VoIP Switching Systems Provider Cedar Point Communications Appoints Chris Zanyk as Managing Director, Latin America

By Cindy Waxer, TMCnet Contributing Editor


Cedar Point Communications (News - Alert) has started off the New Year with a brand new appointment.

The company, which specializes in integrated VoIP switching technologies for the cable and telecommunications industries, announced today that Chris Zanyk has been named as managing director, Latin America.

Zanyk joins Cedar Point after 10 years with Nortel (News - Alert) in Latin America. His new responsibilities include working with the company’s significant customer base in the Latin American market, and working closely with the company’s sales and support partners to develop new customers for the company’s SAFARI C(Cubed) Multimedia Switching System.

“Latin American cable operators have been among the earliest and most enthusiastic to embrace the simplicity, cost-effectiveness and scalability of SAFARI C(Cubed),” said Andy Paff, president and CEO of Cedar Point Communications, in a press release. “As the market has grown, it has become increasingly important that we have someone of Chris Zanyk’s caliber to manage our activities, and to address the needs of our customers and our partners.”

The Latin American market is nothing new for Zanyk. Most recently country manager for Nortel Chile, Zanyk served in a broad range of capacities over the past four years in overseeing Nortel’s operations in Chile and Bolivia. Previously, he had been a senior account manager for the company, servicing the Bellsouth Chile account.

Zanyk began his career in 1996 as a sale executive for Latin America with Nortel CALA. He holds a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree, as well as a master’s in international business, from the University of Miami.

Cedar Point’s SAFARI C(Cubed) Multimedia Switching System is an integrated carrier class VoIP switch that incorporates all of the components that make up the voice switching infrastructure, builds value in the network by providing SIP-based features and seamless evolution to an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) architecture. SAFARI C(Cubed) is PacketCable-qualified and future-architected to fit within an IMS core network infrastructure, allowing network operators to leverage their initial equipment investment in voice as they introduce such services as video telephony and fixed-mobile applications. New applications can be integrated into SAFARI C(Cubed), or can be accessed via third-party application servers.

Latin America isn’t the only place Cedar Point is making an international mark. In December, the company teamed up with VOO, a provider of communications services in Belgium, for the deployment of its SAFARI C³ Multimedia Switching System.

Under the agreement, VOO, a joint venture of Brutele and ALE Teledis, will utilize the integrated SAFARI C³ system to deliver competitive residential and business telephone services to their existing 700,000 CATV and Internet customers in Brussels and the Wallonia region. B.A.S.E. Technologies, a Cedar Point reseller and support partner for the European market, assisted Cedar Point in the completion of the agreement.
