NEC UNIVERGE SV8500 Now Certified with Verizon IP Trunking Service Business customers can now enjoy cost and management benefits of NEC’s enterprise communications servers with IP Trunking service from Verizon in U.S. and Europe
IRVING, TX – May 19 and TOKYO – May 20, 2011 – NEC Corporation (NEC; TSE: 6701), today announced that the UNIVERGE SV8500 Communications Servers are now certified with Verizon’s award-winning IP Trunking Service.
With NEC and Verizon, companies can now more easily manage their networks and control operating costs with centralized and decentralized designs using NEC IP PBX equipment and Verizon’s IP Trunking network features and enterprise reporting tools. NEC’s UNIVERGE SV8500 and Verizon IP Trunking, now available in the United States and a number countries in Europe, is an excellent fit for medium- and large-sized enterprises seeking to deploy advanced IP features, streamline network management and control operational costs.
In addition, by adding NEC’s unified communications (UC) applications enterprises and vertical businesses, such as healthcare, hospitality, education and government, can streamline processes and improve communications efficiency through enhanced collaboration and mobility.
"Verizon IP Trunking service provides direct SIP connectivity to the NEC IP PBX eliminating the need for expensive customer premises gateway equipment," said Tom Dalrymple, director of enterprise global voice services for Verizon. "The winning combination of the cost-effective, flexible NEC IP PBX with Verizon's advanced IP Trunking capabilities can create a powerful unified communications solution for our customers to improve collaboration and productivity."
Certification of the UNIVERGE SV8500 with Verizon IP Trunking service means NEC’s enterprise-class communications server has successfully passed Verizon’s rigorous interoperability testing. It also means engineers from both NEC and Verizon are familiar with the features benefits of both solutions. Some of the key benefits of Verizon’s IP Trunking Service include:
• Flexible designs - centralized or decentralized designs that allow customers to simplify administration of their voice services across their enterprise
• Network efficiency – customers using centralized or decentralized designs can share local and long distance concurrent call resources leveraging Verizon’s Burstable Enterprise Shared Trunks (BEST) feature.
• Cost control – customers can leverage Verizon’s powerful web based reporting tools to closely monitor concurrent call utilization in order to optimize their VoIP configuration and drive cost savings
• Business continuity options – IP enabled network based failover capabilities that complement the NEC IP PBX capabilities and enhance the reliability of communications

“NEC is happy to have received Verizon’s certification and we are hoping to provide better service to business customers along with Verizon’s technology at the global level,” said Takemi Hosaka, Associate Senior Vice President, NEC.
"Since its introduction, the UNIVERGE SV8500 has proven repeatedly to be a great enterprise communications platform for both IP and hybrid network environments in a wide variety of business settings," said Larry Levenberg, Vice President of Channel Sales and Marketing, Communication Technologies, NEC Corporation of America. "The SV8500’s SIP interoperability with Verizon should provide customers additional peace of mind that the platform is not only reliable and feature-rich, but it can contribute to significant operational cost savings.”
