Service providers are increasingly using IP to interconnect their VoIP networks in order to expand network reach and revenue potential while minimizing PSTN termination costs. National and international wholesale service providers are also offering services to facilitate the growth of VoIP networks and traffic around the world.
IP interconnects enable service providers to realize several benefits, including:
- Lower costs through reduced capital and operational expenditures made possible by leveraging IP service infrastructure of other providers and eliminating PSTN termination or transit costs
- Extend service reach by securely and quickly increasing accessible geographies and subscribers
- Improve quality by eliminating unnecessary IP-to-TDM-to-IP translations and exploiting high fidelity IP codecs
- Enable new service opportunities that require end-to-end IP connectivity such as interactive video, gaming, multimedia collaboration and more
Acme Packet’s Net-Net session border controllers provide 2 solutions that enable IP interconnects and peering:
- Interconnect SBCs for fixed line, cable and mobile service providers and ASPs
- IPX proxy for IPX carriers and wholesale service providers
