RICHARDSON, Texas -- Aug. 3, 2004 -- Inet Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq:INET), a leading global provider of communications software solutions that enable carriers to more strategically and profitably operate their businesses, today announced that it has received formal acceptance from a major U.S.-based telecommunications carrier for its GeoProbe(TM) IP network surveillance solution.
The deployment of GeoProbe IP provides the carrier a means to effectively manage the performance of its global converged voice network, and the ability to troubleshoot service-affecting issues across both its legacy and IP infrastructures.
"Our VoIP and mobile data solutions enable leading carriers to deliver high quality, end-to-end service for all customers," said Elie Akilian, president and chief executive officer of Inet. "The selection and deployment of our VoIP solution further validates our focus and leadership in this important emerging market."
The carrier selected Inet's GeoProbe VoIP monitoring solution following an extensive evaluation of multiple vendors in late 2003.
"Carriers are moving aggressively towards hosting multiple services over a converged IP network," said Doug Dickerson, vice president of Unified Assurance solutions of Inet. "In this environment, services must contend for network resources in real time. Our GeoProbe system's ability to track a service end to end offers carriers a way to ensure quality and provides a more effective drill-down path for resolving network issues."
