Foundry Networks Voice Over IP Solutions Pass Rigorous Siemens` HiPath Ready Net Certification Tests FastIron Switches Receive Siemens` HiPath Ready Net Certification After Successful Performance and Interoperability Testing With Siemens HiPath Voice Over IP Products SAN JOSE, Calif., July 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Foundry Networks(R), Inc. (Nasdaq: FDRY) a performance and total solutions leader for end-to-end switching and routing, today announced that Siemens has certified Foundry`s FastIron Super-X Series, FastIron Edge X-Series, and FastIron 800 switches and routers as being compliant and interoperable with Siemens HiPath Voice over IP (VoIP) products. Foundry Networks, a global Siemens HiPath partner, received Siemens` HiPath Ready NET certification after undergoing a set of demanding tests for security, quality of service (QoS), performance, and interoperability under multiple VoIP networking scenarios in the Siemens HiPath labs. The Siemens HiPath Ready Net test environment validates both layer 2 switching and layer 3 routing functionality, performance, and interoperability in a VoIP networking environment. Tests include Ethernet and IP traffic classification & queuing, voice VLAN support, performance under traffic congestion, voice quality support, and power over Ethernet (PoE) support for HiPath IP phones. Test results were converted into a PSQM score (Perceptual Speech Quality Measure) to provide a measure of subjective voice quality. Foundry scored at the maximum theoretical value for both G.711 and G.729 codecs in all of the test cases. The full range of Siemens HiPath IP phone functions were also validated for each of the certified platforms. "We are extremely pleased to have been certified by Siemens as HiPath Ready," said Bob Schiff, vice president of product marketing at Foundry Networks. "Foundry is committed to building open and standards-based networking solutions that can interoperate with and enable a wide range of applications. In particular, we have designed our Ethernet switches to facilitate the roll-out of voice over IP in the enterprise, with high-density Power over Ethernet solutions that deliver the resilience, quality of service and security required for a high-performance and reliable converged VoIP solution. The HiPath Ready Net Certification gives our customers the confidence that an integrated Foundry and Siemens network provides an interoperable and fully-tested solution for their converged data and voice over IP infrastructure." Certification was completed using Foundry`s stackable FastIron Edge X-Series of products; the modular chassis based FastIron Super-X family of products; as well as the FastIron 800 modular chassis switch product. These products support Layer 2 (Ethernet switching) and Layer 3 (IP routing) functionality, and have a broad range of integrated security, performance, convergence and manageability features.
