Alcatel-Lucent Certifies Patton as Application Partner

BERN, Switzerland - July 17, 2019 - PRLog -- SmartNode™ VoIP… More than Just Talk!

BERN, SWITZERLAND: Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise (ALE)—a provider of enterprise networking, communications and services to over 830,000 customers worldwide—has certified Patton—US-based manufacturer of SmartNode VoIP, NFV, VNF, and Cloud solutions—in its Application Partner Program (AAPP).

The new interop certification makes SmartNode solutions from Patton readily accessible to customers within the ALE small and medium enterprise (SME) communications market.

As a certified application partner, Patton offers unparalleled interoperability and value-added capabilities to complement ALE International communication solutions for enterprises.

Patton's SmartNode VoIP CPE offerings address business critical requirements for organizations seeking to implement an enterprise communications solution for 5 to 300 users based on OXO Connect converged-communication platforms:

• ALL-IP / SIP Trunking —The Patton eSBC portfolio delivers best-in-class performance for SIP normalization and IPv4 to IPv6 translation while providing OXO Connect business-critical communication services with a supplementary level of security with SIP TLS, SRTP, and DoS protection.

• Legacy Integration — The Patton VoIP CPE portfolio is uniquely powerful in its capabilities for integrating fax machines, PoS terminals, intercoms, modems, analog speakers, and other traditional (business-critical) FXS devices into the Alcatel-Lucent ALL-IP/SIP-telephony system based on the OXO communications platform. Patton gateways offer POTS line connectivity to address business-communications survivability concerns.

The ALE AAPP helps its members develop, certify, deploy, and market, innovative applications based on Alcatel-Lucent technologies.

PCIS (http://www.support-alliance.com/)—the support division of Alliance-com and a major distributor for ALE and Patton in France—has certified in its Saint Ouen labs Patton enterprise session border controllers (eSBC), analog VoIP gateways, and hybrid eSBC-gateways for interoperability with the ALE OXO Connect Evolution IP PBX.

In related news, earlier this year Patton announced its new virtual CPE (https://www.patton.com/press/New-Virtual-CPE-Supports-VNF...) that supports VNF hypervisor solutions. The virtual SmartNode (vSN) is available to ALE customers for installation in a virtualized environment.
