Cedar Point (News - Alert) Communications will demonstrate how its SAFARI C³ Multimedia Switching System can enable college and university telecommunications networks to simply and cost-effectively migrate to VoIP

services at a major industry conference next week.

At the ACUTA Annual Conference & Exhibition for Communications Technology Professionals in Higher Education, the company will show how SAFARI C³ delivers a full suite of Class 5, IP and PBX

services over existing TDM networks and via SIP-based protocols.

“Campus telecommunications professionals recognize the value of moving to VoIP, but also understand the need to do so in a way that does not disrupt existing services,” said George Kassas, founder and executive vice president, business development for Cedar Point Communications in a statement.

“SAFARI C³ uniquely offers network administrators the ability to engage in a gradual rollout of carrier-class VoIP as capital budgets and service needs allow, as well as the flexibility to move to advanced IP

services in the future,” he added.

SAFARI C³ can handle circuit and packet voice services simultaneously in one unit. This enables university IT departments to migrate from legacy voice to VoIP in a logical, coordinated manner.

The solution is already deployed or in trials at many universities and government facilities. SAFARI C³ features a fully integrated architecture that eliminates server farms, interoperability and complexity and claims to reduce operating expenditures by up to 80 percent.

Since SAFARI C³ has been forward architected with an 80 Gbps routing

switch fabric that is 5% utilized on a 100,000 line system, it ensures headroom for future service offerings. Additionally, the switch is fully optimized for campus needs, including such subscriber features as Three-Way Calling; Do Not Disturb; Wake-Up Services.
