We will show how our solutions equip service providers to plan and manage their networks more efficiently, reduce network congestion and decrease costs.”

GENBAND Comptel booth highlights:

• Demonstrating its ability to improve the way people conduct business and collaborate, GENBAND will showcase a variety of solutions from its A-Series™ Application Portfolio, including an integrated web-based UC collaboration application that allows users to instantly shift from conference calls to full, rich-media web collaboration. For example, a conference call host can quickly initiate a group collaboration session and enable their team the ability to view and collaborate on a document over the web without having to schedule a web meeting service. The application also enables public and private chat, interactive whiteboards, poll surveys and synchronized web browsing.
• GENBAND subject matter experts will be on hand to discuss the Company’s leading-edge traffic and policy management solutions enabled by the GENBAND P Series™ product family. Visitors to the booth will see GENBAND’s LiveView™ traffic management client, which allows service providers and enterprises to more accurately track and understand network usage and traffic patterns so that they can perform more proactive and intelligent network planning and traffic management.
• GENBAND’s booth will also feature the S-Series™ Session Border Controllers and security product family and a presentation of GENBAND’s Real-time Session Management System™ (RSM), which provides centralized and remote access to control multiple S3™ Session Border Controllers. With the RSM, service providers can significantly reduce network costs and improve network efficiencies through better management and routing of high-bandwidth VoIP and multimedia services, such as video.
