North Pittsburgh Systems (MM) (NASDAQ:NPSI)
Historical Stock Chart
From Sep 2019 to Sep 2024
Sylantro Systems Corp. today announced that North
Pittsburgh Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:NPSI) has selected the Sylantro
applications feature server as the primary infrastructure for the
company's upcoming consumer broadband voice service offering. Formed
in 1986, NPSI owns and operates three key subsidiaries through which
it offers a broad spectrum of sophisticated telecommunications
services to business and residential users throughout western
Pennsylvania.
The consumer Voice over IP (VoIP) service will be provisioned
utilizing the capabilities of all of the NPSI subsidiary companies,
but will be offered to consumers through North Pittsburgh Telephone
Company (NPTC), a 99-year-old incumbent local exchange carrier (ILEC).
The service is planned for initial deployment in late 2005 and
includes broadband VoIP capabilities packaged with the company's DSL
service offering and unlimited local, regional and long-distance VoIP
calling. NPTC will include advanced Sylantro-based functionality such
as click-to-dial, selective and/or scheduled call forwarding, call
logs and a browser-based call management interface for user control
and management of their VoIP environment and features. The company
expects to expand the offering to customers of its other subsidiaries
in the near future.
"Sylantro's platform has been deployed by multiple Tier 1
providers for consumer and business offerings, and allows us to
deliver differentiated services in a commodity consumer VoIP market,"
said Al Weigand, vice president of North Pittsburgh Systems, Inc.
"Further, Sylantro is the only company with the demonstrated
scalability and marketing expertise to help drive our successful
deployment."
In addition to the Sylantro applications and servers, the NPSI
deployment is leveraging the Ensim VoIP service enablement solution to
automate provisioning and other operational aspects of the new
consumer VoIP service and IPeria's ActivEdge unified communications
applications for advanced integrated messaging services.
"We are very pleased that North Pittsburgh Systems has
standardized on the Sylantro solution for their new consumer VoIP
offering," said Pete Bonee, president and CEO of Sylantro Systems.
"NPSI has consistently been a leader in adopting and deploying
state-of-the-art technologies, including their 100-percent digital
switching network and extensive SONET optical network. The Sylantro
platform will allow them to leverage their infrastructure investments
to deliver a new generation of consumer VoIP services."
