"By selecting Sonus' IMS-ready architecture and enlisting the support of its professional services organization, we're able to deploy a carrier-class long distance network that supports the delivery of converged services," said Brent Bourne, Chief Operating Office of IntelePeer. "The Sonus platform enables us to deliver superior quality of service and to interconnect securely and efficiently with other IP-voice providers. This is essential as more and more carriers migrate towards an all-IP infrastructure."
"As innovative carriers like IntelePeer witness increased demand for their services, they require a foundation that can grow to meet higher traffic levels without sacrificing quality of service and reliability. Carrier-grade applications carrying high traffic volumes during peak hours are where Sonus solutions really thrive and differentiate themselves from others in the industry," said Hassan Ahmed, chairman, president and CEO, Sonus Networks. "In addition to seamless scalability, IntelePeer has embraced Sonus' IMS-ready solutions to deliver operating leverage, carrier-class performance and reliability, and the ability to rapidly integrate new IP-based voice services for its users."
IntelePeer is deploying a full suite of Sonus' IMS-ready solutions, including the GSX9000(TM) Open Services Switch, the PSX(TM) Call Routing Server, the SGX(TM) Signaling Gateway, the Sonus Insight(TM) Management System, as well as the Network Border Switch (NBS). The new network will leverage the NBS for advanced IP-to-IP peering, session control and security. IntelePeer's initially deployed the Sonus-based architecture in New York, Chicago, and London earlier this year, with ongoing expansion into additional cities. IntelePeer has enlisted the help of Sonus' professional services team to support the turnkey integration process.
The IntelePeer network began carrying live traffic on the Sonus platform in August. It is now routing all traffic using the Sonus platform in conjunction with its SuperRegistry(TM) and Peering Grid services.
