The traditional long distance service market is characterized by intense competition from several different types of players and declining price-points & margins. To offset this trend, long distance service providers have to offer differentiated services in order to attract & retain business customers and high-value consumers. By combining the operational efficiency of a wholesale provider with on-the-fly programmability for service differentiation, the Veraz Long Distance Service Network Switching solution provides an ideal solution for long distance service providers to overcome their current challenges.
By leveraging the ControlSwitch™'s programmable service delivery platform, the Veraz solution serves as the foundation for a service-rich next-generation network for long distance service providers. The ControlSwitch™'s service delivery platform can be combined with specialized 3rd party application servers to offer a rich set of value-added services such as Calling Cards, Toll Free calls, IP Conferencing and VoIP VPN. The open platform provides a simple, unified framework for support of both legacy IN and emerging Session Initiation Protocol based application servers. For additional details on enhanced services, refer to the relevant Enhanced Application solution.
The fully distributed, modular architecture of the ControlSwitch™ enables rapid, low-cost expansion into new markets by allowing service providers to deploy only the components they need in a new location. The ControlSwitch™'s programmable policy engine provides fine-grained control over routing and service policies leading to maximum call-completion rates and optimal usage of network resources. Coupled with the network-wide intelligence of the ControlSwitch™, this allows service providers to meet the stringent QoS requirements of business customers.
With support for TDM access trunk interfaces such as PRI/CAS and IP protocols such as H.323/SIP, and seamless interworking between the two, the ControlSwitch™ enables service providers to support both TDM and IP-based access to businesses. In addition, this also allows service providers to efficiently deliver services to end-users served by different types of CPE in the business premises such as legacy PBX, IP-PBX, IADs and IP phones.
With built-in support for multi-national SS7 and ISDN-PRI signaling variants and an adaptable signaling framework, the ControlSwitch™ supports delivery of services over both national and international long distance networks. Carrier-class reliability is maintained in such a distributed environment through a sophisticated high availability architecture with support for device, network and geographic redundancy. The industry-leading voice quality and compression characteristics of the I-Gate 4000 family of media gateways ensure toll-quality voice and optimal bandwidth efficiency over both TDM and IP networks.
