BroadSoft Becomes Premier
Tenant in tekVizion Labs
VoIP Component Testing, Certification to Hasten Converged Network
Adoption
RICHARDSON, TX (June 6, 2005) – tekVizion™
PVS, Inc., the new standard for systems integration, announced
today that BroadSoft®, Inc., the leading provider of VoIP
application software, has signed an agreement to become a Premier
Tenant in tekVizion Labs™, the first lab of its kind offering
third-party certification and testing for Voice over IP (VoIP)
products and services.
“Premier Tenants” are vendors that provide their
products to tekVizion Labs to allow them to be used in certification
testing performed by tekVizion Labs and/or to make them available
to other vendors and service providers for remote testing. Premier
Tenant status significantly enhances the vendor’s test capacity
by turning tekVizion Labs into an extension of the vendor’s
own test facilities. Premier Tenant status also speeds up test
turnaround time and provides priority interoperability testing.
BroadSoft's BroadWorks® platform provides a comprehensive
range of advanced applications, including hosted PBX, IP Centrex,
mobile PBX, business trunking and residential broadband services
fully integrated into a single VoIP applications platform. BroadWorks
is uniquely capable of providing these applications with the reliability,
redundancy, scalability and regulatory capabilities required to
deliver carrier-class service.
tekVizion Labs offers several types of testing services involving
both remote and on-site testing at tekVizion Labs. Remote testing
can be used for pre-certification or ad-hoc test scenarios, whereas
formal certification is conducted on-site at tekVizion Labs by
tekVizion engineers. Certification can be provided between two
products or in a multi-product solution. All lab services are
available to both vendors and service providers.
“Interoperability of VoIP components is key to BroadSoft’s
continued success at winning the confidence of network operators,”
said Mike Tessler, company president and CEO. “tekVizion
Labs furnishes independent, third-party demonstration that BroadSoft
products work reliably with other VoIP components of converged
networks.”
“BroadSoft is a recognized and respected market leader
in the VoIP application platform industry,” said Terri Griffin,
tekVizion chief operating officer. “BroadSoft’s contribution
to tekVizion Labs’ VoIP product testing and certification
services will benefit the entire industry and encourage faster
adoption of advanced VoIP services.”
Potential customers of tekVizion Labs can request testing via
the tekVizion Labs website (www.tekVizionlabs.com) or by contacting
the program director, Jerry Mistrot. The tekVizion Labs website
allows anyone to register to be notified when new Premier Tenants
join the lab, when products are certified, and when new services
are offered by the Labs.
