COQUITLAM, British Columbia,
March 31 /PRNewswire/ -- Global
communications software company PortaOne, Inc. today announced that
Cordia Corporation ("Cordia") (Pink Sheets: CORG), an international
provider of traditional CLEC and VoIP technologies, has deployed
PortaOne's PortaSwitch Procinctus platform in Brazil and the
United States, with future plans for deployment in
India. Through its two
regional installations of PortaSwitch Procinctus, PortaOne's
ultimate, high-capacity telecom services and subscriber management
product, Cordia is able to support an exhaustive menu of IP
telephony services, lowering costs and ensuring reliable Class 5
operation for its business customers in multiple markets.
Through its subsidiaries, Cordia provides traditional wireline
and VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) calling services to
business and residential customers in Australia, Brazil, Hong
Kong, India, Latin America, the
Philippines, and the United
States. The Winter Garden,
Florida-based global communications company also offers
shared and dedicated DSL, international phone numbers, and
wholesale telephony services. Cordia's VoIP and international
phone number services are some of the most extensive in the market
today, with customers in over 45 countries around the world.
Cordia originally selected PortaOne nearly three years ago when
it was seeking to upgrade its hosted IP services. "Our
experience with PortaSwitch Procinctus has been very positive.
The platform has the capacity, redundancy and complete
feature set Cordia needed to aggressively expand its hosted VoIP
business offerings," said Kevin
Griffo, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cordia
Corporation. "We have used PortaSwitch Procinctus to help
build our IP business on a global scale, and plan on future
deployment as we continue expanding our global footprint."
PortaSwitch Procinctus is comprised of three main components:
PortaBilling100 Advanced, enabling high-volume carriers to price,
launch and provision their VoIP services; PortaSIP, a highly
scalable SIP softswitch; and PortaUM, a unified messaging platform
and a media server application that handles voice mail, fax, and
regular e-mail messages. Designed with a distributed
architecture for high performance, Procinctus offers simultaneous
multiprocessing (SMP) technology to increase billing engine
capacity, as well as built-in redundancy and load balancing to
ensure reliable operation even under periods of peak demand.
With PortaSwitch Procinctus, Cordia was able to achieve a total
PBX feature set including Call Forwarding
(Busy/No-Answer/Unconditional); Call Hunting; Call Forking (ringing
multiple devices simultaneously); Pre-Paid Service; Voicemail
(Dial-In/Email Notification); Selective Call Blocking; Selective
Call Dialing: Caller ID; Call Waiting; Group Calling (dialing
extension numbers masked in groups); Call Detail Record Output; and
UA/ATA/IAD/Soft Phone compatibility.
Cordia's initial purchase was for PortaOne's primary PortaSwitch
platform. Soon after, Cordia added several secondary PortaSIP
servers to enhance redundancy and increase capacity, and a staging
system for internal development and testing. Its adoption of
PortaSwitch Procinctus involved two installs in the past year.
Today, the provider operates a total of four PortaSwitch
systems: PortaSwitch with extra PortaSIP servers in the U.S.; a
U.S.-based staging PortaSwitch install; and separate PortaSwitch
Procinctus systems in Brazil and
India.
"The source code which comes as a part of all PortaSwitch
licenses makes it easy for Cordia to create and verify its own
products in-house, shortening time-to-market for new services and
saving the cost of outside development," said Roman Khalenkov,
PortaOne Sales and Marketing Director. "By deploying
PortaSwitch Procinctus—the ultimate combination of PortaSwitch
products and technologies—Cordia is able to stay ahead of its
competition and give its customers a world-class quality of
service."
