Tiscali International Network Deploys NexTone’s Multiprotocol Session Exchange for VoIP Carrier Service
October 28th, 2006 - Posted in Other, VoIP– The Tiscali International Network (TINet), the carrier arm of the
Tiscali Group, has chosen NexTone’s Multiprotocol Session Exchange (MSX) to
deliver high-quality VoIP, VoIP VPN, and VoIP peering services to wholesale
market carriers and xSPs in Europe, North America, and Asia.
– The NexTone MSX is designed to interconnect SIP and H.323 networks
which are the primary protocols used by networks capable of carrying VoIP
and multimedia traffic. NexTone’s IntelliConnect(TM) System provides TINet
with a simplified carrier class solution to manage all aspects of its VoIP
network interconnects for real-time services and applications, including
interconnect security, service connectivity, multi-vendor interoperability,
and traffic management.
– With NexTone’s MSX, TINet is improving the quality and efficiency of
its existing ILD (International Long Distance) VoIP service. Quality,
especially of the VoIP service provided, is a key focus for TINet.
NexTone’s ability to flexibly adjust TINet’s VoIP call flows to increase
service quality is a key advantage in the wholesale VoIP space, where voice
quality is unpredictable and difficult to monitor.
– Due to the technical and operational limitations of its previous
wholesale VoIP infrastructure, TINet implemented NexTone’s MSX to act as
its central VoIP call routing platform. TINet chose the NexTone solution
based on its sophisticated call routing intelligence, granular level of
control over VoIP traffic and business, and the flexible and easy to manage
platform.
– The NexTone MSX also offers flexibility and scalability while ensuring
consistent service quality, protection, and security within TINet.
NexTone’s SIP and H.323 signaling intelligence adapts session signaling at
the network edge and enables TINet to successfully interconnect to any
fixed or mobile IP network. Advanced session border controller (SBC)
capabilities protect TINet from traditional Internet threats such as Denial
of Service (DoS) attacks, while also providing access control, private-to-
public IP network address translation (NAT), topology hiding, route
enforcement, and the regulation of bandwidth consumption between networks.
– Since deploying NexTone’s MSX, TINet has seen a dramatic increase in
its voice traffic without an increase in OpEx, has been able to sell tiered
quality services as opposed to one flat rate product, and has improved its
efficiency and margins by focusing its business on more efficient routes.
QUOTES
– Maurizio Binello, COO, Tiscali International Network - “As a company,
we are committed to providing the best VoIP quality. After evaluating
several other vendors in the space, NexTone proved that it is focused on
helping carriers build manageable, scalable and high quality VoIP networks.
A primary reason we chose NexTone was because of the degree of control it
provided us over VoIP session quality. In addition, NexTone’s
comprehensive platform was manageable and flexible enough to address the
many complexities of interconnecting VoIP networks.”
– Dan Dearing, VP of marketing, NexTone - “Tiscali International Network
understands that NexTone provides service providers with a degree of
control over VoIP session quality that is unmatched. In addition,
NexTone’s IntelliConnect System offers the combination of a session border
controller with a policy-based VoIP call routing engine in an adaptable all-
in-one platform. This unified approach makes the NexTone MSX both more
flexible and easier to manage than typical piece-meal VoIP solutions
currently present in the industry.”
