Azteks VoDSL Protocol Stack Enables KEYMILEs Enhanced UMUX Platform

Azteks protocol stack provides the VoATM signaling interface (for VoDSL service) for KEYMILEs UMUX multi-service access platform. KEYMILE adopted Azteks A-BLES CO/CP stacks to extend the established UMUX product to support voice services over ATM, based on the ATM Forum BLES standard including the ELCP and PSTN protocols.

BOULDER, CO (PRWEB) April 16, 2004--Azteks protocol stack provides the VoATM signaling interface (for VoDSL service) for KEYMILEs UMUX multi-service access platform. KEYMILE adopted Azteks A-BLES CO/CP stacks to extend the established UMUX product to support voice services over ATM, based on the ATM Forum BLES standard including the ELCP and PSTN protocols.

Scott Cartwright, VP of Global Sales and Marketing with Aztek, said KEYMILEs extension of their UMUX multi-service access platform demonstrates their commitment to the evolution of their products toward fully packetized voice with industry-standard protocols, which are Aztek's area of expertise. They approached us to extend our protocol stack suite to include VoATM BLES, while the standard was being introduced. As with our V5 product, AV5®, we were happy to get involved early in the industry standard. We worked closely with them to meet their specific requirements beyond the standard protocol."

Sameer Sant, Director of Corporate Strategy at KEYMILE noted, It was important to us to obtain the standard protocol from an expert, independent vendor. It is much more cost-effective to acquire standardized protocols that have already been proven. Azteks AV5 product and work with ETSI on the V5 standard, on which BLES is based, was a key factor in our decision to acquire the protocol stack from them. We knew we could be confident of BLES interoperability, which has been proven in our field trials."

Azteks A-BLES CO and CP products have now been licensed for several Voice Gateway and IAD products. This product line extends our coverage of voice signaling protocols used in the evolving network of voice/data convergence systems.
