Brilliant Telecommunications Earns Premier Partner Status With Tempest Telecom Solutions

Recognition adds timing network solution to Tempest's growing product portfolio

Campbell, CA – April XX, 2007- Brilliant Telecommunications (Brilliant), Inc., - a developer of ultra precise and reliable hardware-based Network Time Protocol (NTP) server technology, announced it has become a Premier Partner under the Tempest Telecom Solutions select partner program. Tempest Telecom Solutions, LLC, is a leading provider of wireless, landline and networking infrastructure equipment serving world-class network operators including AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, and T-Mobile. Together Brilliant and Tempest will collaborate on bringing carrier-class NTP and synchronization solutions to support network operators as they introduce flexible IP applications into their existing legacy networks and migrate to next-generation networks.

“Brilliant Telecommunications has demonstrated their responsiveness and ability to deliver a standards-based solution that addresses the critical timing and synchronization requirements in legacy and next-generation networks,” commented Jessica Firestone, CEO of Tempest. As two strong players providing clearly differentiated solutions to the service provider market place, this relationship clearly underscores our commitment in bringing partners under the Tempest umbrella that offer best-of-breed products to our target markets.”

As the transition from T1/E1 leased lines to Ethernet services evolves to accommodate high-bandwidth applications, essential timing information is lost. Brilliant Telecommunications has developed a network timing solution that provides carrier-class timing and synchronization over network layers one (Ll) through layer four (L4) in a seamless and cost-effective manner. Additionally, Brilliant provides hardware-based, wirespeed NTP and pre-standard IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) processing capability. 

“With service providers and network operators looking to deliver IP-based solutions while retaining the same level of quality of experience currently received over TDM networks, interest in next-generation timing solutions is stronger than ever,” said Dr. Charles Barry, chief executive officer, Brilliant Telecommunications. “We have emphasized developing quality products that meet stringent carrier-class requirements while delivering a competitive edge. I am proud to have received this validation from Tempest as a premier partner and am excited about the prospect of building value-added solutions together.”
