NET's Tenor Gateways Enable Customers to Achieve the Benefits of Skype Connect Through Interoperability With Legacy Equipment

Network Equipment Technologies, Inc. ("NET") (NASDAQ: NWK) announced today that its Tenor DX gateway was certified for interoperability with Skype Connect™, a business solution that can help companies lower their monthly communications costs. As a result, business customers can benefit from the cost-saving features of Skype Connect through interoperability with their legacy TDM or IP-PBX equipment, with little or no additional upgrades required.

This will enable small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) using legacy TDM and IP-PBX equipment to make calls to landlines and mobile phones around the world billed at Skype's low per-minute business calling rates. Companies can also choose to purchase Skype Online Numbers, enabling them to receive calls via Skype from business contacts and customers calling from traditional fixed lines or mobile phones.
