DE-CIX (News - Alert), an Ethernet-based carrier and ISP service provider, recently introduced its new DE-CIX NGN service, which is delivered to carriers over DE-CIX Apollon, a scalable Ethernet platform designed for larger operations.
Officials said that the DE-CIX NGN service offers carriers with a secure and reliable interconnection environment for the exchange of VoIP traffic.
Carriers are also ensured high-quality interconnection in a controlled and secure environment.
"As a neutral partner, DE-CIX's mission has always been to ensure the highest quality global Internet connectivity, and DE-CIX NGN further affirms our dedication to this mission," said Frank Orlowski, CMO for DE-CIX, in a statement.
The service addresses the pervasive quality and provisioning issues faced by carriers when interconnecting their VOIP networks. For carriers needing to connect VOIP calls around the globe, DE-CIX NGN offers affordable call routing via the Internet, where the call quality suffers a bit.
Customers of DE-CIX NGN only need to go through an interconnection test once and can then start sending/receiving traffic from customers and suppliers without the requirement for additional testing.
Operators, using the new service can also exchange traffic directly, avoiding the need to use third-party operators.
Transcoding and custom federations inside DE-CIX NGN are some of the additional features.
The existing DE-CIX customer base, representing carriers from more than 60 countries, can use DE-CIX NGN without the need to order additional ports.
Company officials confirmed that other providers can connect to DE-CIX NGN through DE-CIX's award-winning Apollon platform in all major data centers in Frankfurt.
DE-CIX's customer base includes players such as 1&1, Akamai, China Telecom, Facebook (News - Alert), Google and Telefonica.
Recently, TMCnet reported that DE-CIX North America, the U.S. arm of the German Internet exchange operator, announced that Akamai (News - Alert) is the first customer turned up on its Internet exchange, DE-CIX New York.
