Award-winning Provisioning Technology Delivers Superior Scalability, Reliability and Performance for Converged IP Services
Ottawa, ON - February 25, 2008 - Atreus Systems(TM), the leading supplier of provisioning solutions for converged IP services, announced today that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has approved the issuance of two patents: Patent No. 7,024,470 which covers methods for setting up user self-activating network-based services; and Patent No. 7,134,013 which covers methods for setting up network-based services.
The patent strengthens Atreus' intellectual property portfolio and provides the company with ownership of key innovations that address powerful new capabilities designed to meet the stringent performance and scalability requirements of the world's largest carriers. The issued U.S. patent titled, "Systems and Method for Setting Up User Self-Activating Network-based Services" and "Policy Distribution Point for Setting Up Network-based Services", builds on Atreus' unique provisioning and activation solution, which empowers service providers to streamline the complex processes required to provision any subscriber-based IP service-from Hosted PBX and Unified Messaging to fixed-mobile convergence (FMC) and collaborative business applications.
