AudioCodes' Full Suite of Solutions for Microsoft Lync Selected by Business Connexion
GlobeNewswire
2012-07-25

   South African System Integrator Selected AudioCodes to Enable
    Flexible and Reliable Voice Connectivity for Its Multi-Site
                          Lync Deployment

LOD, Israel, July 25, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AudioCodes
(Nasdaq:AUDC), a Microsoft Gold Certified partner and a leading
provider of Voice over IP (VoIP) technologies, products and services,
today announced that it has deployed its products at Business Connexion
(BCX), a leading integrator of innovative business solutions based on
information and communications technology (ICT). A range of AudioCodes
products, including Media Gateways, Enterprise Session Border
Controllers (E-SBC), Survivable Branch Appliances (SBA) and IP Phones,
were selected by BCX to provide voice connectivity for its new
Microsoft Lync unified communications infrastructure at its offices in
South Africa and throughout the Sub-Saharan region.

At its head office in Gauteng, South Africa, BCX deployed the Mediant
3000 media gateway configured with E1 interfaces for connection with
the PSTN and legacy call center PBX equipment. The Mediant 3000 is a
high-capacity and high-availability platform, which also acts as an
E-SBC, providing secure and reliable interconnectivity with BCX's local
least cost routing provider. In addition, more than one thousand BCX
employees are now equipped with AudioCodes high definition HD320 IP
Phones. Similarly, BCX's regional offices will be equipped with
AudioCodes IP Phones and Mediant 1000 or 2000 SBAs, providing flexible
connectivity with the local PSTN.

"As part of our company-wide deployment of Lync as our Unified
Communications platform, we selected AudioCodes' suite of solutions for
enabling voice connectivity," said Jacques Loubser, CIO at BCX. "With
AudioCodes, we were able to acquire gateways, SBCs, SBAs and IP Phones
from a single vendor, resulting in lower cost of ownership."

Commenting on the project, Nimrod Borovsky, VP Marketing at AudioCodes,
said, "Lync adoption is picking up rapidly among mid-sized companies
that are able to migrate their entire infrastructure within a short
time frame into full Lync networks. Since Business Connexion is a
Microsoft Lync integrator itself, the company's internal multi-national
implementation will serve as a nice reference deployment for its
customers."
