Worldwide Computer Products News-5 March 2009-Network Equipment Technologies introduces VX Series Release 4.7(C)1995-2009 M2 COMMUNICATIONS LTD http://www.m2.com

Network Equipment Technologies Inc (NET) (NYSE:NWK), a provider of network and VoIP solutions to enterprises and government agencies, announced on Wednesday (4 March) the general availability of Release 4.7 of its VX Series secure voice solution.

NET said that the new release adds several features to its VX Series, including support for V.150 Universal Modem Relay. The V.150 capability, when combined with the VX Series' existing ability to support TDM-based Secure Terminal Equipment (STE) and Secure Communications Interoperability Protocol (SCIP) phones, enables interoperability between old and new technologies. The V.150 solution also includes the company's Bestflow frame-packing technique, which allows VoIP to traverse firewalls, while providing bandwidth-saving capabilities and a range of features to protect the reliability of secure telephony over IP.

In addition, the new release includes support for the US Department of Defense's MLPP implementation over packet and circuit networks. MLPP allows call precedence values to be enforced when networks exhibit resource contention or bandwidth limitations. The company's implementation provides a secure solution for MLPP and, when integrated with a network using Differentiated Services (DiffServ), provides MLPP-over-IP. The latest release also provides SIP Trunking for the PBX, facilitating deployment of new features without a full replacement of the PBX.

No pricing details were disclosed.
