Redline and Alianza Offer Hosted Voice over WiMAX Solution

Alianza, a provider of hosted voice over WiMAX solutions, and Redline Communications Group, a provider of WiMAX and broadband wireless infrastructure products, today announced that the companies have validated interoperability of products and services to accelerate voice offerings to WiMAX service providers.

Alianza and Redline tested Alianza’s hosted voice platform with Redline’s WiMAX Forum Certified RedMAX systems as part of the Redline Ecosystem Verification (REV) program. The REV program verifies connectivity and performance between Redline's RedMAX and RedMAX 4C Mobile WiMAX products and other WiMAX devices, enabling carriers to accelerate the deployment of interoperable networks. The program also includes Redline's RedCONNEX and RedACCESS families, which are used by carriers around the world to support high-bandwidth voice, video and data services. Several WiMAX equipment companies, including base station, customer premise equipment and chip manufacturers, as well as WiMAX peripherals vendors, are now taking part in the REV program.

Alianza’s fully integrated hosted voice platform is specifically designed for WiMAX service providers. Alianza's platform is a robust, multi-functional and highly scalable solution that offers service providers the fastest, simplest and most economical way to provide advanced telephony services to their residential or business customers. It allows WiMAX service providers to focus on generating revenue instead of managing the expense and operational details of building a voice solution.

"We are pleased to partner with Redline, who is a leader in establishing WiMAX networks throughout the world," said Brian Beutler, Alianza CEO. "We look forward to working closely with them to expand globally and provide superior quality voice services with simple, plug and play implementation."

"Service providers deploying full-service WiMAX networks can leverage Alianza’s easy to install voice platform to add voice services to their networks at lower costs than what’s currently offered by proprietary vendors," said Kevin Suitor, vice president of marketing and business development, Redline Communications. "High quality voice services based on open standards are an important element in the roll-out of successful Mobile WiMAX networks. The combination of Redline’s WiMAX technology and deployment expertise and Alianza’s voice-over WiMAX platform will benefit the operators’ business model."
