Naperville, IL (July 20, 2004) - Datameg Corp.'s (DTMG:OTCBB) wholly owned subsidiary, North Electric Company, Inc. (NECI), and Tekno Telecom LLC signed a Joint Sales and Marketing Agreement. This Agreement facilitates the pairing of NECI's NAS-6131 Network Assurance System and Tekno Telecom's NetQuest family of SS7, ATM & IP Network Surveillance and CDR Generation systems which together will provide telecommunications network carriers and operators with a unique, comprehensive solution to their network performance and quality monitoring needs.
NECI's NAS-6131 is a network diagnostic system to actively establish, test and measure end-to-end calls for voice and packet quality in TDM, IP and converged networks for wire line, wireless, cable and next-generation carriers. Tekno Telecom LLC has numerous products that address these same networks and carriers but focus on data and information collected by monitoring various signaling channel aspects of these networks. The combination of the information collected by Tekno and NECI products provides a unique and comprehensive understanding of network performance and over all quality offered to the customer.
Dan Ference, President of NECI, stated, "We are extremely excited and pleased to have developed this relationship. Combining our products and expertise creates a very unique and powerful solution to address emerging next generation VoIP networks and customer needs. Our products are very complementary and having our products united with a successful industry-leader like Tekno Telecom places our products at the forefront of this fastest growing segment of the telecom market."
Tekno Telecom LLC's NetQuest family of SS7, ATM & IP Network Surveillance and CDR Generation systems provide for the surveillance, troubleshooting, data acquisition and CDR Generation of signaling information associated with telephone calls, as they transit both the traditional PSTN SS7- based networks and the VoIP Sigtran and IETF- based next generation networks.
Sam Galler, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Tekno Telecom LLC, stated "By combining our ability to correlate, provide surveillance and globally trace calls as they transit these converged signaling networks with NECI's ability to provide the end-to-end voice quality measurements of these same calls, carriers now have a solution to truly manage their converged networks and ensure that a quality service is being provided to their customers. This is an excellent match of technologies and we are extremely pleased to have forged this relationship with NECI."
