VocalTec to Provide Voice Services in Latin America

VocalTec Communications has reported that its VoIP technology has been selected by PTT in Latin America to provide voice services over its WiMAX network.

The deployment involves the provision of VoIP/NGN services over a WiMAX access network, and includes the Essentra iCX media gateway controller; a carrier grade system offering voice services.

Featuring an open architecture and interfaces to non-proprietary media devices and application servers, Essentra will facilitate the creation of network services. It’s embedded Megaco/H.248 control and Sigtran (M3UA) support provides an integrated IMS/TISPAN SIP-to-SS7 solution.

Yosi Albagli, president and CEO at VocalTec, said: “We are excited at having successfully deployed VocalTec VoIP in this WiMAX deployment. Our solutions are highly suited to the needs of emerging telecom markets, where WiMAX technology is expected to play an important role, and we look forward to further integrating and providing our VoIP solutions in additional WiMAX deployments.”
