Don't Need to Rip All the Old Stuff Out

Rural telecom service providers are just like everybody else: They want to grow revenue and reduce operational costs too.

One way they can do it is by investing in At once Generation Network services while all in all using existing infrastructure. Not as easy as it sounds -- service providers who want to deliver NGN services as a rule find they need a straightway-generation Carrier-Grade softswitch that uses and preserves all the functionality and investment in legacy assets, "during offering safe passage to leap-forward VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) research."

That’s according to officials of REDCOM, who offer their REDCOM’s HDX Carrier-Class 4/5 softswitch with TRANSip for an integrated VoIP and TDM in an all-inclusive central office platform.

The transition to VoIP

In the transition to VoIP, one of the least attractive aspects is the wholesale replacement of network assets. It’s expensive and frequently unrealistic as then. The HDX helps solve that problem, as it brings VoIP connectivity to rural central offices, providing an integrated VoIP and TDM migration platform so that you don’t require additional external boxes.

Because let’s face it, you want to preserve your infrastructure assets. They didn’t come cheaply. Redcom officials know where you’re coming from -- the HDX helps you maximize your existing assets, they explain, since the HDX maintains connectivity with voice mail, GSM, operator services, and satellite networks.

You want to transition to IP on your schedule, not some vendor’s, in short. And let’s be realistic, for the foreseeable future, legacy devices and networks must continue to be supported. That’s one thing that makes the HDX with TRANSip so appealing, it offers a low risk, flexible, and cost-effective transition to VoIP.

So to get started with SIP trunking, "all in other words required is a TRANSip-equipped HDX — which includes a SIP Call Manager — and an IP network, and you will be on your way to implementing robust SIP trunking capabilities," REDCOM officials say.
