Mobile Network Switching
The market for mobile voice services is characterized by growth and constant churn in the customer base. To support this, wholesale network service providers and/or wireless service providers need to frequently add tandem switching & trunk capacity to connect new and existing Mobile Switching Centers (MSCs) & Gateway MSCs (G-MSCs) with each other. The investment required by traditional TDM solutions to support this need is disproportionately high and is unsustainable in a market with declining prices & margins. The Veraz Mobile Network Switching solution provides a next-generation solution to this problem by delivering a highly efficient, distributed "virtual mesh" tandem switching solution, along with substantial bandwidth savings and toll-quality voice over packet networks.

The fully distributed, modular architecture of the ControlSwitch™ enables low-cost, granular scalability by allowing carriers to just add the components they need to support growth at a new location. For instance, carriers can choose to centralize system management, billing subsystem, service logic and routing, and add only call control, signaling, and media gateways in a new location. This ensures that additional investment to support traffic growth is aligned with revenue growth. Further, centralized management of routing and service policies enables rapid, simple expansion to new sites and reduced operational costs to manage network growth.

The ControlSwitch™'s programmable policy engine provides fine-grained control over routing and service policies leading to maximization of call-completion rates and optimal usage of network resources. Furthermore, built-in QoS policies allow carriers to gain control of their network-wide quality of service, dynamically adapt to changing requirements, and ensure compliance with SLAs for service providers.

By leveraging advanced in-house DSP capabilities, the I-Gate 4000 family of media gateways deliver industry-leading voice quality over packet networks and optimal bandwidth efficiency via compression. With support for the EFR codec type, the I-Gate 4000 series media gateways provide superior voice compression optimized for cellular traffic, thereby delivering over 80% bandwidth savings and superior voice quality.
