Eicon Networks Corporation Becomes Premier
Tenant in tekVizion Labs
VON, BOSTON, MA (September 20, 2005) – Eicon Networks Corporation
(“Eicon”) announced today it has entered into an agreement
with tekVizion PVS, Inc. (“tekVizion”) 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. Partnership with tekVizion offers Eicon’s
partners and customers the ability to have independent testing
performed to validate interoperability and performance of Eicon’s
products.
“Premier Tenants” are vendors who have designated
tekVizion Labs as an authorized test facility. Premier Tenants
provide their product(s) to tekVizion Labs to be used in certification
testing performed by tekVizion Labs and/or to make them available
for remote and/or solution 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.
Eicon has provided to tekVizion Labs its Diva Server V-T1/PRI
and Analog 4-Port communication adapters as well as its SoftIP
product. Offering digital and analog network interfaces combined
with rich, high-performance media processing characteristics,
Eicon Networks Diva Server V-Series telephony adapters (T1/PRI,
BRI and Analog) are key building blocks for enabling a new breed
of voice business applications. Diva Server’s powerful onboard
Digital Signal Processor (DSP) resources - dedicated to each communication
channel, ensure real-time voice processing and thus reduces latency
and improves overall system performance for sophisticated, high-density
speech solutions. In addition to Eicon hardware products, Diva
Server SoftIP is a supplementary software product that broadens
the application area of Diva Server telephony adapters and media
resource boards, in the field of IP Telephony.
tekVizion Labs offers several services including tekVizion and
third-party certification testing, remote testing, solution testing,
IMS conformance and interoperability testing, product/compliance
assessments, and outsourced testing. Remote testing can be used
for pre-certification or ad-hoc test scenarios, whereas formal
tekVizion 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.
“tekVizion Labs is providing a vital service to the VoIP
industry by offering service providers and vendors a place to
obtain vendor-neutral, third-party interoperability certification
and testing services”, said Kipton Heuertz, Eicon’s
Vice-President of Product Marketing and Alliances. “Including
Eicon’s hardware and software products in tekVizion Labs
affords Eicon the ability to test with some of the leading applications
in the VoIP space and we are excited to be a part of it.”
“Eicon’s Diva Server adapters play an important role
in the availability of advanced voice applications for the telephony
industry”, said Terri Griffin, tekVizion chief operating
officer. “Having Eicon’s products available in the
lab will help broaden the availability of these types of applications.
We are very pleased to have them as a Premier Tenant.”
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.
