(ExcelSwitching.com) announced today that Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC®)’s INTERNET TELEPHONY® magazine (www.itmag.com) has named Excel’s new family of 1010 media gateway, media server and signaling server platforms as a recipient of a 2004 Product of the Year Award. INTERNET TELEPHONY has been the VoIP Authority Since 1998™. As the newest member of Excel’s AnyGen family, the Excel 1010 platforms leverage Excel’s 15 years of success in service creation environments to provide a more scalable set of platforms that quickly and cost-effectively deploy applications that easily bridge legacy TDM and IP networks. “We are honored to receive this award from Internet Telephony in recognition of our technological advancements in an ever-changing telecommunications climate,“ said JC Murphy, Excel president. “We truly see telecommunications as an area of constant evolution, and carriers need the most flexible and easily deployed technology to cope with those changes. Our new set of 1010 platforms was designed with the next generation, converged network in mind, and it has already proven to be a critical factor in getting services out to subscribers.” The Excel 1010 family of platforms converge signaling, media servers and media gateways at the network edge, facilitating a distributed network that can dramatically lower backhaul costs. Excel’s platforms can just as easily be deployed as building blocks in a centralized configuration, minimizing capital expenditures. With either configuration, service providers can be assured of low costs and flexibility to meet their future needs without requiring any “forklift upgrades.” Also, by utilizing a platform that supports a wide range of standards-based protocols and extensions, service providers may have the opportunity to quickly capitalize on new, profitable market opportunities, independent of network protocols and architecture deployed. “Each year INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine bestows its Product of the Year awards on companies that have demonstrated excellence in technological advancement and application refinements. Excel has demonstrated to the editors of INTERNET TELEPHONY that its products or services are committed to quality and innovation while addressing the real needs in the marketplace,” said Rich Tehrani, Group Publisher and Editor-in-Chief of INTERNET TELEPHONY. The Product of the Year Award winners for 2004 will be published in the January 2005 issue of INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine.
