360networks Selects Netrake for Voice Interconnect Service

By Johanne Torres, TMCnet Contributing Editor


Netrake announced on Tuesday that its nCite Session Border Controllers have been chosen by telecom broadband services provider 360networks to support deployment of the new SIPConnect Service.
 
360networks’ SIPConnect is designed for cable operators (MSOs), ISPs, broadband service providers and VoIP service providers across the country.
 
The partnership calls for Netrake’s nCite Session Border Controllers (SBCs) to be installed at interconnection and peering points in 360’s network. The SBCs secure the network, ensure quality of service, and deliver Service Level Agreement (SLA) compliance.
 
Netrake’s system provides a comprehensive set of security functions for 360networks such as Denial of Service (DoS) protection, authentication, FW/NAT traversal, access control and network topology hiding. Netrake claims to be an industry leader in security functionality with its comprehensive secure edge solution that provides layers of security protection for the subscriber, the network and the application.
 
“Netrake's carrier-grade, fault-tolerant solution and industry-leading performance are imperative for the high quality requirements of the 360network's SIPConnect service,” said Rick Coma, senior vice president at 360networks. “Additionally, Netrake's proven focus on security and scale made them a clear choice for our network.”
 
360networks’ SIPConnect service suite offers higher-quality voice services, comprised of local telephone numbers, inbound and outbound local calling, domestic long distance, E911, local number portability, directory listing, operator services, and directory assistance. The service will integrate 360’s competitive local exchange status and robust fiber optic network with reach into tier 1, 2, 3, and 4 markets throughout the western half of the United States.
 
“We're thrilled to be working with 360networks to help expand and secure one of the largest long haul fiber networks in North America,” said Netrake's vice president of sales, Terry Orosco, in a statement. “The Netrake Session Border Controllers give 360networks the tools and scale required to offer its customers a secure suite of integrated next-generation IP services.”
 
Netrake made news back in March when the company, along with Kineto Wireless, announced the completion of interoperability testing procedures to support currently installed UMA systems. According to the companies, Netrake's nCite Security Gateway and Kineto's IP-based UMA Network Controller (IP-UNC) are currently deployed in commercial trials for UMA-based mobile/WiFi (News - Alert) convergence.
 
“Kineto is partnering with best-of-breed companies to secure UMA networks to meet the explosive demand for mobile/WiFi convergence,” said Tom Elam, vice president of network products for Kineto Wireless, in a statement. “Netrake's nCite Security Gateway provides a highly secure framework and industry-leading performance, resulting in more secure and reliable UMA services.”
