Telstar Selects NexTone's Session Controllers

Telstar, which provides wholesale VoIP services to international carriers and retail services to small and medium business, is implementing NexTone's session controllers in its global network to increase its VoIP capacity and provide more efficient routing of its traffic. Telstar has deployed the NexTone Multiprotocol Session Controller (MSC) in its global switching center in New York, as well as its international switching nodes in Italy, Spain and Portugal, using capabilities such as dynamic call admission control, SIP/H.323 interworking functions and network address translation (NAT). The session controllers resolve incompatibilities between other carrier's VoIP devices while providing control to route, process and manipulate session media. Telstar is also using NexTone's Network Analysis and Reporting System (NARS) as an adjunct to its proprietary network management system. Financial terms were not disclosed. http://www.nextone.comhttp://www.telstar-usa.com/
