Voice Peering Fabric Reaches 200 Billion Minute Run-RateNEW YORK, Aug. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Stealth Communications today announced its Voice Peering Fabric (VPF) service reached an annualized run-rate of more than 200 billion minutes on Thursday August 2, up from 100 billion minute run- rate in October of 2006. The record growth in peering telephone calls is driven by demand for routing telephone calls using Voice-over-Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology and concerns over operating expenses in the highly competitive telecom marketplace using legacy technologies. "VoIP growth has been phenomenal this year, particularly consumer VoIP. We project that consumer VoIP subscribers will grow more than 70 percent this year, and that VoIP traffic and termination will grow even faster," said Stephan Beckert, Director of Research at TeleGeography. "No other peering network has demonstrated a stronger commitment in helping enterprises and carriers worldwide for the routing of VoIP traffic," said Shrihari Pandit, President & CEO of Stealth Communications. "Beyond the billions of minutes, VPF streamlines the interconnection process between organizations and provides an open marketplace with full control of security and quality." Since the launch of the Voice Peering Fabric in 2003, the unique model of the VPF has changed the landscape of the telecommunications industry by moving telephone calls into the IP domain bypassing both the public telephone system and the public Internet. With the security and quality attributes of the VPF, enterprises, government agencies and service providers have made the VPF their preferred platform for buying, selling & exchanging telephony related services.
