TransNexus (News - Alert), Inc. has announced that it has become a certified MetaSwitch partner, according to a press release. The company’s NexOSS advanced least cost routing application is now production proven with MetaSwitch (News - Alert).
 
NexOSS is a robust solution that helps service providers to realize greater profits. It provides MetaSwitch users with a quick and easy way to create new wholesale products from hundreds of interconnect partners. Service providers will be able to build new products from SIP as well as SS7 interconnections with the help of interconnect rates and Grade of Service parameters.
 
Established in 1997, TransNexus is an innovator of commercial and open source VoIP Operations and Billing Support Systems (OSS/BSS). Key features of the company’s solutions include Least Cost Routing, Grade of Service Routing, secure inter-domain peering, traffic analysis and control, multi-currency settlement, hourly profit reports and wholesale billing.
 
MetaSwitch is a division of Data Connection. The company is an industry-leading vendor of switching and applications solutions for both packet and circuit-switched networks. Its MetaSphere service delivery platform and applications suite supports a broad set of hosted IP communications services. At the same time, its core session control and media/signaling gateway products support a complete range of Class 4/5 softswitch capabilities.
 
The TransNexus NexOSS solution offers high scalability. It is compatible with routing tables with millions of routes. Additionally, the solution eliminates the need to export a proprietary routing table to a softswitch or session border controller, unlike traditional Least Cost Routing solutions. On the contrary, the softswitch or session border controller raise queries for the high performance TransNexus route server through a standards-determined interface.
 
The TransNexus route service operates in a similar manner to a Service Control Point (SCP) in an SS7 network. It offers scaling for extremely large routing tables, which are not restricted by the softswitch or session border controller hardware.
 
In addition to this, NexOSS facilitates rates provisioning from different carriers. It supports rate plans in all formats, including NPA-NXX, by LATA and OCN, by LATA and Tiers or others. NexOSS leverages the Telcordia (News - Alert) LERG to stabilize complex rate plans into a simple routing table that comprises eight digit routing or more. This guarantees the most effective routing destination in every call.
 
NexOSS also helps service providers realize the cost savings of Extended Local Calling (ELC) areas. It optimizes Least Cost Routing for inter-state, intra-state and ELCs offered by multiple carriers, thus helping customers to reduce their PSTN terminations fees to the tune of 25% or more.
 
TransNexus will be showcasing its product at the COMPTEL (News - Alert) show in Nashville, TN; February 24-27, 2008.
