MetaSwitch (News - Alert) next week will participate in the Utah Rural Telecom Associations' (URTA) annual meeting.
As a member of URTA, MetaSwitch is committed to providing rural areas of Utah with enhanced and extended telecommunications services. The URTA is an association representing 14 independent telephone companies which serve approximately 80 percent of the geographical area of the state to over 96,000 residents.
In many underserved rural markets, it can be difficult to build new exchanges from the ground up. And that is evident than in Utah where weather conditions, rough topography and scattered populations are all factors in deploying technologies.
As the need for reliable, high-quality voice communications platforms and services has continued to grow in recent years, MetaSwitch has strengthened its position as a leader in the space through its passing of several significant deployment and corporate milestones.
The Alameda, California-based MetaSwitch, an industry-leading vendor of switching and applications solutions for both packet and circuit-switched networks, has recently increased its footprint throughout North American with a jump in total shipments of Class 5 switching capacity and has now passed the 20 million subscriber mark.
With a clear strategy for service evolution, MetaSwitch products ensure performance, operational consistency, and investment protection for networks serving markets of any size, from a few hundred to millions of subscribers.
As TMCnet previously reported, MetaSwitch and Occam Networks recently announced they now have more than 100 joint service provider deployments in North America delivering voice, data and video services to a wide range of customers.
As a pure IP-over-Ethernet multi-service access play, the Occam platform is compatible with MetaSwitch's core session control, call feature server and media gateway products, working with different signaling protocols to ensure that the interaction is seamless. The combined solution enables carriers to take advantage of the migration to IP and deliver voice, data and video services to customers.
