Service providers eager to offer managed voice and multimedia services over IP have been constrained by a number of technical issues. Managed IP-based communication services require solutions that provide secure connectivity to subscribers behind NAT (Network Address Translation) devices and Firewalls, and to other service providers across IP peering points. Solutions must also offer media transcoding capabilities when network operators pass each other IP media and signaling packets encoded using different standards. Newport Networks and Convedia have partnered to offer an integrated solution that overcomes network traversal and media transcoding issues. Newport Networks products provide critical session border control for IP signaling and media, while maintaining IP network integrity and security for both IP customer access and carrier peering applications. Convedia media servers provide adjunct media processing capabilities for the transcoding of audio media packets and DTMF signaling. Both products offer carrier class features including high availability, reliability, and performance, while the decomposed solution architecture offers the independent scalability and location of session border controllers and media server ports. “Carriers need session border control solutions, facing both subscribers and peer carriers, that include critical media functions such as transcoding,” said David Vant, VP Marketing, Newport Networks. “Interoperability with Convedia’s carrier class media servers allows us to offer large scale session controller solutions to interconnect IP network operators using different media encoding formats”. “Transcoding media and signaling formats
is an increasing need as carriers provide services via a diversity of
access networks and peer directly with other carriers to deliver end-to-end
IP-based services,” said Grant Henderson, EVP of Marketing and Strategy,
Convedia. “We are pleased to partner with Newport Networks, who
share a vision and commitment to carrier class IP communication solutions
based on open standards which overcome today’s important deployment
challenges”. Newport Networks' mission is to accelerate the commercial launch of IP telephony and multimedia services and extend their reach to a global market. The company develops the critical solutions that Service Providers need in order to sell managed voice and multimedia services over IP to business and residential customers. The Newport Networks 1460 session controller is a new breed of IP networking equipment that enables Service Providers to deliver increased value to their subscribers and capture new revenue more quickly by combining the best features of traditional circuit switched technology with that of the Internet. It provides the features, scalability, performance and reliability that Service Providers need to deliver successful managed voice and multimedia services over IP.
