The ClariLink-V series WAN link controllers manage voice calls and video applications over multiple Internet connections for reliability and optimized performance.

Plymouth, MN – January 12, 2010 – Ecessa, a leader in affordable WAN link controllers for small-to-medium sized enterprises (SME), today announced the ClariLink™-V Series, WAN link controllers for SIP-application management for reliability of VoIP applications over the Internet. ClariLink-V enables voice and video traffic to be deployed reliably across multiple Internet and/or service provider networks for redundant link connectivity to deliver automatic real-time failover. This capability ensures that VoIP calls and video conferencing sessions remain active - even in the case of a service provider outage. The ClariLink-V is a very affordable solution for SME’s that want to deploy VoIP over the Internet, but have been worried about using broadband connections due to performance and reliability concerns.

The ability to intelligently aggregate SIP connections over multiple Internet connections is critical for successful and scalable VoIP and video conferencing applications. ClariLink-V manages any Internet connection such as cable, DSL, T1, wireless, satellite, etc., to provide redundant SIP origination and termination. ClariLink-V includes Internet connection load balancing and failover technology, a SIP Proxy, SIP Registration Server and Network Address Translation (NAT) Proxy that allows SIP traffic to be load balanced and have real-time failover among multiple Internet connections to ensure call reliability. These capabilities address the challenging reliability and performance issues of small businesses and service providers looking to take advantage of cost savings when using VoIP and video conferencing services over the Internet. The ability to use multiple, affordable broadband connections provides a larger pool of bandwidth - at a lower cost.

By alleviating network congestion, ClariLink-V addresses one of the primary causes of jitter. Intelligently load balancing inbound and outbound traffic allows VoIP applications to be directed to the best available connections with the most available bandwidth at any point in time.

ClariLink-V monitors Internet connections for latency to ensure minimum standards are enforced. This ensures that VoIP applications do not get directed to an Internet connection with high latency. ClariLink-V tests all Internet connections for latency prior to a call being established, and then directs traffic to the connection with the lowest latency.

ClariLink-V ensures VoIP call integrity by directing traffic to persist to the correct destination, providing real-time session failover even in the event of an outage. By intelligently directing VoIP traffic among multiple Internet connections, ClariLink-V eliminates the Internet connection as a point-of-failure.

“ClariLink-V is a strategic focus for Ecessa by addressing voice applications going over the Internet” states Ron Thomas, president and CEO of Ecessa. “One of the most critical issues facing businesses today is how to effectively manage their voice and video applications over an Internet connection that has outages, or suffers from performance hits due to latency, jitter and congestion. For our channel partners, ClariLink-V enables them to offer a voice optimization solution not previously attainable to SME’s. This is going to provide new opportunities for them to generate additional revenues.”

The family of ClariLink-V WAN Link Controllers will be available in Q1 2010. Depending on the model, pricing ranges from $1095 to $2985.
