BOSTON -- sentitO Networks (www.sentito.com), a leading provider of open and distributed VoIP switching equipment and service delivery solutions for global service providers, today announced its selection and deployment by enhanced service provider Konfer Technologies, Inc. (www.konfertech.com). sentitO's ONX System 3 is now successfully deployed in Konfer's (KTI) network, providing seamless and secure delivery of circuit-switched transport and enhanced subscriber services into and across its national, softswitch-based packet network.

"Rigorous evaluation of top VoIP infrastructure vendors highlighted the strategic advantages of the sentitO ONX System 3 solution," said Christopher Hall, CEO of Konfer Technologies. "The sentitO ONX System 3 enables KTI to rapidly expand and deliver high value SIP applications to our customers with superior scale, performance and reliability at compelling entry point economics."

KTI selected the sentitO ONX System 3 in August after a six month evaluation process. The carrier is currently leveraging the sentitO solution to handle 10 million sessions of live traffic and plans to scale traffic up to 70 million sessions by the end of the year. The wholesale carrier is utilizing the sentitO ONX System 3 featuring the Intelligent Voice Gateway and Proxy 7 signaling gateway to provide the critical TDM-IP conversion and secure SS7-SIP internetworking and call control functions. The enhanced service provider offers wholesale nationwide Direct Inward Dialing (DID) and 1-800 origination and termination services across its SIP network.

"We are very pleased to be selected by Konfer and to provide them with a robust VoIP service delivery solution featuring market-proven scalability and application flexibility," said Dennis Chateauneuf, CEO of sentitO Networks. "ONX System 3's pure IP hardware, patented inter-working technology and open, distributed architecture gives wireline and wireless carriers an intelligent, future-proof system for expanding their service offering from legacy to IP services and on to more advanced multimedia SIP applications optimized for emerging IMS architectures."

Featuring a flexible, SIP architecture and purpose-built, carrier-grade hardware, sentitO's edge-based ONX System 3 IP switching and service delivery system allows Konfer to rapidly scale high value IP applications across legacy and IP network topologies. ONX System 3 features a unique, distributed and highly scalable 'pure packet processing' backplane that performs integrated signaling and media gateway functions that securely converts TDM traffic to IP and SS7 signaling to SIP. Due to its standards-based, non-proprietary approach to interoperability and service delivery, the ONX dramatically reduces the time to market and serves as the pivot point for the creation and delivery of enhanced SIP services for global providers. The ONX transparently synchronizes the transport, signaling, and open application layers to create a truly scalable and future-proof service delivery architecture.

"Our selection and deployment of sentitO ONX System 3 fits the KTI vision to create a robust, flexible IP services infrastructure based on key standards and open IP components," continued Hall. "The sentitO ONX System 3 helps us achieve clear advantages in capacity, scale and performance, and serves as the ideal service delivery platform for ongoing service expansion and innovation in the future."
