However, successful deployments require intelligent, scalable gateways with signaling and management options that facilitate profitable routing schemes and customized VoIP services. Additionally, these platforms must provide reliability, easy management and low operational costs that help ensure profitable, high margin service delivery. The CarrierNet solution facilitates carrier class VoIP transport that seamlessly interworks with SIP, SIP-T, H.323, legacy TDM, SS7, ISDN, R2 and CAS services worldwide. Globally-certified custom hardware matched with an open, distributed architecture provides flexible, secure and dependable VoIP transport via public and private IP networks. Service providers can rely on standards-based native SIP and XML scripting capabilities to ensure interoperability and accelerate time-to-revenue with voice and enhanced SIP services. CarrierNet also incorporates enhanced security features that control access, improve ASR and avoid service interruptions. By adopting this framework, carriers can accelerate their time to market for advanced, high margin opportunities. CarrierNet also provides a smooth and reusable investment path that leads to consistent service innovation, decreased subscriber churn and increased revenue per user. VoIP peering VoIP peering solutions bypass public telephone networks and enable direct carrier-to-carrier exchange of VoIP traffic. CarrierNet VoIP peering solutions provide high-quality end-to-end IP connections that improve control and minimize or eliminate costly interconnection fees. CarrierNet avoids legacy PSTN limitations and offers attractive revenue and service opportunities for competitive startups, VoBB providers and other innovative carriers. CarrierNet’s flexible architecture can be adapted to support a variety of technical network requirements and peering business models. A key issue in VoIP peering is translating phone numbers to IP addresses and vice versa. The Command Center’s ENUM look-up capability can seamlessly identify calls that qualify for direct VoIP termination. These CarrierNet capabilities help ensure efficient, profitable peering operation. VoIP termination Carriers providing wholesale VoIP termination services struggle to efficiently leverage existing TDM infrastructure while delivering ever-increasing volumes of IP voice traffic. CarrierNet is a proven solution for VoIP termination with advanced capabilities for TDM/IP conversion, call control, call routing and more. It allows wholesale carriers to profitably terminate high-volume SIP-based voice traffic onto the PSTN. Global homologation allows wholesalers to offer scalable and profitable VoIP services worldwide. Software-driven intelligence combined with high-performance/high-availability media gateways ensure carrier-grade performance and VoIP CLASS 5 reliability.
