Squire Technologies Deploys Cisco Compatible Media Gateway Controller into 50th Country

Telemach was looking to furthermore expand their network, and needed to establish interconnects with their existing Cisco based infrastructure, whilst maintaining the network’s dual redundant capabilities. Marko Miletic, Group Director for Voice Services, explained how Squire Technologies were able to meet their requirements, “Being the leading alternative provider of telephone service in Slovenia meant that we needed to be sure of the reliability of the service, whilst we as well wanted to continue using our existing Cisco equipment as we moved into the VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) market. Intrinsically, we considered many different providers for the Media Gateway Controller, including Cisco themselves with their PGW range. We found that the SVI-MGC of Squire was the most cost effective and crucially, an easy to implement solution.”

Sanjeev Verma, Squire Technologies’ Sales Director, was particularly pleased with the longevity of the relationship between the two companies, “Anyway you look at it we are happy that Telemach was able to meet their needs with our Media Gateway Controller, particularly in terms of enabling SS7 over their existing Cisco Media Gateways. The most satisfying element for us has been our ongoing relationship with SBB and Telemach, as we’ve been privileged to play a key role in working with them to develop their telephony network over the past few years. Thanks to our customer service and technical support we have turned a one-off purchase into a mutually beneficial on-going relationship which I am confident will continue for years to come.”

Initially released in 2004, the SVI-MGC is unparalleled in that it enables legacy third party media gateways just as those from Cisco , AudioCodes and Alcatel-Lucent, to be used in networks which feature VoIP. Squire Technologies as well recently reported record sales levels of the SVI-MGC, which they attribute to this compatibility along with industry developments just as Cisco announcing the end of life of their PGW series. The SVI-MGC is a suitable replacement for the PGW, as this recent installation for Telemach Slovenia demonstrates.
