|||||
BERNE, SWITZERLAND: Patton Electronics�US-manufacturer of award-winning SmartNode� VoIP and other networking equipment�announced today that Swisscom has selected the SmartNode 5300 as the customer-premise enterprise session border controller (E-SBC) for its new Business Connect SIP-Trunking phone service for small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs). The Swisscom Business Connect service delivers the cost savings of flat-rate SIP Telephony�including free intra-office calling�while integrating a customer�s existing IP PBX with a Swisscom SIP trunk and virtual switchboard. "The SmartNode ESBR is an essential part of our service," said Daniel Suter, Product Manager for Swisscom Business Connect. �Patton provides a unique combination of valuable capabilities that streamline the installation and turn-up of a Business Connect SIP trunk." Ideal for carrier-providers that offer SIP-trunking services for SMEs, Patton�s SmartNode 5300 Enterprise Session Border Router (ESBR) comes with an auto-provisioning solution that eliminates truck rolls, as detailed in Patton�s recently published white paper. Using Patton�s cloud-based SmartNode Redirection Service to request, download, and install a customized configuration file for the Swisscom service, the SN5300 automatically activates the SIP trunk when powered up on the customer premise. SmartNode Split Management Domain protects the Swisscom WAN-facing configuration from any (perhaps inadvertent) subscriber meddling while protecting the customer�s LAN-facing configuration against WAN intrusion. The SmartNode installation wizard makes it quick and easy for subscribers to set up the LAN side of the connection. �Patton's ESBR accelerates certification of customer IP PBX and UC systems by an order of magnitude," Suter added. �From testing to implementation, the Patton team has been extremely responsive throughout the project.� Launched over a decade ago, Patton�s extensive interoperability program assures interoperability of SmartNode VoIP devices with every significant VoIP product and service on the market today. The Patton E-SBC provides a SIP normalization function that ensures any customer-premise IP PBX or Unified Communications system will interoperate�and quickly certify�with the provider�s SIP service. SmartNode devices are industry-renowned for set-it-forget-it reliability. The SN5300 provides a secure WAN/LAN demarc with protocol normalization for 4 to 256 concurrent SIP-to-SIP calls. Combined with industry-standard upstream QoS, Patton�s DownStreamQos� ensures high-quality voice within the subscriber premise. Like all Patton products, the SN5300 comes with Patton�s Gold-Standard Free Support at no additional charge. Patton�s Platinum-Plus Premium 24/7 Support is also available.
