Cedar Point Communications to Demonstrate Advanced Voice Features at Cable-Tec Expo

DERRY, N.H., June 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Cedar Point Communications, the leader in integrated packet-based voice switching technologies for the cable industry, will demonstrate features designed to enhance cable system operators' telephony offerings at the Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers (SCTE) Cable-Tec Expo June 15-17 in San Antonio.

At its booth (#547) at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, Cedar Point will show the ability of its SAFARI C(Cubed)(TM) Media Switching System to support a wide variety of applications, including Television-Based Picture Caller ID; Video Telephony using SIP; and new Business Services, including Hunt Groups and Virtual Private Networking capability.

"The deployment of cable voice that is taking place today will pave the way for additional applications that will differentiate the industry from competitors," said Dave Spear, executive vice president, strategy and market development for Cedar Point Communications. "SAFARI C(Cubed) was designed from the beginning with the technical capabilities to simply and cost- effectively provide both PacketCable voice and advanced broadband telephony services."

SAFARI C(Cubed) is the only totally integrated carrier class VoIP switch that incorporates -- at no additional cost -- all of the components that make up the PacketCable(TM) voice switching infrastructure, eliminating the need for operators to purchase, maintain, upgrade and regression test separate Call Management Servers, Media Gateways, Record Keeping Servers, Announcement Servers, Signaling Gateways, Ethernet Switches and CALEA servers.

Designed to accommodate not only current voice switching needs but also the anticipated migration to video telephony and multimedia services, the PacketCable(TM)-qualified SAFARI C(Cubed) provides superior performance and reliability, significantly reducing capital expenditures, system integration and operations costs for cable operators offering telephony services while increasing network integrity, security and privacy.
