British Telecom (BT (News - Alert)) is the major provider of telecommunications networks and services in the U.K. As an established global telecommunications company, BT is currently serving customers in more than 170 countries. The company focuses on providing fixed-line services, broadband, mobile and TV products and services as well as networked IT services. That’s why it’s a perfect fit for its new venture.


Metaswitch Networks, a company specializing in telecom hardware and software solutions, is all set to supply its virtual Perimeta Session Border Controller to support the new BT One Phone (News - Alert) service.

BT One Phone is a service of BT which combines desk phones, mobile phones, and phone systems into a single hosted service which will help in streaming all calls and voicemail to just one mobile device. The service is offered as BT One Phone Office and BT One Phone Professional.

Perimeta, from Metaswitch Networks, is a new generation of Session Border Controller (SBC) designed specifically to address key issues in small to large wireless or wireline networks at both the access layer and on carrier interconnects. It comes with capabilities that deliver sophisticated network security, advanced management of packet throughput under all load conditions, extensive protocol interworking and normalization and complete packet analysis for in-depth problem isolation and repair.

As indicated, Metaswitch's virtualized Perimeta SBC is designed to support SIP interconnect between the BT One Phone core network and the network operated by BT's wireless partner. In addition, Perimeta protects network services from nefarious attacks and packet throughput under all load conditions.

“Perimeta also makes SIP interoperability simple by normalizing otherwise incompatible protocols. Perimeta's highly efficient message manipulation framework (MMF) includes an extensive rules engine for treating SIP and SDP headers without degrading network performance,” said the company official.

Metaswitch's virtualized Perimeta SBC can be deployed on any virtualized cloud server, allowing BT to deliver a secure and stable service for its customers.
