Veraz Networks, Inc., (NASDAQ:VRAZ), the leading provider of Multimedia Generation Network application, control, and bandwidth optimization products, today announced a partnership program for system integrators in Russia and the former CIS countries. Veraz Russia officially launched its System Integrator Partnership Program on January 28 with a seminar at the Holiday Inn Sokolniki Hotel Russia.

The event gathered more than 60 leading Russian systems integrators (SIs) active in providing NGN, IMS and bandwidth optimization solutions for the Russian telecom market, the largest telecom market in Europe with over 43 million landlines and 170 million wireless subscribers. Veraz's strong installed base of existing customers in Russia includes Equant, Vimpelcom, MTT, Rostelecom and Golden Telecom.

Veraz has been successfully working in Russia in strategic cooperation with ECI Telecom, and intends to extend company activity by establishing new business partnerships with leading Russian SIs. Veraz NGN and bandwidth optimization solutions allow operators to generate new revenue and cut operational and ownership costs, especially important during a challenging time of global financial crisis. System integrators and service providers working with Veraz are able to significantly lower the cost of deploying and managing applications thereby winning Russian business customers even during the current economic slowdown.

Throughout the region, carriers are handling large volumes of long distance domestic traffic both for wired and wireless calling. Veraz's compression and bandwidth optimization solutions can also reduce the costs for transport associated with these high levels of traffic, while meeting the demands of the Russian geography and legislative regulations.

The Veraz-certified system integrators will resell the I-Gate 4000 family of media gateways with bandwidth optimization and compression, and the ControlSwitch(TM).
