ViaSat announced that it is supplying its Edge Access
Voice-over-Internet Protocol (VoIP) system to Grupo TVSA of Argentina, enabling
the CATV and broadband Internet provider to offer triple play services.
The ViaSat softswitch communication system delivers
end-to-end, enhanced satellite VoIP networking for broadband, enterprise
managed services, wholesale services, peering, and hosted applications.
ViaSat is also integrating a back office application
for administration, provisioning, and billing from IPVision called SIMA into
the Grupo TVSA network.
The combination will enable Grupo TVSA to launch services
in cooperation with three national subsidiaries: Teledifusora (Rosario City),
Megavision Santiago (Santiago del Estero City), Decoteve (Salta City).
The project involves deploying phone services on more
than 15,000 lines, including SS7 protocols for interconnecting with telephony
incumbents in the region.
Because our network infrastructure stretches across a
vast territory, we need IP-based provisioning and billing that is scalable and
cost-effective,” said Alfredo Argiz, general director, Grupo TVSA.
After a thorough evaluation of leading softswitch
systems, Grupo TVSA selected ViaSat because
they are providing the combination of a leading softswitch with an integrated
back office system, as well as local support and expertise.
Our system integrated easily with Grupo TVSA
infrastructure and is adding value and support to the company’s growth plans.
In addition, we thank IPVision for its work and support on this project,” said
Sergio Lastra, sales manager for Latin America, ViaSat.
Our strategic cooperation with ViaSat has allowed us to
provide joint customers with a carrier-class system that is completely
integrated with billing and back office applications. We expect the cable
market in Argentina to follow this strategy and launch triple play services
using our technology,” said Ivan Alizade, CEO of IPVision S.A.
Recently ViaSat announced that it has been selected by Bombardier Aerospace to provide airborne
communications terminal equipment as part of a new high-speed Internet option
on Global 5000 and Global 6000 aircraft.
