Q1 2009 will be very interesting for both companies", he added.

"I was delighted that interoperability testing went so well" said Steve Davis, EVP Sales & Marketing. "The seamless switchover between SIP trunks and the PSTN was effortless. In the situation of a broadband outage an end user would not realise that his calls had been automatically switched to the PSTN. When the broadband link is re-instated then calls are routed back over SIP trunks".
