[May 24, 2012] France,United States : Bouygues Telecom Selects Acme Packet for IMS Network [TendersInfo (India)] Tweet (TendersInfo (India) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Acme Packet, the leader in session delivery networks, today announced that Bouygues Telecom, a leading fixed and mobile service provider in France, is deploying Acme Packet Net-Net Session Director session border controllers (SBCs) in its IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) network, supplied and integrated by Alcatel-Lucent. Acme Packet s SBCs fulfill numerous IMS functions at both the access and interconnect borders, ensuring security, interoperability, and quality in the network. Bouygues Telecom is deploying IMS to support multiple services, including migration of existing residential voice to voice over IP (VoIP), interconnecting with other service providers and launching new services, such as visual voice mail. The Net-Net Session Director fulfills critical IMS functional requirements at the access and interconnect borders of Bouygues Telecom s network. In the access network, SBCs provide the critical Proxy-Call Session Control Function (P-CSCF) and IMS-Access Gateway Function (AGW) for securing, interoperating, and controlling all SIP-based services to subscribers. The Net-Net Session Director provides Interconnect Border Control Function (I-BCF) and the Transition Gateway (TrGW) for controlling fixed and mobile SIP traffic at interconnect borders, encompassing both internal interconnection between Bouygues fixed and mobile networks as well as between the IMS network and other service providers. Bouygues Telecom is using Acme Packet s interoperability feature set that includes SIP normalization and SIP to SIP-I interworking that helps accelerate time-to-market and reduce operational costs as the network expands. Net-SAFE, Acme Packet s security framework, provides denial of service (DoS) attack prevention, topology hiding, and access control to protect Bouygues Telecom s IMS network and ensure service availability. Other key features include accounting for billing and traffic planning, as well as admission control, routing, and quality of service marking for service level agreement assurance. Acme Packet s SBC is a key part of our IMS network, built to enable innovative services and deliver enhanced customer experience to our fixed and mobile customers, commented Jean-Paul Arzel, Bouygues Telecom networks director. We chose the Acme Packet solution due to their culture of innovation, the rich functionality and scalability of its session border controllers, and the company s impressive track record in enabling trusted, high-quality VoIP, and IP interactive communication services. Acme Packet brings extensive experience in helping our customers build next generation communications networks, commented Mario Oliveira, Acme Packet s vice president of Europe, Middle East, and Africa, and Caribbean and Latin America sales.
