates a truly compelling service offering." "We were pleased to work with Celsian to prove the capabilities of their IAD, and rapidly demonstrate interoperability with the MetaSwitch VP3000," said John Lazar, MetaSwitch's vice president of sales and marketing. "This is a testament to the maturity of the BLES standard and the ability of MetaSwitch and Celsian to collaborate effectively, for the benefit of our customers."
