Interoute taps Covergence for clearinghouse service

Covergence's Eclipse session border controller is making its debut in Europe with two U.K.-based service providers. One of those customers, Interoute, is using the Eclipse to support its new Microsoft Live Communications Server and Office Communications Server 2007 (LCS/OCS) clearinghouse service. The service enables business users who work for different companies that are connected to the Interoute network to work collaboratively via secure, reliable multimedia services. Among other things, they can exchange IM's, share calendars, view presence and make video and voice calls with each other using the Microsoft clients free of charge.
