What
the Industry and Our Users Think
"Bundling
NComm's pre-tested and verified TMS modules with SBE's robust and
proven line of WAN interfaces results in a risk-free development
program as well as time and cost-effective product deployment for
our mutual customers," stated William B.
Heye, Jr. president and CEO of SBE. "Hardware vendors typically provide 'bare-bones' drivers
with their boards, thus leaving the burden of developing code for
alarming, signaling, and maintenance on OEM customers. The burden
is now lifted with SBE and NComm's joint solution of intelligent
WAN. The time and money that our customers were once spending on
making vendor drivers application-ready can be now be redirected
to their own core competencies," continued Heye.
"More and more companies are using off the shelf source code in time to market critical product development, "says Bill
Pennington, former Chief Technical Officer of Taqua Systems. "With
NComm TMS, we were able to integrate proven software which allowed
us to focus more resources on our own unique product differentiation."
"NComm's TMS software filled a DS3 requirement in our offering that I'd rather our engineers not have to deal with. But, we had to have it and it had to work well. NComm provided just what we needed." John
Webley, Founder, President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Turin
Networks, and Co-founder Advanced Fibre Communications (AFC)
"We could not develop this kind of software, with its proven reliability, for anywhere near the price that NComm delivered it.We might end up spending three times that before we had it completely operational." "When software such as NComm's meets the selection criteria of proven and bug free, an engineering manager would be crazy to build it in-house considering what NComm licenses the code for." Pete
Quigley Cedar Point, Senior Director of Software
"KS Telecom's innovation lies in telecommunications and voice processing, not transport protocols; but the need for a variety of complete and standard-compliant protocols is a critical requirement for our customers."
"We chose the NComm Stacks ISDN PRI software because we could bring the functionality to market quickly, and the company has a leadership position in developing WAN source code. We had ISDN PRI up and running on our platform quickly with the product and support provided by NComm." Kyle
Hollifield, CEO, KS Telecom
For Agere, working
with NComm has produced benefits beyond being able to offer customers
a turnkey product, said Michael Wallace, product
manager for the Flexmap product line at Agere. "At some points, they help us with
the debugging of the device," Wallace
said.
"ADC's focus is in the delivery of broadband equipment platforms that enable high-speed Internet, data, video, and voice services. However, the requirement to have reliable, interoperable and fully functional WAN interfaces on our network platforms is critical to offering our customers a complete solution," said Mark
McDonald, vice president of product management at ADC. "The
NComm software allowed us to bring reliable, standards-based T1,
T3 and SONET functionality to market quickly. We had both technologies
up and running in a matter of days with the product and support provided
by NComm."
"Building a true carrier grade system requires robust wide area network interface implementations. Ncomm's proven TMS platform enables Mangrove to deliver a highly reliable, fully functional and standards-based system that meets the exacting requirements of today's service providers," said Jonathan
Reeves, Mangrove Systems founder and CEO. "We
looked at a variety of software and only the NComm solution met our
requirements."
. "Dallas Semiconductor's best-in-class WAN framer products together with NComm's proven management software let them capitalize on that market opportunity by providing a complete solution for adding the T3, E3 or combined T3/E3 interfaces to voice and data platforms." Mike
Smith, Managing Director, Communications Business Unit of Dallas
Semiconductor
"Telica's innovation lies in media and signaling gateways and controlling those gateways, not necessarily in transmission technology. But, the need to have reliable, fully functional and standards-based SONET interfaces on the Plexus 9000 platform was important in offering a total solution to our customers," said Joe
Quinlivan, Telica's vice president of engineering. "We
chose the NComm software because we could bring the functionality
to market quickly, and the company had significant experience and
expertise in developing WAN source code. We had SONET up and running
in a matter of days with the product and support provided by NComm."
"Service providers, in pursuit of maximizing operational efficiencies, are demanding that their equipment vendors demonstrated flexibility in their platforms," said Christin
Flynn, Director of Communications Network Infrastructure for Boston-based
Yankee Group. "Metropolitan
area networks (MANs) are under particular scrutiny, requiring vendors
in this dynamic portion of the network to demonstrate the support
of a wide array of network interfaces. By focusing on the engineering
specialty of SONET interface software with this product, NComm brings
value and flexibility to its customers by eliminating engineering
risk, decreasing time to market, and enabling equipment vendors to
adapt to the changing needs of service providers in the MAN."
"Navini invites only best-in-class companies to join its Navini Neighborhood Program," said Sai
Subramanian, director of marketing and product line management at
Navini Networks. "NComm's
trunk management products are the best in the industry and we believe
this partnership will advance our WAN offerings."
"My primary objective was to get a high quality product to market in the fastest possible time and do it all at a low cost. We did a build or buy analysis and decided on NComm. NComm's DS3 Trunk Management Software allowed us, cost effectively, to become fully standards compliant on the network with no effort on our part while we focused our internal resources on critical, differentiating features and functionality", said Jim
Vercruyssen, Telect's
Product Marketing Manager. |
