SAN DIEGO – August 2, 2010 – Continuous Computing, the global provider of integrated platform solutions that address the mobile broadband capacity challenge, today announced that Sangoma Technologies Inc. (TSX VENTURE: STC), has selected its Trillium Signaling System 7 (SS7) and Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) protocol software to support the company’s Media Gateway offerings. Continuous Computing’s Trillium protocol software is the industry’s gold standard – providing a growing number of customers, including Sangoma, with the capabilities necessary to quickly deliver carrier-grade Media Gateways. According to VDC Research Group, SS7 and ISDN represents a multi-billion dollar market opportunity for network equipment providers fueled by operator need for service continuity, expansion of Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) wireless capacity, and the substantial Value Added Services (VAS) market.

Sangoma designs voice and data connectivity components for software-based communication applications. The company’s product line represents a comprehensive toolset for deploying cost-effective, powerful and flexible software communication applications. Sangoma’s data cards, voice cards, gateways and connectivity software are used in leading Enterprise- and Carrier-based applications in more than 150 countries worldwide.

“Despite a diverse ecosystem of potential suppliers for SS7 and ISDN signaling stacks, we selected Continuous Computing’s Trillium protocol software because it is the leading implementation in the market. In fact, Trillium software has allowed us to bring our new carrier-grade solutions to market in less than six months,” said Nenad Corbic, chief software engineer at Sangoma. “Time to market is critical and Trillium allowed us to quickly address very promising market opportunities.”

Trillium SS7 and ISDN software protocols deliver tremendous value including:

  • Brand Reputation – The industry-trusted Trillium brand gives network equipment providers a strong market advantage
  • High-Availability – Trillium software’s patented Distributed Fault-Tolerant / High Availability (DFT/HA) framework delivers a highly-reliable, carrier-grade system solution
  • Internationalization – Diverse international variant support dramatically expands Trillium customers’ target market opportunities
  • Deployment-Proven and Interoperability Tested – Trillium software is broadly deployed by nearly every major Tier 1 network equipment provider

“Trillium ‘pioneered’ portable protocol software for SS7 and ISDN signaling implementations and we have continued to build on that early leadership position,” said Manish Singh, vice president of product line management for Continuous Computing. “We are delighted to count Sangoma as a key customer for our Trillium SS7 and ISDN product lines.”

SS7 is a suite of global telecommunications protocol standards that define how network elements within the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) exchange information for setting up, managing and tearing down calls on wireline and wireless networks. Continuous Computing’s Trillium SS7 and ISDN protocol software enhances and extends the signaling capabilities of next-generation telecommunications network devices by enabling superior availability, performance and scalability.
