Conferencing Services enable retail/wholesale service providers targeting business customers to generate additional revenue streams and enhance customer retention. With the growing maturity of IP-based networks, many service providers are deploying or evaluating IP Conferencing solutions. They have to ensure high quality of service for their business customers, while cost-effectively delivering services to a broad, geographically dispersed customer base. They have to interconnect with other carrier and enterprise networks supporting diverse protocols and signaling standards. With proven interoperability with best-of-breed IP Conferencing service platforms, industry-leading voice quality over both TDM & IP networks, and seamless any-to-any protocol interworking, the Veraz IP Conferencing Services Application solution provides a carrier-grade, scalable and highly cost-effective solution for service providers.
The Veraz solution is based on the ControlSwitch™ softswitch platform, the I-Gate 4000 family of media gateways, and best-of-breed, feature-rich IP Conferencing Servers and Media Servers from 3rd parties. The proven interoperability, based on open standards, between the ControlSwitch™ and specialized conferencing servers enables Veraz to deliver a complete, pre-tested solution to service providers.
By leveraging advanced in-house DSP technology, the I-Gate 4000 series of media gateways deliver the highest quality voice over both TDM and IP networks, along with substantial bandwidth savings via compression. This allows service providers to deliver cost-effective IP-based Conferencing services, while ensuring the high quality of service demanded by their business customers.
With support for multi-national signaling variants of SS7, TDM access trunking interfaces such as PRI & CAS, and seamless any-to-any interworking between TDM signaling and IP protocols such as H.323 & SIP, the ControlSwitch™ enables delivery of IP Conferencing services to the broadest possible set of business end-users. The Veraz solution delivers services to end-users being served by a diverse range of CPE including legacy PBX, IP-PBX, IP phones and regular POTS phones (connected to the PSTN).
Being IP-based, the Veraz solution allows the Conferencing service platform to be hosted at a central location on the IP network, while delivering services to multiple regions & countries. This results in significant cost-savings compared to traditional TDM solutions. The cost-effectiveness is further enhanced compared to "packet-switch-in-a-box" solutions by the fully distributed, modular architecture of the ControlSwitch™, which enables expansion to new regions with the addition of just the components required for that location. For instance, expansion to a new region may only require the addition of a media gateway and no additional investment in application or switching infrastructure.
