• Time Warner Cable - While smaller companies are often reluctant to migrate to SIP-trunks and IP-based voice communications, Patton offers a solution that helps service providers reach more businesses with such services.

“We’re making life a little easier for businesses,” said Sean Gerrity, Patton’s US Sales Director. “Patton and Time-Warner already made sure the solution works. That means IT people will have fewer headaches and managers will have fewer worries.”

SmartNode VoIP gateway-routers and enterprise session border controllers (E-SBCs) offer built-in traditional telephony interfaces (PRI, BRI, FXS, and FXO)—as well as up to three Ethernet ports--that can seamlessly connect existing legacy or all-IP telephony systems to Time Warner’s SIP trunk service while supporting TDM survivability.

Today’s announcement is only the most recent episode in Patton’s interoperability story. Persistently developed over more than a decade, Patton’s extensive technology partner program includes just about every major vendor in the telecom industry today.

In related news, Patton recently announced certified interoperability for SmartNode with MetaSphere IP-telephony software as a new member of the Metaswitch Mosaic technology partner program.
