Squire Supplies VoipQ with Session Border Controller and Their Innovative SQL Development Kit

Squire Technologies, the signalling specialists to the telecommunications industry, are pleased to announce that they have deployed a Session Border Controller for VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol)Q, one of Europe’s leading providers of VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) services to the SME sector.london 4 July 2012

The SBC deployment utilised Squire’s SQL Development Kit which allowed VoipQ to create their own service logic, thereby enabling them to make decisions on service factors just as routing and billing.

VoipQ, who are based in the Netherlands, were seeking carrier grade Session Border Controllers to furthermore expand their Wholesale VoIP business. In order to maintain their high-availability services, VoipQ needed a dual redundant system with the ability to dictate their own service parameters.

Ryan Kalkhoven, VoipQ’s Managing Director, explained that using the SDK was a decision made afterwards the SBC’s deployment, “We were looking for a carrier grade Session Border Controller solution. The Squire SVI-SBC ticked all the right boxes in terms of VoIP interoperability, price, installation and post sales support. Once we began to deploy the solution we shortly realised that the volume and complexity of the routing would be handled far better through an external SQL database. We spoke with Squire and they said this would not be an issue and that they would develop this functionality using their SQL Development Kit – the SVI-SDK. We now manage the database ourselves updating end points and routing through our back end office systems.”

Simon Dinnage, Squire’s Business Development Director, noted that the SDK is an increasingly popular service with Squire’s clients, “Traditionally, providers would deliver products just as the SBC with service logic already implemented via their own SQL databases. As the industry has evolved, we’ve understood the need to deliver a greater array of functionality to our clients, and the SDK is a natural progression for us. The SDK has seen the fastest growing demand of any of our services, which is understandable as telecommunication providers will always seek to implement their own best-practice logic, which is specifically what the SDK allows.”
