Netcom Selects VocalTec for VoIP Network Rollout in Kirgizstan

VocalTec Communications Ltd. (NasdaqCM:VOCL), a global provider of carrier-class multimedia and voice-over-IP solutions for communication service providers, announced today that Netcom, an alternative carrier in Kirgizstan, has selected VocalTec as the solution provider for its Next Generation VoIP network.

Netcom will deploy VocalTec’s solutions throughout its network across Kirgizstan. At the heart of the deployment is VocalTec’s Essentra BAX Class-5 application server, providing a comprehensive set of innovative residential and enterprise VoIP services. The deployment also incorporates VocalTec’s Essentra iCX – an Integrated SIP-to-SS7 Solution – providing seamless interconnection between VoIP and TDM networks, and VocalTec’s Essentra EX – VoIP Peering Manager – allowing the interconnection between disparate VoIP networks.

This complete solution will enable Netcom to provide its customers with state-of-the-art packet based telephony services, while maintaining strong quality of service and a high level of voice quality. The solution will also enable Netcom to cost effectively carry telephony traffic across its network and provide PSTN termination services throughout Kirgizstan and worldwide.

The deployment will serve to strengthen Netcom’s infrastructure and presence in Kirgizstan, and will effectively position Netcom for future network growth and expansion.

“We are honored to have been selected by Netcom as their provider for VoIP infrastructure equipment,” said Ido Gur, President and CEO at VocalTec. “Russia is a strategic market for VocalTec and our solutions are specifically designed to fit the needs of emerging market service providers such as Netcom, and we look forward to a longstanding relationship with Netcom as they solidify their position in the market.
