New Features Promote the Convergence of the Public Switched Telephone Network with IP-Based Networks
WESTFORD, Mass., April 25 - Sonus Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:SONS), a leading supplier of service provider Voice over IP (VoIP) infrastructure solutions, announced today that the latest release of its award-winning IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS)-ready network solutions includes advanced support for the Electronic Number Mapping System (ENUM), a number mapping designed to streamline the convergence of IP-Based voice networks with the Public Switched Telephony Network (PSTN) and facilitate seamless IP-to-IP peering, resulting in significant operational efficiencies and cost savings for network operators. Sonus is one of the first equipment providers to include this level of ENUM support in an IMS-ready network architecture.
"IP-based voice networks have the ability to support a wide range of new applications and services that will change the way users communicate, while maintaining consistency - like the way people dial phone numbers - which is imperative to mainstream adoption," said Vikram Saksena, chief technology officer, Sonus Networks. "Importantly, Sonus is also one of the first solutions providers to enable direct connectivity between islands of IP networks through enhanced ENUM support, adding additional operational efficiency and cost savings for network operators."
ENUM allows telephone numbers to be routed through IP-based architectures such as IMS using a Domain Name System (DNS)-based architecture. ENUM and DNS-based architectures can facilitate interoperability for a wide range of applications including IP-voice video, presence, and instant messaging. ENUM is a standards-based protocol resulting from the efforts of the Internet Engineering Task Force's (IETF's) Telephone Number Mapping Working Group.
