3Com Corporation today announced that the 3Com OfficeConnect Gateway Integrated Access Device (IAD) has been certified as fully interoperable with the CPX-1000 voice services platform from Jetstream Communications, the leader in Voice over Broadband solutions.
The OfficeConnect Gateway was granted certification after passing a series of stringent compatibility tests in Jetstream`s interoperability labs which feature state-of-the-art equipment testing real-world scenarios. The testing focused on three primary areas; quality of service, voice reliability, and Jetstream`s VoiceBand support. 3Com is also a Gold partner in Jetstream`s comprehensive IAD partner program, which includes licensing of Jetstream`s VoiceBand protocol and close marketing and technical cooperation.
"Jetstream views 3Com as an important partner in enabling deployment of Voice over Broadband," said David Sandford, Director of Product Management at Jetstream. "3Com is known for high-quality DSL CPE, and their introduction of a Voice over DSL solution underscores the momentum towards bundled voice and data services over DSL."
"3Com is committed to providing high quality DSL solutions to enable service providers to cost effectively deploy voice and data services to businesses," said Ed Wadbrook, executive director, voice solutions, 3Com Business Networks Company. "3Com was pleased to work closely with Jetstream in facilitating this rigorous testing and ultimately achieving certification."
The 3Com OfficeConnect Gateway family, announced in early September, enables service providers to offer high quality voice and data services to businesses. The solution provides the flexibility to easily add up to 12 voice lines as the company grows and businesses can further expand their voice solutions by connecting the 3Com NBX system, a networked telephony solution providing feature-rich voice connections to the OfficeConnect Gateway. The OfficeConnect Gateway is available in ADSL and SHDSL versions. In addition, the OfficeConnect gateway offers advanced Virtual Private Network (VPN) capabilities so service providers can provide secure connections for employees, suppliers and customers over the public Internet.
