Today's telecommunications operators are being challenged by severe competitive pressures driven by global deregulation and the emergence of new services on ubiquitous IP networks. To succeed, carriers need to rapidly deliver next-generation voice and data services in order to maintain and grow their customer bases. Simultaneously, they must continue to reduce operating expenses to protect margins. Traditional circuit-switched networks, however, require lengthy development and deployment cycles for new services. Existing legacy equipment is also extremely expensive to operate and service. As a result, carriers worldwide are evolving their traditional networks into converged, packet-based networks that provide critical cost and time to market savings.
Carriers can deploy a service-rich, next-generation network using Veraz's softswitch and service delivery platform - the ControlSwitch™ - together with the I-Gate 4000 PRO media gateways while migrating single or multi-switch Class 4 toll tandem switch installations based on Nortel DMS 250/GSP switches. Traditional intelligent network services, whether in-switch or SCP based can be provided in order to offer service transparency.
Together, Veraz ControlSwitch™ and I-Gate 4000 PRO allow carriers to significantly reduce costs by implementing a packet-based next-generation network (NGN) that maximizes the efficiency of network resources. Advanced Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology within the I-Gate 4000 PRO media gateway platform ensures that carriers experienced no degradation in the quality, reliability, or scalability of voice, fax, and data traffic. With experience professional services, existing traffic can be migrated trunk group by trunk group with minimal impact on other parts of the carrier's network.
Veraz ControlSwitch™ provides an open, flexible infrastructure with intelligent, centralized platform control. This powerful services interface enables carriers to deploy new services directly within the ControlSwitch™, such as LD Enhanced Services or optional third-party IP application servers for specialized service solutions.
The flexibility and simplified maintenance provided by the Veraz solution make ControlSwitch™ an ideal choice for carriers that are migrating their traditional DMS network to next-generation VoIP network. Because the Veraz management system includes built-in monitoring, provisioning, and diagnostic tools, carriers can also reduce manpower requirements, increase productivity, more efficiently troubleshoot problems, and even prevent problems from occurring.
