RICHARDSON, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 6, 2005--tekVizion(TM) PVS, Inc., the new standard for systems integration, announced today that BroadSoft(R), Inc., the leading provider of VoIP application software, has signed an agreement to become a Premier Tenant in tekVizion Labs(TM), 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(R) 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.
