MONROEVILLE, Pa., Nov. 28 -- Compunetix today announced that the CONTEX Summit(TM) Media Processor has fully completed testing for the Sonus Interoperability Certification Program at the University of New Hampshire InterOperability Lab (UNH-IOL). This testing, designed to encourage successful interoperability in multi-vendor SIP and VoIP networks, is conducted by the UNH-IOL Consortium, a vendor-neutral testing environment dedicated to promoting network device compatibility with a strong focus on quality assurance. Compunetix, the world leader in audio conferencing media processors, is excited to have the CONTEX Summit platform designated and certified as interoperable with Sonus Networks' equipment. The CONTEX Summit system is the collaboration service industry's premier platform for VoIP and PSTN audio and data conferencing.

Compunetix customers can be confident that the solution has completed rigorous testing in a vendor independent third-party setting at the University of New Hampshire.
