Algar Telecom has selected the Sonus Session Border Controller Software Edition (SBC SWe) to expand its SIP peering and SIP trunking services in Brazil.

With this cloud-native solution, Algar will have network-wide sharing of SBC session licenses and the ability to dynamically allocate SBC capacity.

Algar Telecom will be deploying Sonus SBC SWe and Sonus Insight Element Management System (EMS) as Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) in Algar’s network as part of its strategy for ensuring a Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) architecture.

“As a technology services provider, we have to be to be at the forefront of technology. We believe that network virtualization is the future, and that Sonus is the best and most reliable platform to deliver that future today,” said Rogerio Garchet, chief marketing officer of Algar Telecom.

The Sonus SBC SWe has been deployed in more than 100 networks to date.

Algar Telecom currently has more than 3,700 associates, and is present in all Brazilian main regions. It has over 19 thousand miles of optical fiber serving 1.4 million customers in the states of Sao Paulo, Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, Goias, Mato Grosso do Sul, Parana, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul, as well as the Federal District.

“By moving to a completely virtualized SIP solution, Algar Telecom is in a unique position to quickly and cost-effectively expand its footprint across a very large region,” said Federico Navaro, vice president, CALA Sales, Sonus.
