Mavenir Systems and GENBAND Collaborate on Innovative Network Convergence Solutions

RICHARDSON, Texas & LAS VEGAS--(Business Wire)--
Mavenir Systems, an innovator in service delivery network
technology, and GENBAND Inc., a market-leading developer of
next-generation IP gateways and application solutions, today announced
they are collaborating on joint convergence solutions to assist
operators to rapidly deploy new multimedia services over all devices
and offer next generation services utilizing existing legacy
infrastructure.

Tier one operators in North America and EMEA, in various stages of
trials and acceptance, are currently utilizing the technology to offer
any service to any device. A variety of applications are being
utilized, including VoIP services provided directly from an existing
2G/3G core for primary and secondary line service. The technology is
also providing operators with intelligent interworking for femtocell
gateways and multiple domains. As a result, operators improve the user
experience, allowing consumers to benefit from presence notification
within the home's femto zone, single number portability, mobility
across mobile and fixed devices, and control over their reachability.

"GENBAND and Mavenir share an objective to provide our customers
with next-generation solutions that enable them to offer personalized
services and extend mobile communities to any device, resulting in
increased revenue potential," said Pardeep Kohli, President and CEO
for Mavenir Systems. "With GENBAND's technology, we're able to
leverage our innovation and provide operators with a flexible,
scalable solution."

"Mavenir utilizes our media gateways for a practical solution that
serves as the building block for operators to quickly introduce
advanced convergence services and implement next generation network
migration," said Charles Vogt, President and CEO at GENBAND. "In
collaborating, we support market demand by combining best in class
technology, a new approach to IMS services, and emerging technologies
like femtocell and WiMAX in a proven solution."

Mavenir Systems offers innovative, pragmatic solutions for global
service providers to bridge IP-based service delivery architectures
with traditional mobile infrastructure through its mOne Intelligent
Convergence Engine. Mavenir incorporates GENBAND's G9 Converged Media
Gateway(TM) in mOne, allowing operators to utilize their legacy
network infrastructure to deliver IMS services directly to 2G and
3G-CS mobile devices and to offer innovative services to their
customers. Together, these solutions support the migration to fixed
mobile convergence networks, bridge next generation services to all
networks and ensure interoperability for WiMAX, femtocell and IP
multimedia subsystem (IMS) applications.

GENBAND's G9 converged media gateway is a true next-generation
platform that builds upon the company's first-generation system, the
8000 Media Gateway, field-hardened globally for seven years across
more than 27 million ports, making it a worldwide market-share leader.
The G9's support of secure IP, TDM, and ATM architectures makes the G9
platform ideal for operators transitioning gradually to IMS networks
without requiring the costly replacement of existing network
equipment.
