Channel Partners: ILD Chooses ThinkEngine Gear

ILD Telecommunications Inc.’s ROLLCALL Business Conferencing division (Booth 1320) will deploy ThinkEngine Networks VSR1000 Media Server to support growth and establish a long-term migration path from TDM to IP conference calling.

“Our business is growing and we knew we needed greater port capacity, and at the same time we believe that the shift from TDM to IP would soon be upon us,” said Fred Lloyd, senior vice president of strategic planning of ILD and head of the ROLLCALL Conferencing division, which uses the channel to distribute its services. “For obvious reasons the platform we decided on also had to have outstanding reliability as well as an established reputation within the conferencing marketplace. ThinkEngine Networks’ VSR1000 became the obvious choice for us because of their focus on the service provider market, their TDM/IP gateway, and, finally, their outstanding value in terms of cost per port.”

The VSR1000 includes both TDM and IP interfaces as standard equipment and is capable of processing 968 simultaneous sessions in a compact 1U platform.
