Cedar Point Communications, the leader in integrated VoIP switching technologies for the cable and telecommunications industries, today announced that its SAFARI C(Cubed) Multimedia Switching System will be the first switching platform to be certified by Arbinet- thexchange, Inc. (Nasdaq: ARBX) for Arbinet's PeeringSolutions managed VoIP peering service.
PeeringSolutions gives global VoIP providers the ability to simply and securely manage access to their VoIP accessible phone numbers and the option to exchange VoIP traffic with their peering partners without the quality, complexity and security issues of establishing multiple direct relationships. Certification of SAFARI C(Cubed) will assure global VoIP providers that the Cedar Point switch will integrate seamlessly with PeeringSolutions' automated interface.
"Cable and telecommunications providers increasingly are eager to take advantage of the cost efficiencies and quality control that end-to-end SIP interconnections provide," said Dave Spear, executive vice president, strategy and market development for Cedar Point Communications. "Arbinet-thexchange's PeeringSolutions service will enable us to enhance the value and utility of SAFARI C(Cubed) to current and future customers by integrating it into a managed network that enables direct relationships among VoIP providers."
"VoIP end-to-end interconnection allows service providers to introduce new value-added services, improve call audio quality and lower interconnection costs," said Curt Hockemeier, president and CEO of Arbinet-thexchange. "Certification of SAFARI C(Cubed) with PeeringSolutions will enable our companies jointly to provide simple, cost-effective peering solutions for our customers."
PeeringSolutions allows a member to set up and manage direct VoIP peering relationships with selected partners. PeeringSolutions also offers the option to leverage the advanced Arbinet exchange platform to route VoIP calls to and from its selected community of VoIP peers and to complete off-VoIP calls to the world's leading fixed and mobile PSTN network operators.
The only totally integrated carrier class VoIP switch that incorporates all of the components that make up the voice switching infrastructure, SAFARI C(Cubed) provides seamless evolution to SIP-based features and an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) architecture. SAFARI C(Cubed) provides superior performance and reliability, significantly reducing capital expenditures, system integration and operations costs for cable operators offering telephony services while increasing network integrity, security and privacy.
SAFARI C(Cubed) is PacketCable(TM)-qualified and future-architected to fit within an IMS core network infrastructure, allowing network operators to leverage their initial equipment investment in voice as they introduce such services as video telephony and fixed-mobile applications. New applications can be integrated into SAFARI C(Cubed), or can be accessed via third-party application servers.
