Wisconsin's Merrimac Deploys sentitO's Softswitch

Wisconsin-based Merrimac Communications, a rural ISP and CATV provider, is deploying sentitO Network's New End Office (NEO), an IP-based replacement Class 5 switch. The deployment will expand Merrimac's current capabilities to include functioning as a CLEC. The new bundled services include voice, DSL and long distance services. sentitO's NEO Services Switch (NSS) directly terminates V.92 dial-up modem traffic, thereby eliminating the need for external RAS equipment. The softswitch is designed for VoIP and SIP services, and provides GR-303, Inter-Machine Trunk (IMT), Primary Rate Interface (PRI), and Channel Associated Signaling (CAS) interfaces. Financial terms were not disclosed.
