Avaya Government Solutions Gains Certification & Approval, Launches Enhanced Unified Communications Solution
Avaya's subsidiary, Avaya Government Solutions, announced that its new Unified Communications solution, designed to help government and civilian agencies alike communicate with more efficiency and cost effectiveness, has been made available today.
The Avaya Aura Application Server 5300 Release 2.0 provides a secure, next-generation, SIP-based UC solution, while integrating voice, video, multimedia conferencing, and collaboration with capabilities enabled by Instant Messaging, live chat, and other presence-based communications.
As it meets the security and service assurance requirements set by the Department of Defense and federal government and complies with the Unified Capabilities Requirements 2008 specification, the solution has been granted JITC certification and has been added to the Unified Capabilities Approved Products List for the US Department of Defense.
Jay Brandstadter of UCStrategies seems impressed by Avaya's new solution. "This announcement was particularly interesting to me since I spent 10 years with the Defense Information Systems Agency and was personally involved with many early DoD VoIP projects. Avaya, aided no doubt by folks from the acquired Nortel Government Solutions, has released a robust offering for the 'everything over IP' direction of DoD's Unified Capabilities strategy. It includes the assured services extensions to SIP (AS-SIP), support of IPv6-a key DoD mandate, and support of V.150.1 for handling modem signals over IP especially important in secure tactical environments. Moreover, the Avaya solution which meets important DoD testing and other standards, applies equally well to the UC needs of non-Defense, civilian agencies."
Avaya's new solution is designed to ensure mission critical communication for both military and civilian agencies with high levels of security and resiliency. Furthermore, by creating intuitive and integrated user experiences, it can boost productivity, and provides service portability, which can allow communications from almost anywhere while reducing operating costs.
