InfiniRoute Launches VoIP Peering Service with Route Control

InfiniRoute Networks, a start-up based in San Francisco, launched a carrier-neutral VoIP peering service for wireline, wireless, and emerging carriers featureing route control functionality. The service, which runs over InfiniRoute's own Managed Voice Platform (MVP), provides an interconnection infrastructure that allows carriers to exchange VoIP traffic with global partners.



InfiniRoute Networks said the IP route optimization technology used in its MVP protects carriers from quality of service degradations associated with IP network performance problems. InfiniRoute ensures that all routes are up and performing adequately. Outages are resolved according to service level agreements (SLAs), redistributing traffic to other termination points as necessary. InfiniRoute also monitors traffic for round trip time, latency, packet loss, and jitter by destination and route. Network degradations are identified and traffic is re-routed to a path providing better voice quality. Historic and graphic data is available for trend analysis. http://www.infiniroute.com

  • InfiniRoute Networks was established in 2004 through the merger of two other start-ups: IP Deliver and Proficient Networks. Established in 2001, Proficient Networks provided a platform that measures end-to-end IP network performance, responds quickly to automatically fix problems and prevents network congestion. Established in 2002, IP Deliver provided comprehensive VoIP network management services.
