VoiceCon 2009: ADTRAN Launches Alliance Program for its IP PBX

ADTRAN has rolled out an Alliance Program for the NetVanta 7000 IP PBX. The program brings best-in-breed technology and services to complement the NetVanta 7000 to provide fully interoperable solutions for small and medium-sized businesses.

The first phase of the program brings a number of IP telephony technology partners and SIP trunking service providers to the table with ADTRAN. Technology partners bring things to the table that ADTRAN doesn't make, ranging from desktop IP phones and DECT wireless phones, to applications services such as speech recognition, call accounting, call recording, unified messaging and telepresence/video conferencing. Companies signing on as IP telephony technology partners include CounterPath, Incendonet, LifeSize Communications, Multi-Tech, Polycom, Resource Software International (RSI), SIP Print, and snom. 

Six SIP Trunking service providers have been certified to be fully interoperable with the NetVanta 7000: Bandwidth.com, BroadVox. Covad Communications. CommPartners Connect, Speakeasy and Voxitas.

The NetVanta 7000 Series IP PBX supports up to 50 phones at a business location, and the 1U box includes an IP PBX, voice mail, auto attendant, IP router, 24-port Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch, firewall and VPN.
