LG-Ericsson (News - Alert) USA has announced its iPECS IP communications products have performed well in SIP trunking interoperability testing with babyTEL, a Montreal-based provider of home phone, business phone and mobile phone services.

Following the interoperability testing, the IP communications products have been added to babyTEL's portfolio of communications products.

"IP networking is being leveraged more and more to deliver economical broad-spectrum communications, so testing like this is critical," said Iain Kenney (News - Alert), LG-Ericsson USA's director of product marketing, in a statement. "babyTEL's testing showed that our iPECS-LIK pure IP communications solutions with LG-Ericsson's flexible and comprehensive communications software can be relied upon for business critical communication."

The integration will help babyTEL take advantage of the integrated SIP Proxy Server on their Call Servers. It will enable SIP functionality seamlessly and without any trunking licenses or additional expense.

"We have high standards for our SIP trunking solutions," said Khaled Tewfik (News - Alert), babyTEL vice president of Technology, in a statement. "The goal is to provide our customers flexibility, efficiency and reliability, while lowering their overall costs. LG-Ericsson's iPECS-LIK communications solutions worked flawlessly in our testing, and we are confident that they deliver on that promise to customers.

The SIP Proxy server is fully integrated and enables simplicity to drive the total cost of ownership lower while enhancing performance and taking advantage of SIP's greatest features. There are no trunking licenses or additional expenses.

LG-Ericsson's iPECS has included T.38 functionality at no additional cost or licensing fee. The integrated T.38 adds faxing to SIP, offering an end-to-end fax fax origination and termination without the need of deploying POTS lines or allocating DIDs on a PRI.

 LG-Ericsson USA is a joint venture between LG-Ericsson and Accton Technology (News - Alert).

Earlier in February LG-Ericsson USA announced that the company's IP communications products have performed outstandingly well in SIP-trunking interoperability tests performed by 3NG Networks in conjunction with LG-Ericsson USA.
