ITEXPO Session Preview: Under the Hood of the Voice Peering Fabric
By Mae Kowalke, TMCnet Associate Editor
Many VoIP service providers are finding that the challenges associated with cost-effective routing of voice traffic are best overcome by using voice peering. The Voice Peering Fabric , run by Stealth Communications, is one of the best-known examples of such a system.
The Voice Peering Fabric is a collection of several independent components that help service providers overcome challenges associated with legacy telephony network structures and business models. The system is especially beneficial for wholesale voice minute providers.
Service providers interested in Voice Peering Fabric have an opportunity at INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO West 2007 next month to take a peek under the hood. During a session titled “Voice Peering Workshop – Inside the Voice Peering Fabric,” Stealth president and CEO Shrihari Pandit will highlight the elements of this system and explain their benefits.
Today, more than 130 billion minutes of VoIP traffic flow through peering arrangements like Voice Peering Fabric each year. This traffic bypasses legacy switched networks and the associated, expensive business relationships.
During the Voice Peering Fabric session (scheduled for Wednesday, September 12, 2007, from 9:15 to 10:00 a.m.), Pandit will explain what lies at the core of the system, and why so many providers are shifting their VoIP traffic to peering networks.
Pandit will also detail the reach of the Voice Peering Fabric, and explain how bi-lateral and multi-lateral peering relationships work.
