Network Equipment Technologies Supports Jordan Ahli Bank's Goal to Enhance Communications
FREMONT, CA, Apr 18, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Network Equipment Technologies, Inc. ("NET") (NASDAQ: NWK), a
leading provider of enterprise-class networking solutions optimized
for secure real-time communications in unified communications (UC),
SIP Trunking and enterprise mobility, today announced that Ahli Bank,
a Jordan-based, publicly held financial institution serving the
banking needs of both commercial entities and individuals, is
successfully deploying NET's VX Series as the organization's
strategic IP telephony solution to modernize communication and to
gain cost efficiencies while expanding unified communications (UC)
capabilities throughout the organization.
NET supported Ahli Bank's initial deployment of enterprise voice
capabilities to approximately 250 users, and expects to expand to its
other branches. Operating as a media gateway, NET's equipment allowed
Ahli Bank to fully integrate the solution with its existing PBX
environment, thus keeping costs and service disruption to a minimum.
In addition to equipment, NET provided local technical expertise.
"NET has provided us with an IP telephony solution that enabled us to
rapidly establish unified communications throughout several branch
locations," said Mr Samer Abu Zayed, Head of IT\EPD group for Jordan
Ahli Bank. "We were quite pleased with the ease of integration with
our existing equipment, which enabled us to keep the cost of
migration to a minimum and protect our current investment. We expect
to continue adding more locations and expanding the benefits of UC
throughout our organization. NET's local presence, guidance and
technical knowledge during the implementation were superior," said Mr
Yousef Kanan, Unified Communication Project Manager for Jordan Ahli
Bank.
"NET's ability to rapidly integrate with a customer's existing
infrastructure is one of the primary benefits that distinguish us,"
said Nauman Afsar, Regional Sales Director for NET. "For Jordan Ahli
Bank, our valuable local resources as well as the global UC expertise
of NET's international team enabled the company to rapidly deploy an
IP telephony network, as well as upgrade their existing equipment
with minimal risk and disruption for customers."
NET's VX Series and UX Series platforms are fully integrated
multi-service voice switches that provide high-performance VoIP
communications for enterprise deployments. Both platforms
interoperate with all leading PBX and IP-PBX vendor protocols,
offering rapid deployment and easy installation, with minimal
maintenance.
NET teamed with PAIS, a professional services company serving the
Jordanian market, using NET's VX Series to deliver integration
between Ahli Bank's existing PBX equipment and its Microsoft Office
Lync Server environment.
"NET has been leading the way with the development of networking
equipment tailored for unified communications solutions. Their
products are enabling enterprises to deploy software powered voice
with more interoperability and collaboration," said Wajeeh Mesherky,
Managing Director at PAIS. "NET's VX Series delivers high
availability with exceptional voice quality and was able to meet all
of our technical requirements. In addition, NET provided exceptional
training and other critical resources for a successful deployment. We
see NET as a partner that is at the forefront of the UC movement."
