Industry Leader Expands Mobility Solutions Designed to Improve Network
Performance and Reduce Costs
BARCELONA, Spain and WESTFORD, Mass., Feb. 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Today at Mobile World Congress (Booth #2E58 & 2E66) in Barcelona, Spain,
Sonus Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: SONS), a leading supplier of service provider
IP-voice infrastructure solutions, showcased its Centralized Call Routing
Database. Demonstrating its commitment to wireless operators around the
globe, Sonus Networks' Centralized Call Routing Database answers wireless
network operators demands for advanced IP solutions that drive network
efficiency and streamline the rollout of network expansions.
"Mobile operators around the globe are addressing consumers' insatiable
appetite for wireless services and increased connectivity. With flat-rate
pricing plans and increasing competition, network efficiency is a prime
concern in the mobile industry," said Vikram Saksena, chief technology
officer, Sonus Networks. "Sonus is continually advancing its mobility
solutions to improve wireless networks efficiency, which translates into
valuable cost savings."
Sonus' Centralized Call Routing Database leverages Sonus PSX(TM) Policy
Server, which allows mobile operators to consolidate routing decisions in a
central location instead of provisioning each individual mobile switching
center (MSC). It delivers enhanced network performance and efficiency by
providing mobile operators with "transcoder-free operation" (TrFO). By
eliminating the need to convert signals between disparate mobile networks,
network operators free additional network capacity.
"Simplicity is a key component in reducing wireless network costs. By
centralizing the routing intelligence in a network, Sonus' solution reduces
the multiple points of potential failure in traditional networks and
provides a logical and streamlined network architecture," said Stephane
Teral, Principal Analyst, Service Provider VoIP, IMS and Mobile
Infrastructure with Infonetics. "This scalable and reliable architecture is
especially critical when the mobile call is routed between multi-vendor
mobile switching centers. Interoperability is essential in the wireless
world and Sonus has provided a solution that supports this, while reducing
costs."
The Sonus Centralized Call Routing Database solution utilizes Session
Initiation Protocol (SIP) and can be deployed in both CDMA and GSM-based
networks Sonus Mobility Solutions are field proven in the world's largest
mobile networks and seamlessly integrate with Home Location Registers
(HLRs) to determine the location of the mobile user initiating the call and
efficiently route calls to the end destination. Today, Sonus'
industry-leading IP wireless core network solutions carry more than 13
billion minutes of IP voice traffic, three times more than any other IP
voice equipment provider.
The Sonus Centralized Call Routing Database solution is available now.
