SS7 France Telecom Interconnect
With FT approval, deploying the software only SVI_MGC Media Gateway Controller provided a bridge between the France Telecom SS7 network and IP Directions SIP based service.
The SVI series of SS7 VoIP gateways & controllers have been adopted by major operators throughout the globe, and are designed to offer ease of use with proven interoperability. For any new entrant wishing to compete with multiple VoIP service offerings, France Telecom interconnect further extends the market opportunity, providing greater access to competitive IP solutions, for which end users are more commonly demanding throughout France.
Gilles Bernard, CTO IP Directions, Yerres, France. “We had a pure SIP requirement, and needed a signaling system able to present our SIP network as SS7 to France Telecom. The SVI MGC Media Gateway Controller fulfilled our proposal for a redundant system that supported our incumbent Media Gateways and was ready to support a future direct SIP interconnection, meaning we could future proof our investment without an expensive overhaul of our current infrastructure. The France Telecom approval means as a service provider we can press on streamlining our IP services to our fixed and mobile customers.”
Simon Dinnage Business Development Director, “We are delighted to have passed the France Telecom interconnect process, which was implemented smoothly and with time to spare, as well as thanking IP Directions France for their support. We now look forward to increasing our presence in France and working with operators seeking to deliver new and innovative VoIP services.”
