Sylantro Systems and ENA Provide Schools, Libraries
and Government Agencies with a Robust, Quick-to-Market Hosted VoIP
Service Solution
Sylantro Synergy Delivers Rich Carrier-Grade
Features, Significant ROI as a Key Component of ENA's Connect VoIP
Services
Thursday, June 28, 2007
Campbell, Calif., June 28, 2007 - Sylantro Systems Corp., the leading
supplier of feature servers for hosted VoIP services in carrier
networks, and Education Networks of America (ENA), a managed Internet
service provider which creates and delivers IP technology solutions
for school systems, libraries, and government agencies, today announced
the successful implementation of ENA's Connect VoIP services featuring
Sylantro's Synergy platform. ENA Connect VoIP services began rolling
out in April, with more than 30 implementations expected by the
end of July.
ENA selected the Sylantro Synergy platform based on criteria which
included rich telecommunications options, proven carrier-class reliability,
SIP for Business standards support, seamless interoperability with
the existing VoIP and convergence components of ENA's IP infrastructure,
and the ability to run on Linux. The solution was sourced by Solunet
(formerly Dynavar), a leading technology integrator and solutions
provider.
"The richness of features available with Sylantro's Synergy platform,
as well as the flexibility of its architecture, really allows us
to provide our customers with a cost-effective solution which meets
their unique needs," said Michael McKerley, director of research
and development, ENA. "Twenty percent of the locations we serve
are Mac-based, and a number of one-to-one computing initiatives
in schools rely heavily upon LINUX, so Sylantro's support of user
interfaces and soft phones that work across many different desktop
platforms was crucial to us. Schools and libraries often start with
smaller VoIP implementations, but need the latitude to expand quickly
without having to constantly upgrade or replace premise-based hardware.
By incorporating Sylantro into our ENA Connect suite of VoIP services,
we can offer rapidly scalable, enterprise-class telephony solutions.
We can also offer time-of-day/day-of-week personalized call routing,
which mobile teachers absolutely love."
"Sylantro's technology for handling emergency calls has proven
invaluable to us," said Simon Weller, product architect, ENA. "We've
been able to craft a solution where a school director can move from
school to school during the day, with a Wi-Fi or soft phone, and
anytime they call 911 we are able to seamlessly route the call to
the correct Public Safety Answering Point, with the correct address
information, no matter which school the director happens to be in.
We've appreciated Sylantro's collaborative approach and broad knowledge
of the IP convergence marketplace. Sylantro Synergy has greatly
helped ENA distinguish its solution."
"ENA is an excellent partner," said John Trobough, senior vice
president of Solutions, Sylantro Systems. "We've been impressed
with both their technical expertise and their customer service,
and we look forward to working with them to bring 21st century communications
to schools and libraries. ENA's Connect VoIP Service is a great
example of how organizations large and small can benefit from hosted
VoIP. Hosted voice enables full PBX features without the cost and
management typically associated with on-site premise equipment,
and is a valuable solution for a wide range of institutions, including
small and medium businesses and various vertical markets, such as
schools, libraries and government agencies."
