InfiniRoute Networks Launches First VoIP Peering Service with Voice Quality Control SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Aug. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- InfiniRoute Networks Inc. (http://www.infiniroute.com/) today announced the general availability of its Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) peering service based on the InfiniRoute Managed Voice Platform (MVP). InfiniRoute's MVP becomes the industry's first carrier- neutral VoIP peering service to integrate and manage voice and IP routing for wireline, wireless, and emerging carriers.With this release, InfiniRoute continues to pioneer a business-needs based approach to managing the technical, operational, and commercial complexity of worldwide carrier interconnections. MVP's integrated IP route optimization technology protects carriers from quality of service degradations associated with IP network performance problems, ensuring the best voice quality available to global destinations. As a transparent service, MVP helps carriers build and maintain private commercial relationships with VoIP termination partners while simultaneously taking advantage of the public VoIP wholesale interconnect marketplace. Specifically, the MVP VoIP Peering Service offers carriers four distinct benefits: - Greater access to global markets. Carriers without extensive TDM networks can now economically reach international termination partners. - Lower cost of operations. Carriers can leverage VoIP to deliver traffic at lower costs over a scalable and inexpensive packet-based infrastructure. - Reduced technology risk. InfiniRoute's proven solution lowers capital expenditures associated with emerging technologies. - Faster time to market. The fully managed service, combined with InfiniRoute's VoIP expertise, enables TDM-based carriers rapid entry into the VoIP world. "Carriers are looking to deploy VoIP services to increase revenues, find new business partners and lower their total cost of service," said Ben Holzemer, senior vice president of marketing and business development for InfiniRoute Networks. "But deploying VoIP is far more complex than just buying equipment or software and stitching it all together. Using our managed VoIP peering service, InfiniRoute customers have affordable and easy access to the benefits of VoIP technology." Key features of the VoIP peering service include: - VoIP Route Management: InfiniRoute Networks ensures that all routes are up and performing adequately. Outages are resolved according to the industry's most vigorous service level agreements (SLAs), redistributing traffic to other termination points as necessary. - VoIP Route Provisioning: Customers can provision new routes by simply entering new routing information using InfiniRoute's web based forms. - Intelligent IP Routing: InfiniRoute monitors traffic for round trip time, latency, packet loss, and jitter by destination and route. Network degradations are immediately identified and traffic is re-routed to a path providing better voice quality. Historic and graphic data is easily available for trend analysis. - 24/7 Network Operations Center (NOC): InfiniRoute technicians are constantly available to manage and monitor your network and help troubleshoot problems. "MVP enables carriers to leverage the inherent cost efficiencies and global reach of VoIP, delivered in a scalable and reliable service package," added Holzemer. "It allows the carrier to start delivering VoIP traffic to global destinations quickly without gambling a big capital investment on equipment that might not keep up with this rapidly evolving technology. They benefit from predictable revenue streams while saving capital funds for growth." The market for VoIP is set to grow 52% as the industry moves from trial mode to commercial deployments, according to Infonetics Research, while Juniper Research predicts that revenue from the overall VoIP market will grow from $4.54 billion in 2004 to $20.09 billion in 2009.
