Global Crossing introduced a Carrier VoIP Outbound Service in Europe that provides wholesale IP interconnection, transport and call completion of packet-based voice traffic over its network.
Global Crossing's Carrier VoIP Outbound Service is available using three different access methods. Customers can choose to connect either through Global Crossing IP VPN Service, IP Transit service or via the public Internet. The three access options allow customers to match Quality of Service levels to their requirements. The latter option also allows customers worldwide, beyond Global Crossing's network reach, to cost-effectively connect to the VoIP Outbound service using any public Internet connection for termination of traffic to any telephone in the world.
Global Crossing has deployed session border controllers (SBCs) to provide a secure interconnection point that protects both Global Crossing's and the customer's networks from each other. High performance is guaranteed because traffic is carried over the Global Crossing MPLS private backbone.
Hellas On Line, a Greek Internet service provider (ISP), is using the service to offer Internet-based services, including telephony and unified messaging, Internet connectivity, and value-added and content services, to consumers and enterprises. Global Crossing's Carrier VoIP Outbound service directly connects IP networks, enabling Hellas On Line to avoid the expense of connecting to TDM equipment.

The company said active Ethernet FTTP offers several significant advantages over BPON or GPON solutions, including the ability to deliver up to one gigabit per second 1 Gbps of bandwidth to each subscriber premise, rather than sharing the capacity via a 1:16, 1:32 or 1:64 split. Occam argues that active Ethernet makes more efficient use of expensive optical ports, allowing the telco to install lasers when subscribers order a higher bandwidth service and to add capacity only when the number of subscribers increases. Because there are no load balance issues as with PON splitters, telcos should be able to control bandwidth according to established service level agreements (SLAs). An active network plant enables location-based fault discovery from the central office using a handheld tester. Active Ethernet can support single or dual fiber topologies with a range laser power budgets. Finally, Occam argues that an active Ethernet architecture would enable a telco to maintain a mixed fiber and copper plant without a change in CO equipment.
