Buzzinbees and PT cooperate to make Bee-IRON messaging platform available on MicroTCA server

GRENOBLE, France, February 12, 2010 — Two months after its creation, Buzzinbees announces the availability of its flagship product, Bee-IRON, on PT's MicroTCA based Application-Ready Systems. Bee-IRON provides a ready-made solution to application vendors who need to route and load balance signaling and short message traffic. It is typically deployed in clustered configurations where front-end processors cope with network traffic and distribute it to back-end application processors.

PT's MicroTCA-based IPnexus® Application-Ready Systems enable equipment providers to develop their carrier-grade applications with minimum development costs and quick time-to-market schedules. We applaud Buzzinbees initiatives, said John Grana, Senior Vice President, Products and Technology at PT. The combination of our Application-Ready Systems and Buzzinbees's fault-tolerant software significantly increases the flexibility and high-availability of Buzzinbees's mass messaging and routing platform.

Bee-IRON delivers and routes up to 2,500 SMS per second on a single node. Buzzinbees is committed to making its portfolio available on best in class platforms, added Jean-Rene Bouvier, head of Buzzinbees. We are proud to announce the availability of this product less than 2 months after we started operations.
