Nortel (News - Alert) has been selected by Telmex, Mexico’s leading telco company in Mexico, to provide hosted IP telephony and multimedia services for a hosted IP PBX
offering to medium and large enterprises nationwide.
Under an agreement, Nortel will supply a complete, end-to-end IP
services solution from its Nortel Global Services portfolio using its network equipment.
“This defines a new services delivery model for secure communications, reliable infrastructure and advanced applications in Mexico’s corporate market,” said Pablo Vázquez, chief executive for Nortel in Mexico and Latin America, in a statement. “This model is technology agnostic, leveraging a broad spectrum of advanced, vertical applications while helping to protect customer technology investments.”
Telmex hosted IP PBX (News - Alert) allows enterprises to benefit from unified communications, audio and video conferencing, collaboration tools, mobility applications and other productivity-enhancing services without the expense of installing, operating and maintaining a network.
The solution is based on Nortel’s Communication Server 2000, an IMS-ready, carrier-grade superclass softswitch that supports a wide range of voice and multimedia business features based on the open, industry-standard SIP
multimedia protocol.
