Telstra Selects Metaswitch to Interconnect International Voice Network

Telstra has selected Metaswitch Networks to upgrade and enhance its TDM and IP voice network in response to the company’s growth throughout Asia-Pacific, Europe and the Americas.

Telstra’s Global Enterprise and Services (GES) business provides telecommunications services and solutions to carriers and multinational enterprises globally. It is a leading carrier in Asia-Pacific and facilitates access to more than 2,000 points of presence (PoPs) in 230 countries and territories.

Metaswitch products now used in the network include the MetaSphere Call Feature Server (CFS), the Metaswitch Universal Media Gateway and Perimeta Session Border Controller.

According to Stuart Warwick, SVP of support services, Metaswitch completed the cutover of Telstra’s international voice network at the end of 2014, just six months after the contract was signed.  He highlighted that “during the project, Metaswitch replaced TDM network elements with IP interconnect solutions in Sydney, Hong Kong, London and New Jersey, completing the work during one of the busiest times on Telstra’s network.”
