capability, as evidenced in architectures endorsed by the Multiservice
Switching Forum, 3GPP and others”, said Lee Phillips, tekVizion’s

function, but also the ability to define and manage bundled services
that span disparate networks. We have witnessed first hand the
need for these capabilities in today’s complex networks.
The combination of the CCE product suite and tekVizion’s
capabilities provides a powerful solution to network operators’
integration and interoperability issues.”

CEO. “Their experience developing customized protocol adapters
will ensure timely availability of preferred applications, expand
the universe of network systems to which the CCE products interface
and accelerate the process for integrating the CCE products into
multi-vendor environments. In addition, tekVizion’s ability
to develop custom applications will give our customers a head
