Black Box Corporation (NASDAQ: BBOX), a leading communications systems
integrator, announced today it has expanded its portfolio of solutions
with GENBAND’s NUViA™ cloud communications offering.
GENBAND’s carrier-class, secure, multimedia communications cloud
services enable Black Box to offer HD voice, video, multimedia
messaging, mobility, conferencing, web collaboration, desktop clients
and fixed mobile convergence as a service to its clients. Black Box will
provide the NUViA cloud solution in a comprehensive Unified
Communications as a Service (UCaaS) solution that includes a suite of
related products and services.

agreement which enables Black Box to offer the GENBAND on-premise
solution to its customers in North America.
“We are very excited to expand our relationship with GENBAND. Our large,
enterprise clients are increasingly asking for cloud-based solutions
that offer them a full range of functionality with the added benefit of
pay-as-you-go economics,” said Michael Laughlin, Black Box’s Vice
President, Strategic Relationships. “GENBAND’s NUViA solution will
provide our clients with flexible, best-in-class, cloud-based options
that eliminate the need for upfront capital expenditures.”
“GENBAND built the NUViA cloud service on a carrier-class foundation and
fortified it with simple-but-powerful Web-based operations and
provisioning and management capabilities to meet the demanding
go-to-market specifications of leading system integrators such as Black
Box,” said Ramnik Kamo, Senior Vice President for Global Services &
Cloud/SaaS for GENBAND. “We look forward to further expanding our
