By Anil SharmaNortel Government Solutions (News - Alert) has introduced a new unified communications platform designed specifically to meet the stringent security and service assurance requirements of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and other agencies of the U.S. Federal Government.

Moreover, Nortel Application Server
