Sylantro gets win in Motorola WiMax deployment
LAS VEGAS -- Motorola is using Sylantro's VoIP application feature server products in its new WiMax national service network in Pakistan, according to a Moto exec here at the Sylantro Global Summit.
During his talk Tuesday morning, Michael Krutz, VP of Moto's core networks division, told the crowd here that the systems-integration arm of Motorola wants to work with "best of breed" suppliers when it builds networks, and said that Sylantro had such an offering at the feature server level.
As is often the case with Sylantro deals, there's no public press release announcing the win (since the service providers are sometimes loath to reveal where they're getting technology from) but it is another vote of confidence for the software found in several big VoIP deployments, including those from Microsoft, Covad and AT&T.
Krutz said Tuesday that Motorola isn't like some other service providers who might have an "only built here" mentality when it comes to building big networks.
"I know some operators want to control [everything] themself, but I don't think that's the answer," Krutz said. "We want to partner with others who are the best in breed."
