Pannaway Technologies Receives
INTERNET TELEPHONY Magazine's
"Product of the Year" Award for 2004
Broadband Access Switch (BAS™) for ILECs Honored for Outstanding Innovation
Portsmouth, NH
The BAS is a key component of Pannaway's Service Convergence Network (SCN™), a managed end-to-end IP solution that enables Independent Local Exchange Carriers (ILEC) to aggressively compete with offerings from cable companies, Competitive Local Exchange Carriers (CLEC), and wireless providers through the delivery of tiered "Triple Play" services. ILECs are now able to provide user control features, full Lifeline POTS support, and remote network management capabilities without requiring "forklift" upgrades to their existing networks or cable plants.
Pannaway's BAS is recognized as the industry's most cost-effective DSLAM, DLC and ATM-to-IP gateway replacement. The Pannaway BAS delivers guaranteed voice, video, and data services simultaneously over a single broadband connection, enabling telcos to competitively offer new revenue generating services to subscribers. The BAS effectively doubles the bandwidth (28Mbps) and eclipses the functionality of traditional access solutions while maintaining its industry-unique status for the delivery of Lifeline POTS with advanced calling features.
"We are extremely honored to be recognized by INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine as the 2004 Product of the Year award winner," said Michael Skubisz, chief technical officer for Pannaway. "Our goal has always been to deliver a true end-to-end IP-based service transport that enables ILECs to offer profitable world-class telephony features, high-speed Internet access, and premium video - all over a single broadband connection. This award recognizes our company's achievement in delivering on the benefits of converged IP networking."
The award competition was open to all NGN 2004 exhibitors who officially launched a new product or service since November 2003. For additional information about the winner and the Best in NGN Award, see http://www.bcr.com/ngn/.
