Centile and Patton Team Up to Deliver Next-Generation Unified Communications for Large Enterprises7.21.2009 Field-proven interoperability between IntraSwitch© VoIP application software and SmartNode™ VoIP gateways delivers convenient, cost-saving unified communications with rapid, trouble-free deployment for large businesses. BERN, SWITZERLAND: Patton-Inalp Networks AG—creator of SmartNode™ industry-leading VoIP gateways—together with Centile — creator of IntraSwitch© VoIP application software—announced today they are working together to provide integrated unified communications (UC) solutions for large enterprises. The field-proven interoperability between Centile’s IntraSwitch© VoIP application software and Patton’s SmartNode™ VoIP gateways ensures rapid deployment and, trouble-free operation for large companies transitioning to next-generation unified communications networks. Managing Director of Centile, Bertrand Pourcelot said, “Extensive SIP interoperability—proven in the field—enables Centile and Patton-Inalp to deliver enhanced integrated solutions to enterprises.” Centile and Patton have recently deployed converged-IP solutions for French firewall provider Arkoon’s newly commissioned offices in Paris and Lyon and AttijariWafa Bank with sites located in Casablanca and throughout France. “The troubleshooting has all been done,” said Ramon Felder, president of Patton-Inalp, “so it works right out of the box. Our seamless solutions are up-and-running today in real-world business networks. Companies can choose Patton and Centile with confidence.” A high-precision clock, unique to SmartNode™, eliminates common interoperability failures with DECT, PBX and FAX communications when VoIP is deployed in the context of ISDN systems. Mr. Pourcelot continues, “When deployed with Centile IP Telephony solutions, the powerful call-routing and first-rate ISDN capabilities of Patton-Inalp products deliver best-of-breed enterprise communications.” IntraSwitch© provides such IP-PBX and UC functionality as conferencing, hunt groups, presence, and find-me-follow-me. SmartNode™ gateway-routers complement IntraSwitch© functions with SIP-based call routing and a Unified Communications Agent (UCA) that provides any-to-any multi-path switching for seamless integration with existing Telco networks and ISDN PBX systems. Mr. Pourcelot concludes, “Centile appreciates such responsive partners as Patton-Inalp who provides excellent support, consistent distribution channels and very aggressive product line pricing. This is the combination Centile customers are looking for.” Besides first-line stability and reliability, SmartNode™ delivers voice quality comparable to ISDN, while rich ISDN features allow users to use legacy handsets and PBX functions exactly as they are accustomed. Patton is also stimulating analog VoIP markets with recent price cuts on SmartNode™ FXS gateways. On 1 January 2009 Patton marked their 25th anniversary and named Robert R. Patton as CEO.
