UK's Gamma Telecom Deploys Marconi Softswitch

Gamma Telecom, an alternative carrier in the UK, is replacing its existing Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) infrastructure with Marconi's SoftSwitch platform. The full migration will take place over the course of this year. The Marconi SoftSwitch infrastructure will allow Gamma Telecom to continue to support existing Carrier Pre-Select and Indirect Access customers without the need to invest in additional legacy technology, while supporting new services. In particular, it will allow the operator to offer resellers the ability to provide new services to the SME market, such as instant messaging and new voice services, as well as hosted IP Private Branch Exchange services, such as IP Centrex. Financial terms were not disclosed.
