Business VoIP

U4EA Technologies announced that Nuvio (News - Alert) has standardized on the company’s Fusion series of Multi-service Business Gateways (MSBGs). They will be used in conjunction with Nuvio’s cloud computing platform for delivering hosted VoIP and SIP trunking services to small and medium businesses. 

Fusion MSBGs combine the functions of a router, switch, firewall/NAT, IPSec/VPN, IDS, session controller, bandwidth manager, and VoIP Gateway (News - Alert) in a single, compact device. 

In addition, U4EA’s QoS mechanism (GoSTM) is embedded. GoS supports multiple real-time applications and U4EA (News - Alert) states that it is the only QoS technology that was specifically designed to support Unified Communications applications.

Nuvio’s decision was taken after conducting tests that validated Fusion’s ability to assure the quality of delivery of multiple real time hosted applications over the Internet.  The MSBGs are deployed as LAN/WAN edge devices that apply and enforce strict bandwidth management measures to ensure each application is guaranteed its required WAN bandwidth. GoS can effectively utilize up to 90 percent of the WAN bandwidth for real time applications, thereby saving money for the customer and service provider in addition to guaranteeing the quality.  

“With our cloud computing platform, we intend to be a premier provider of multiple hosted services to our small and medium business customers,” said Jason Talley (News - Alert), CEO of Nuvio. “We selected the Fusion series, due in large part to its unique QoS which performed as advertised, allowing us to guarantee the quality of our mix of hosted services, VoIP, SIP trunking and future services like video and collaboration.”
