(SIP)-based services, such as Sylantro Systems' award-winning Hosted PBX (Private Branch eXchange) An inhouse telephone switching system that interconnects telephone extensions to each other as well as to the outside telephone network (PSTN). and IP Centrex A telephone service in which an IP-based PBX is located in the telephone company's facilities. It connects to the customer via the LAN rather than by telephone wires. IP CENTREX offers voice over IP and other IP-based services as well as connectivity to the regular telephone system (PSTN). applications, on next-generation platforms. Sylantro Systems is the first applications server partner to complete SIP interoperability testing in Convergent Networks' Cohesion integration lab. Interoperability is a critical requirement in turning up new SIP-based services, and Convergent Networks is fully committed (Law) committed to prison for trial, in distinction from being detained for examination.

"Convergent Networks' platform provides service providers with a proven, carrier-grade solution for deploying next-gen services," said Dave Scarborough, vice president of strategic alliances at Sylantro Systems. "We both market our solutions to innovative carriers that are challenging the status quo [Latin, The existing state of things at any given date.] Status quo ante bellum means the state of things before the war. The status quo to be preserved by a preliminary injunction is the last actual, peaceable, uncontested status which preceded the pending controversy. . By providing a tested, massively scalable solution, we can ensure they can rapidly deploy robust solutions that quickly generate the new revenue that today's carriers need to succeed." Convergent Networks' Cohesion products have been deployed in carrier networks for more than two years and are carrying over three billion minutes per month of revenue-generating traffic, more than any other next-generation platform. Sylantro Systems' Hosted PBX and IP Centrex applications are actively being deployed by carriers who market managed telephony services as a revenue-generating alternative to traditional in-house PBXs and key systems, and the company recently announced an industry-milestone 10,000-user mark for its IP Centrex services. "The promise of next-generation networks has always been about new revenue sources from advanced services," said Carl Baptiste, managing director of product management at Convergent Networks.
