Metaswitch Joins Software Telco Congress as Diamond Sponsor TMCnet News Premier software specialist will provide unique insight at new conference helping service providers move from hardware to software
NORWALK, Conn. - May 7, 2013 - TMC (News - Alert) announced today that Metaswitch Networks, which focuses on powering the transition of communication networks into a cloud-based, software-centric future, has signed on as a Diamond Sponsor for the Software Telco Congress. The event will be held in Santa Clara, Calif. on November 19-21, 2013, and will focus on the impact virtualization and cloud computing will have on the multi-billion dollar telecom equipment market.
"The world's largest service providers are saying they want to virtualize critical network functions and very few companies have the ability to help them do this while maintaining telco-grade reliability," said Steve Gleave, Metaswitch's senior vice president of marketing. "What's more, even fewer companies have the ability to offer a path to carrier SDN controllers, which will be essential for optimizing resources on these new virtualized networks. We're excited about the Software Telco Congress because it gives us an opportunity to tell our story to network operators and others building scalable video and voice applications." Metaswitch Networks has a 30-year track record of solving tough technical problems for traditional and emerging network operators. Today, Metaswitch is developing openly programmable solutions that run on standard hardware or in virtualized environments and act as the key control points in elastic voice, video and data networks. Metaswitch has become the premier software specialist helping service providers become 'software telcos,' whether they are looking to move to IP for the first time, virtualize critical network functions or go all-in on an openly-programmable cloud network.
"The Software Telco Congress is the global meeting place for telecom's move to NFV and virtualized communications service provider solutions of the future," said Rich Tehrani (News - Alert), CEO of TMC. "The industry expertise that Metaswitch Networks brings to the table will be a great addition to the Software Telco agenda."
Software Telco Congress is also supported by Diamond Sponsors ADTRAN (News - Alert) and Alcatel-Lucent.
