BellSouth has selected Nortel Networks to provide packet voice tandem switches for its core network, with deployment expected later this year. This Packet Voice Tandem solution will include Nortel Networks Succession Communication Server 2000 (CS 2000) and Succession Multiservice Gateway 4000 (MG 4000) products. The CS 2000 will operate as a tandem switch in BellSouth’s network, transferring calls between BellSouth’s central offices. The MG 4000 is a trunking gateway that can reduce tandem congestion and help lower network costs. Financial terms were not disclosed. http://www.nortelnetworks.com

From the Graveyard
You just read about Nortel Networks. One of the companies whose work it now carries:

Periphonics brought Carrier-grade IVR and voice-processing systems to Telecom. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by Nortel Networks for US$436M. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside Nortel Networks today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.
