NuVox rolls out secure, high quality business VoIP services using Acme Packet

Acme Packet®, the leader in session border control, and NuVox Communications, an integrated communications provider serving business customers in the southeastern and midwestern US, today announced that NuVox will deploy the Net-Net® session border controllers for its hosted business VoIP offering beginning in the second quarter of 2005. The Net-Net products are satisfying the security, service level agreement assurance, service reach and regulatory requirements that are imperative for the delivery of high quality, premium IP services, such as VoIP, to NuVox's business customers.

"With the addition of business VoIP to its growing spectrum of advanced services, NuVox has selected Acme Packet's Net-Net session border controllers to provide the functionality required for real-time IP communications such as voice, video and multimedia," said Andy Ory, CEO and co-founder, Acme Packet. "Over 41,000 business customers in sixteen states can now select a high-quality VoIP service offering from NuVox's communications package, and Acme Packet's session border controllers are one of the key enablers for this new, revenue generating service offering."

"Our customers have come to expect a high level of reliability and security from the NuVox services they receive, and using the Net-Net session border controllers from Acme Packet will help us continue on that same path as we launch our VoIP product this Spring," said Keith Coker, VP of Network Planning and Administration for NuVox Communications. "Our VoIP offering will allow us to offer more services to our existing enterprise customers, deliver tremendous appeal for new customers, and keep us in top position in our chosen markets."
