BOSTON, March 11, 2014 – Bowen Advisors is pleased to announce that Performance Technologies (Nasdaq: PTIX) (“PT”), a provider of Diameter and SS7 signaling solutions for wireline and wireless service providers, has been acquired by Sonus Networks (Nasdaq: SONS), a global leader in SIP communications. Bowen Advisors provided sellside M&A advisory services to PT.

Founded in 1981 and headquartered in Rochester, New York, PT’s Diameter and SS7 signaling systems provide tightly integrated signaling and advanced routing capabilities and applications that span the mission critical demands of both existing and next-generation 4G LTE, IMS and Evolved Packet Core (EPC) telecommunications networks.
