Transcom Enhanced Services, a wholesale provider of domestic and international IP communications, purchased 87,000 ports of Veraz' I-Gate 4000 and I-Gate 4000 Pro media gateways to replace its installed base of Cisco System's media gateways across the US. Transcom is also increasing the softswitch capacity of its previously deployed Veraz ControlSwitch to 87,000 ports. Transcom is rolling out a Global Carrier Peering (GCP) architecture that effectively doubles its VoIP capacity. The GCP solution enables Transcom to support traffic processing and delivery using any combination of signaling: H.323-H.323, H.323-SS7, H.323-PRI, SIP-SIP, SIP-H.323, SIP-PRI, SIP-SS7, SS7-PRI, SS7-SS7, PRI-PRI, and others. All of these types of calls are managed using a common routing, call control, billing and management framework from a central location and eliminates the limitations of H.323 Gatekeeper-centric H.323-H.323 peering. Financial terms were not disclosed.

- In June 2003, Veraz Networks announced customer deployments with vNet Source Inc., a provider of next-generation telephony services in the U.S., and BtNAccess, a wholly owned subsidiary of PCCW. vNet Source has deployed Veraz Networks' ControlSwitch softswitch platform and I-Gate 4000 media gateways for its greenfield VoIP network. The BtNAccess distributed voice over IP network spans the U.S., Europe and Asia-Pacific with the ControlSwitch positioned in the U.S. to manage I-Gate 4000 media gateways located in their POPs around the world.
