Voice Peering Featured Article

Today’s service providers are finding that peering, or the interconnection of networks, is the best way to achieve resilience, speed and flexibility needed to deliver next-generation communications. Making the business case for voice peering is getting easier as the advantages of this approach become increasingly apparent.

 

The main benefit of incorporating voice peering into the service provider business model is that doing so enables exchange of phone, video and other telephony-related communications (in the IP domain) without needing to transverse the public phone system.

 

Voice peering today involves working purely with IP networks, providing a high level of flexibility. IP networks let service providers quickly respond to changing business needs and market developments. At the same time, voice peering in the IP domain eliminates reliance on costly and complex TDM infrastructures. “Lost-in-translation” can, with voice peering, become a thing of the past.

 

Stealth Communications (News - Alert) has worked hard to bring the most compelling advantages of voice peering to service providers. It has done so with the creation of the Voice Peering Fabric, a collection of communications components that let providers overcome challenges associated with legacy phone networks and business models.

 

The concept behind the Voice Peering Fabric is to assist service providers in developing and deploying next-gen telecom products and services, quickly and easily. Time-to-market and cost/complexity of deployment are both important for meeting productivity and revenue goals.

 

By using the Voice Peering Fabric, service providers gain the tools they need to focus on building and managing products and client relationships, rather than the technical complexities of network interconnections. Routing is automated by the Voice Peering Fabric, in a secure and quality-controlled IP environment.

 

Voice Peering Fabric supports a variety of emerging telecom standards, including IMS, SIP and ENUM. It is based on a distributed Ethernet architecture for peer-to-peer communications between connected organizations. The result is true transparency, all the way from data transmission to business relationships.
