SAN JOSE, CA -- November 27, 2007 -- Veraz Networks, Inc., (NASDAQ: VRAZ), a leading global provider of IP softswitch and media gateway solutions, today announced that ONEMAX, an innovative broadband wireless provider, has officially launched its WiMAX 802.16e network in the Dominican Republic on October 24, 2007. This marks the first IMS over mobile WiMAX deployment in the Americas. ONEMAX is using Veraz's award-winning IMS over WiMAX solution, which includes the Veraz User Services Core(TM) (USC), ControlSwitch(TM) and I-Gate 4000(TM) series of media gateways to deliver services in a multi-vendor environment.
ONEMAX is now offering Internet, multimedia and VoIP services over mobile broadband. At the recent ribbon-cutting ceremony for the network launch, the carrier demonstrated video telephony, high-definition streaming video, mobile broadband Internet access and VoIP services.
Through its modular, programmable, and distributed architecture, Veraz's solution provides ONEMAX with the flexibility to use the latest technology to provide advanced mobile, VoIP, data and multimedia services.
