Newport Networks Sesson Border Controller



About Newport Networks Limited

The market for IP based multimedia communications is expanding rapidly with analysts estimating that over 130 million people will be regularly using VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) by 2009. This migration is driven by the huge cost advantages that IP networks deliver by comparison to the existing systems deployed today.

"The communications industry is undergoing a profound transformation as it transitions to unified, IP-based networks capable of delivering a host of integrated services. To manage this evolution, customers need a partner with the resources to provide new service platforms and product sets, while maintaining world-class reliability and security"

Edward E. Whitacre Jr., SBC chairman and chief executive officer.

Those cost advantages enable service providers using all IP based networks to deliver new services such as enterprise conferencing, video telephony and rich presence extremely quickly and cost effectively. IP based networks are also providing the convergence point for fixed and mobile services to enhance the communications experience for the end user.

Newport Networks Limited provides a vital element in these new IP based networks. Newport Networks Limited (a wholly owned subsidiary of Newport Networks Group PLC) was founded in September 2000 by Terry Matthews, Chairman, and John Everard, CEO both of whom have a proven record of building successful companies in the telecommunications market.
