Ascom Wireless Solutions and Cisco Systems Extend Interoperability


GOTHENBURG, Sweden, May 26 /PRNewswire/ --

- Enables Operability Across a Wider Range of Systems

Ascom Wireless Solutions announces today that the Ascom IP-DECT System is
approved as a Solutions Incentive Program (SIP) Verified solution with the 
Cisco Unified Communication Manager. This strengthens Ascom's and Cisco's 
cooperation and assures wider interoperability of their mutual systems.

Ascom's IP-DECT System became SIP Verified with Cisco Unified
Communication Manager, version 6.1 (CUCM v6.1) in April 2008. The SIP
testing, which demands a 100% pass rate, took place at tekVizion Labs - a
third-party testing house in Texas, USA. This SIP verification means that
CUCM 6.1 users can now integrate Ascom's IP-DECT System and scale it to their
user base - from 10 to 100,000.

Staffan Ãrnbratt, Senior Marketing Manager at Ascom Wireless Solutions
explains: "This SIP verification is a reciprocal guarantee that our IP-DECT
system functions with Cisco CUCM v6.1. This gives the CUCM v6.1 user the
ability to not only integrate IP-DECT functionality but also to scale it to
match their DECT needs now and in the future."

Furthermore, Cisco has approved Ascom Wireless Solutions as a partner
within the Cisco Industry Solutions Partner Network (ISPN) Manufacturing
Program. Ascom is already a member in Cisco's ISPN Healthcare program. These
Cisco Solution Partnerships synergise Ascom and Cisco in their expertise to
create industry-specific networking solutions.

"With these partnerships, we can give our customers a whole that is
greater than the sum of its parts," says Ãrnbratt. "Synergising Cisco network
applications with Ascom's professional messaging portfolio lets us pinpoint a
broad technological solution to a specific industry need. Collaborations like
this will be increasingly important in the future."

In addition to the recent SIP verification and ISPN membership, Ascom's
Unite is a Cisco Technology Development Partner (CTDP) and Ascom i75 VoWiFi
handset is SIP Verified and verified as a Cisco Compatible eXtension (CCX).
These additional programs help Ascom to grow its interoperability on
the world communication stage. With each new verification and each new
membership in a Cisco ISPN, Ascom makes it easier for customers to gain
operability across a wider range of systems.
