Aepona and Nortel deliver Strategic OSA/Parlay Integration

Aepona has a long standing, successful, synergistic relationship with Sun Microsystems to deliver high speed, scalable telecommunications solutions to Tier 1 and Tier 2 operators. With the advent of IP communications, Sun and Aepona deliver on the need for a converged Service Delivery Environment that can leverage existing assets, while supporting the demands of Java Developers for rapid development tools, new networks incorporating SIP/IMS architectures and innovative multi-media solutions (streaming media, fixed mobile convergence, transparent networking).

The telecom solutions offered through this relationship recognize that various telecommunications protocols are required to deliver call control functions, messaging, location and presence. The solutions are designed to be NEP agnostic giving carriers the widest selection of relationships they require. And the programming interfaces available with the combined Sun and Aepona solutions mean that carriers can create, test and deploy new services in weeks.

Convergence is a challenge for any operator. Whether it is rationalizing networks due to mergers and acquisitions, consolidating telecom services onto higher performance server environment for significant data center cost reductions, or introducing a new service each month that will span both legacy and new networks, Sun and Aepona have experience, technology and skills and a track record of success.

With dozens of deployments worldwide, Sun and Aepona have deployed centralized and distributed Service Delivery Platform environments, crossing geographic boundaries, and optimizing telecommunications costs and generating significant new revenue streams. We've deployed into wireless, wireline, legacy and SIP/IMS networks, and the platforms are supporting tens of millions of subscribers in some of the largest carriers in the world.
