Mix Networks Mix Networks' Mission: To deliver full-featured, next-generation IP telephony services to our End User and Reseller Customers with the highest degree of Quality, Value, and Integrity.

Based in Lakeland, Florida, Mix Networks, Inc. is a continent-wide VOIP service provider offering a full suite of VOIP product and service solutions. The company was established with the goal of providing high-value, low-cost next-generation VOIP services to Residential, Business, and Reseller Customers. To that end, Mix Networks offers VOIP Products and Service Plans, Custom VOIP Solutions for Businesses and Contact Centers, as well as Comprehensive Wholesale and Reseller Services such as continent-wide DID Origination, IP Trunk Resale, and Domestic and International Termination.

When searching for an IP PBX/Centrex platform, Mix Networks considered a variety of companies, including several high-end solutions. Many of the available options provided nice feature sets, but had proprietary hardware/software components, making it difficult to scale in an economically sensible fashion. None of the available options gave Mix Networks the ability to "travel light", and shape the solution as customer need or industry focus-shift dictated.

Recognizing the need for and value of Open Source Architecture and witnessing the widespread acceptance of Asterisk as a robust, malleable, and user-friendly medium for delivering feature-rich VOIP, Mix Networks adopted Asterisk as its feature set platform and is extremely pleased with the results.

Mix Networks uses Asterisk as its central office backbone for its IP PBX and Centrex functionality and has found the solution to be highly reliable and scalable. Mix Networks is pleased to be part of the Asterisk community and is committed to promoting Asterisk as a viable medium for delivering a sound and effective network topology.

Red FoneRed Fone Redfone Communications, Inc. was initialy formed in 2003 to design, develop and deliver next-generation Asterisk-based communications solutions to small and mid-size businesses. Our company founders had successfully employed Asterisk-based VoIP technologies in their other businesses, and concluded that the underlying hardware, software and telephony components of their Asterisk "soft" VoIP PBX were mature and ready for "prime time". The next generation of communications technology had arrived!

As Avionics Engineers with a strong background in avionics data communications, however, they realized that large-scale implementors of Asterisk-based systems still face significant challenges, namely hardware compatibility, scalability, and redundancy issues.

Redfone Communications, LLC. was reorganized in 2005 with a new mission: Provide solutions to assist Asterisk developers and installers by extending the linux concept of hardware-independence. Our first product, the foneBRIDGE , has already been acclaimed by installers and industry analysts alike.

Ranch Networks Ranch Networks was established in 2000 by an award-winning group of data networking professionals who were veterans of successful data networking startups such as Scorpio Communications (acquired by US Robotics) and Lannet (acquired by Lucent) or were from advanced data networking projects in Bell Labs. The mission of the company was to develop innovative, mission-critical security and data networking appliances that solve advanced but specific business problems at drastically reduced prices. Ranch has achieved the first milestones toward this quest with the introduction of the RN20 and RN5 Multi-Zone, Multi-Function Switches. In the early days of the company, Ranch was financially supported by Venture Capital firms such as Sienna Ventures, Mid-Atlantic Venture Funds, and Blue Rock Capital, and by private individual investors with highly successful data networking startup backgrounds. The support of these organizations and individuals continues to this day.

Today Ranch enjoys a successful and growing customer base and distribution channel, both of which span multiple countries and continents. Ranch's commitment to its original mission is now accelerating as we increase our investments in Sales, Marketing, and Research & Development of next-generation products. In parallel we are increasing our commitment to solve business problems - by methodically and aggressively increasing the scope of challenges that we tackle - all while maintaining the values, responsiveness, and commitment to the customer which have always guided the company.

Telic Telic was founded in 1999 and today has nearly 50 employees in its offices in Morristown, New Jersey and Manila, Philippines. Our mission is to build and provide to telecom service providers, cable companies and other network operators a state-of-the-art managed software platform for the creation, deployment and management of next-generation telecom services. We accomplish this by developing innovative software that solves real problems and offering it with industry-leading knowledge and expertise.

Our flagship platform, called xVox, is a next-generation OSS (NGOSS) and application suite that allows our customers to manage multiple services from a single point. It provides unprecedented openness and flexibility, reduces up front investment and ongoing operating expense, speeds time-to-market, and mitigates the risk of managing rapidly-evolving VoIP technology.

Our customers include TDM-based carriers needing a speedy roll out of IP Telephony, ISPs desiring to add voice and enhanced applications to their existing data offerings, and next-gen service providers wanting to offer advanced telephony services over 3rd party networks and facilities.
