Stealth Communications, a company that specializes in voice peering solutions, recently announced that it won a 2007 TMC Labs Innovation Award from INTERNET TELEPHONY Magazine. The company was recognized for its Voice Peering Fabric solution.
The Voice Peering Fabric (VPF
) is a distributed Ethernet network that functions as a meet-point for service providers and enterprises to exchange voice and telephony-related services. This service from Stealth Communications is an economical traffic exchange environment that members can use to connect with one another, avoiding unnecessary delays and relays in the process.
Members of the VPF use the service to buy and sell voice origination and termination services, as well as ASP services while providing complete transparency. The service allows organizations to instantly identify all available networks and services at the most competitive rates. Members are able to then get connected to these networks and services within minutes by using the “fabric” component of the VPF. In addition, organizations can also access the VPF ENUM
and SRV Registry, as a toll bypass system, to send and receive free telephone calls across the VPF with other users of the registries.
Each year, TMC (News - Alert) Labs Innovation Awards are bestowed on companies that have demonstrated raw innovation, unique features and significant contributions toward improving communications technology.
“These winners have proven to the staff of TMC Labs that their product or service is truly innovative in the IP
communications industry,” said Rich Tehrani, president and group editor-in-chief at TMC, in a statement. “New companies, new products and new services in the IP communications industry are being created all the time. This award distinguishes the companies that make significant contributions in the advancement of this technology.”
Tom Keating, TMC chief technology officer and editorial director for TMC Labs, said that these awards are not based on company revenue or number of products sold. Instead, honors are given based on the concept that a given product or service is innovative.
“Stealth Communications deserves this great honor for creating a ground-breaking IP communications solution,” Keating said in a statement. “I look forward to seeing other innovative solutions from Stealth as the company continues to contribute to the future of the IP communications marketplace.”
