- Enables Operability Across a Wider Range of 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 Örnbratt, 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 Örnbratt. "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.
