SmartNode™…More than just talk!
GAITHERSBURG, MD, USA and MEDOLLA, ITALY: Patton Electronics
(www.patton.com)— US-manufacturer of award-winning
SmartNode™ VoIP solutions, BODI rS™ High Availability Fixed & Mobile Routers, and
CopperLink™ Ethernet Extenders—has earned the 2013 Unified Communications Excellence Award presented by INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine, published by TMC.
Today's announcement marks Patton's fourth Excellence Award and
thirteenth major industry award for SmartNode™ VoIP solutions.
The Unified Communications (UC) Excellence Award recognizes excellence in innovation for Patton’s IP-based, voice-and-data network implemented in northern Italy for the Modena regional government.
Delivered on the heels of two severe earthquakes (5.9 on the Richter scale), Patton’s UC solution leverages unique technology features in
SmartNode VoIP equipment to provide special disaster-recovery capabilities.
Patton has published a free four-page case study
of the award-winning solution as a RealityCheck® success story.
To design and implement the reliable public network, Patton teamed up with local business partner
ATS Group Spa. According to ATS Business Development Manager,
Stefano Carlini:
“We chose the Patton SmartNode SN4940 in order to guarantee maximum reliability—which in today’s market, professional VoIP systems absolutely must offer. Whenever we plan and deploy UC solutions, the extensive range of high-quality SmartNode™ models is a key factor in our customers’ strategic decisions."
For Mr. Carlini, the project also involved a personal dimension:
“As a resident of Mirandola I have personally experienced the events of the earthquake and its consequences. It is rewarding to know that we contributed to the restoration of our territory."
Rich Tehrani, CEO of TMC, said:
“It gives me great pleasure to present our 2013 Unified Communications Excellence Award to Patton for its innovative SmartNode VoIP solutions. The Patton team exhibits a proven commitment to addressing real needs in the marketplace. Such excellence is inspiring to see. I look forward to many future innovations from Patton.”
Tehrani shouldn’t have to wait long. Patton plans to release several new SmartNode products this year. Meanwhile,
Patton unveiled a new SmartNode customer-premise VoIP SBC just two weeks ago.
