iBasis introduced a service designed to simplify and accelerate carriers' implementation of direct VoIP interconnections to the iBasis global network for international voice service. The company said its new DirectVoIP service provides rapid interconnects with international VoIP deployments in a matter of days, in contrast to activation periods typically measured in weeks for interconnects to TDM telecommunication carriers. iBasis provides enhanced call signaling control using standards-based H.323 and SIP, allowing operability to multi-vendor gateways, gatekeepers, proxy servers, session border controllers, softswitches and IP phones. Network peering is provided using signaling interoperability through protocol proxies and session border controllers. http://www.ibasis.com
