NET and Quintum to Showcase VoIP MultiPath Switches and Gateways at the Upcoming Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference

Network Equipment Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: NWK), a global provider of multi-service network and VoIP solutions for government and enterprise customers, and its subsidiary, Quintum Technologies, an innovator in VoIP technologies, announced today that they will be exhibiting together at the upcoming Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference in Houston from Tuesday, July 8th, through Thursday, July 10th, 2008. They will be co-located in booth #209.

Both NET and Quintum are Microsoft Gold Certified Partners, and both companies offer products that are certified by Microsoft to be interoperable with Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007. The companies have developed a customized Microsoft configuration wizard to simplify deployment of the gateways, and they offer worldwide representation, extensive sales engineering resources, and 7x24 technical support and training.

NET’s VX Series VoIP products support easy integration of Microsoft OCS 2007 into today’s enterprise voice networks. The VX Series products offer “Any-to-Any” voice switching (SIP to SIP, TDM to TDM and SIP to TDM) to simplify VoIP network integration, and SIP to SIP mediation to interface with standard SIP-based PBXs, IP-PBXs, SIP endpoints and SIP service providers. The VX Series provides secure voice communications and high-performance call capacity.

Quintum’s Tenor offers a Unified Communications Proxy, which also supports “Any-to-Any” VoIP switching, as well as the ability to support branch office deployments while minimizing total cost of ownership. Tenors are noted for their breadth of VoIP enterprise gateway options and configurations, supporting from two analog FXS/FXO ports up to 32 T1/E1/PRI spans. Quintum is also a 2008 Microsoft Partner of the Year Finalist.

NET and Quintum have also both put together a promotion targeted at Microsoft voice partners to draw attention to, and increase awareness of their joint presence. The promotion offers Microsoft voice partners the ability to purchase an NET VX 1200 or a Tenor as a not-for-resale unit at a discounted price, and receive free set up and training. “The NET VX Series and Quintum Tenor both address the needs of companies looking to deploy unified communications in their existing voice and data networks,” said Chuck Rutledge, Vice President of Marketing for both NET and Quintum. “NET and Quintum are committed to simplifying that process.”
