Sonus Networks announced enhancements to its network transformation solution assisting telecom operators for migrating their networks from a circuit to packet switched architecture.
The innovative offering from Sonus Networks helps telecom carriers modernize and monetize their network as they migrate from circuit switching to all-IP environments.
Sonus has integrated the Sonus Centralized Policy and Routing Engine (PSX) with the Sonus T7000 Intelligent Switching System to strengthen its network transformation solution.
“T7000 can leverage the advanced routing and policy features of the Sonus PSX, and receive benefits such as simpler network management, least cost routing, and smart policy controls. Mobile service providers can also obtain better network visibility and richer endpoint information via SIP,” said Ronald Gruia, director of Emerging Telecoms at Frost & Sullivan.
T7000 can bypass its internal routing logic on a per-trunk basis and use the PSX’s routing and policy framework. The T7000 provides call processing, service logic, switch fabric, media processing and signaling while the PSX determines route choices for call terminations.
Carriers can continue to rely on the strength of the T7000 while receiving additional benefits from the PSX, including least cost routing, intelligent policy controls, simplified network management, increased margins, and virtualized packaging for cloud-ready customers.
In addition to higher scalability, upgraded processors on T7000 blades enable customers to support higher session densities per codec and up to two times more sessions per second throughput. This means carriers can support more sessions on fewer blades than past versions allowed.
Sonus network transformation solution includes the PSX at the core for policy and routing controls, T7000 for flexible edge access and subscriber features, GSX9000 media gateway for high density trunking, Session Border Controllers for security and Diameter Signaling Controllers for network signaling.
Chris Yenney, general manager, Mobile Business Unit, Sonus, said: “With innovative features, such as centralized routing and next-generation interface cards, Sonus is making it even easier for carriers to begin their IP journey.”
