INTERNET TELEPHONY has been the VoIP Authority Since 1998™. "The challenge for carriers in delivering quality intelligent data and voice services over an Ethernet-based network is ensuring they meet a performance level that enterprises are used to and demand," said Greg Galitzine, editorial director of INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine. "Carriers can conquer this challenge by gaining control at the network edge, and T-Marc is one of the first intelligent demarcation devices to market." T-Marc allows carriers to deploy more sophisticated metro Ethernet networks by providing a view of service delivery across the enterprise and carrier networks with a variety of infrastructure test functions, as well as performance and provision monitoring. Service providers are able to cut costs significantly because it greatly reduces the need for truck rolls. Additionally, T-Marc provides the lowest latency of any circuit emulation service (CES), which is particularly critical for cable providers. The product line provides an extensive Operation, Administration and Maintenance (OAM) tool kit along with QoS mechanisms, which enables carriers to minimize service calls, greatly reduce OPEX and CAPEX, and meet their Service Level Agreements. "With a close pulse on our customers, our foremost goal is to enable them to provide superior quality VoIP, IP, IPTV and other next-gen services over Ethernet," said Dave Lee, vice president of marketing and services for Telco Systems. "We're thrilled and honored that T-Marc has been named an INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine Product of the Year." "Each year INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine bestows its Product of the Year awards on companies that have demonstrated excellence in technological advancement and application refinements. Telco Systems has demonstrated to the editors of INTERNET TELEPHONY that its products or services are committed to quality and innovation while addressing the real needs in the marketplace," said Rich Tehrani, group publisher and editor-in-chief of INTERNET TELEPHONY. The Product of the Year Award winners for 2005 will be highlighted in the January and February 2006 issues of INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine.
