IP Telephony Start-Up MyFone Builds Network From Scratch In Weeks—Page 2elements. Comprised of the ENTICE softswitch and ENTICE session controller, the platform alsoincorporates ELICIT (Emergent Local Integrated Carrier Internet Telephony), a feature package thatdelivers a wide range of local and enhanced services including voicemail, call forwarding/transfer/waiting, caller ID, 3-way calling, unified messaging, conferencing and much more.“Because ENTICE is a technology-agnostic platform, it supports all major IP vendors includingCisco, Grandstream, Azatel, Sipura, SNOM, Audiocodes, and NetComm,” notes Sugo. “This makes iteasier for MyFone or its customers to find and obtain the best, most available endpoint products.ENTICE gives users competitive advantages even beyond deployment.”“Quality in the telecom field is more than just voice quality. It’s the end-to-end experience—from the customer picking up the phone, dialing the digits, and talking, to hanging up the phone,” addedWendy Liew, MyFone’s Vice President/Group Marketing and Carriers Relationships. “Our customershave to feel that the experience is so ‘normal’ that it’s no different from a traditional service. In fact, wewant them to ‘forget’ the service is there.”In addition to installing the ENTICE platform, Symbio established MyFone’s co-location service,set up the billing system, arranged carrier interconnect services and integrated routers, firewalls andgateways to complete a total turnkey system. The final solution was less expensive than comparablesolutions from other major suppliers.“Symbio’s ENTICE network has allowed us to deploy a very cost-effective network whilstproviding all the key features and functionality required of a next generation product,” explainedMyFone’s Leung. “By identifying a technology partner like Symbio, we can focus on marketing andsales while Symbio takes care of all matters relating to the infrastructure. We are confident that Symbioand ENTICE will be able to help us achieve our expansion plans.”About Emergent Network Solutions, Inc.:Emergent Network Solutions (ENS) is a leading provider of advanced telecommunications software forthe emerging communications networks.
