CNT Selects Veraz Networks Packet Telephony Solution

Veraz Networks announced that Central Telegraph (CNT) has selected Veraz Networks' Packet Telephony solution for deployment in the CNT VoIP Network. This solution is comprised of the Veraz ControlSwitch and the high-density I-Gate 4000 Media Gateway in addition to two application server solutions for calling card and public call centers.

The Veraz Packet Telephony solution enables CNT to deploy a next-generation network in the framework of its Multitel project implementation. The Multitel project supports the setup of a multi-service system for the provision of multiple services, including VoIP services, operating all over Russia. As the Veraz Packet Telephony solution successfully supports a multi-vendor platform, it was chosen to replace existing equipment that was not multi-vendor compatible. CNT can now accommodate traffic from multiple local VoIP providers with multi-vendor equipment without compromising toll quality or stability. The openness and flexibility that characterizes the Veraz platform enables CNT to quickly carry live voice traffic over its VoIP network.

Providing carrier-class voice quality and stability, the Veraz softswitch is a call control platform that offers traditional toll, tandem and local voice services, as well as new, converged voice-data services. The I-4000 Media Gateway delivers true wireline voice quality for packet telephony, while preserving end-to-end service transparency for voice, fax and data calls. This Packet Telephony solution delivers carrier-class stability leading to simpler operations and lower operating costs.

"By using the Veraz ControlSwitch and Media Gateways, we're able to quickly turn up new services and speed up deployment of our Multitel project," said Vaagn Martirosian, CEO at CNT. "Due to the stability of the platform, we can build out the network with confidence."

Tal Simchony, CEO, Veraz Networks said, "We are very pleased to be working with CNT and assisting them with the deployment of their VoIP network. Our unique Packet Telephony Solution enables CNT to address its need today for a fully stable and flexible platform to engage high-quality voice services like calling card and public call centers. As telecom service providers all over the world are in the process of evolving their traditional circuit-switched voice networks to converged, packet-based networks, we are their preferred choice to enable a smooth migration with an open, flexible, next-generation network."
