Wholesale Network Switching
Wholesale voice network service providers operate in a highly competitive market characterized by large-scale, multi-city, multi-country network deployments. They require maximum routing and bandwidth efficiency, while having the ability to dynamically adapt to constantly changing customer requirements and traffic patterns. Based on the Veraz ControlSwitch™ softswitch and service delivery platform and the I-Gate 4000 family of media gateways, the Veraz Wholesale Service Network Switching solution is perfectly suited to meet the requirements of wholesale service providers.

With built-in support for multi-national SS7 and ISDN-PRI signaling variants and an adaptable signaling framework that enables support for new national variants in a matter of days, the ControlSwitch™ enables global network deployments and the ability to rapidly enter new regions. Seamless any-to-any protocol interworking between TDM and VoIP SIP signaling protocols (such as H.323 & SIP - Session Initiation Protocol) allows wholesale service providers to efficiently interconnect with multiple carrier networks supporting diverse technologies and signaling standards. 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. Furthermore, built-in QoS policies allow carriers to gain control of their network-wide quality of service through network & application level statistics collection, service level definition (SLAs), and policy enforcement to comply with SLAs.

The fully distributed, modular architecture of the ControlSwitch™ provides unmatched flexibility and cost-effectiveness in deployment configurations. For instance, carriers can choose to centralize management, billing subsystem, service logic and routing, while distributing signaling, call control, and media gateways. Such flexibility delivers granular, "pay-as-you-grow" scalability for both small and large locations by enabling deployment of the optimal configuration for each location.

By leveraging advanced in-house DSP capabilities, the I-Gate 4000 family of media gateways deliver industry-leading voice quality over both TDM and IP networks and optimal bandwidth efficiency via compression. Coupled with the routing efficiency provided by the ControlSwitch™, this ensures a rapid return on investment for wholesale network service providers.
