Patton Electronics (www.patton.com)"”exhibiting this week at Astricon"”has won the 2012 INTERNET TELEPHONY Excellence Award for its IP-communications solution delivered for the supply-chain management firm, Norbert Dentrassangle (ND), Italy operations.
Today´s announcement marks Patton´s third Excellence Award and eleventh major industry award for the SmartNode TM brand of VoIP solutions since 2005.
Implemented by systems-integration partner Techlan Reti, Patton´s award-winning solution employs a wide assortment of SmartNode TM VoIP gateway, gateway-router, VoIP IAD and ipChannelBank products to provide a converged-IP voice-and-data network interconnecting numerous ND facilities in the Trezzo, Italy region.
"We did not even consider other alternatives," Alessio Miranda, Project Manager for IP Phone Solutions at Techlan Reti explained. "We decided on Patton from the very beginning because we already knew that SmartNode is VoIP that works."
Leveraging the legendary reliability of SmartNode VoIP equipment, Techlan´s system design ties together new-generation SIP phones and iPBX systems with traditional analog and ISDN voice gear from several manufacturers, while providing access to WIFI wireless, UMTS GSM, and the local PSTN (Telecom Italia)--all interconnected over ND´s corporate MPLS network.
ND facilities vary widely with respect to existing telephony equipment and services, as well as scale. Sites range from remote branches with 1-8 seats, to mid-size offices with up to 32 phones, to large regional headquarters employing one hundred or more workers.
Offering a complete line of SmartNode VoIP solutions scaling from 2 to 2048 voice and fax-over-IP channels, Patton was able to address the broad diversity of needs, transitioning costly and complex legacy network architecture into a streamlined all-IP network.
Patton has published a free case study of the award-winning solution as a RealityCheck® success story.
"We are very pleased to present our 2012 Excellence Award to Patton for outstanding quality and survivability in IP-communications solutions," said Erik Linask, Group Editorial Director of INTERNET TELEPHONY.
"Year after year, SmartNode innovations drive converged-IP technology forward, providing reliable, high-performance VoIP equipment to clients worldwide," stated Rich Tehrani, CEO, TMC.
In related news, Patton announced IPv6-ready SIP-Trunking VoIP Gateways earlier this month. The company expects to announce its FXO ipChannelBank in the coming weeks.
