MetaSwitch Achieves First RUS Listing for Packet Voice Switch

The MetaSwitch VP3500 Next Generation Class 5 Switch has been accepted for listing by the United States Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service (RUS).



The RUS listing follows a successful field trial with Yukon Telephone in Whittier, Alaska - the first such trial to include VoIP served natively by a Class 5 switch. The trial network included support for VoIP to Occam Networks Broadband Loop Carrier equipment, as well as traditional POTS lines via GR-303 from AFC's AccessMAX multi-service access platforms. http://www.metaswitch.com
