Digitcom Deploys Acme Packet to Enable New Hosted PBX and SIP Trunking Services

BEDFORD, MA, Nov 26 (Marketwire) --
Acme Packet(R) (NASDAQ: APKT), the leader in session delivery network
solutions, today announced that Digitcom, a leading business phone
systems and data networks reseller, has deployed Acme Packet's Net-Net(R)
Session Director to enable SureConnect by HostedPBX.ca, its new SIP
trunking and hosted PBX service offerings.

News Highlights:

-- The Acme Packet Net-Net Session Director session border controller
provides extensive protocol interoperability and interworking
functions that allowed Digitcom to accelerate time-to-market for
SureConnect by HostedPBX.ca by efficiently mediating between its Class
5 softswitch and its customer premise-based IP telephony offerings.
The solution enables Digitcom to offer distinctive features such as
direct dialing between hosted and premise-based extensions.

-- The Net-Net Session Director ensures high service availability and
VoIP quality by enforcing quality of service policies, re-routing
sessions around network or equipment failures, and protecting against
denial-of-service attacks and other service-impacting events.

-- Acme Packet's extensible, standards-based solution enables multiple
services -- including hosted PBX and SIP trunking services -- in a
single platform, with common administration.

-- Digitcom has been certified as an authorized reseller in the Acme
Packet Pinnacle Partner Program and will offer Acme Packet's Net-Net
Enterprise Session Director Server Edition (SE) and Virtual Machine
Edition (VME) enterprise session border controllers for SIP trunk
termination and unified communications integration functions. These
cost-effective solutions are ideal for Digitcom's small and midsize
enterprise customer base, enabling support for a wide range of
customer premise-based unified communications solutions, IP-PBXs, and
endpoints.

Digitcom Benefits:

-- Rapid time-to-market for secure and reliable hosted PBX and SIP
trunking services
-- Unified SBC product family supports service provider and enterprise
deployments
-- Session Director enables multiple services with low capital equipment
and operational expenditures
-- Enterprise Session Director provides support for diverse end-customer
environments
