Covad Communications Deploys TransNexus Intelligent Routing Solutions
October 9, 2009 Atlanta, GA – TransNexus, a global leader in optimized VoIP
routing, today announced that Covad Communications, a leading national provider
of voice and data communications, has deployed TransNexus’ NexOSS/OSPrey
solution to enhance its application delivery infrastructure and increase the
quality and profitability of its service offerings.
To maximize the quality and efficiency of a network, TransNexus is an ideal
choice for least-cost routing, number portability, reporting and profit
analysis. The TransNexus software
platform provides a complete Billing and Operations Support System (BOSS) for
wholesale VoIP networks. The
following diagram illustrates a typical VoIP network.
Customers access a VoIP network through an Integrated Access Device (IAD)
and router which provides a single point of connection for voice and data
services. Voice services are
managed by multiple softswitches which provide traditional and advanced telecom
services. Calls to other telephone
networks are routed via session border controllers (SBCs) at the edge of the
network. For each outbound call,
the SBC queries the TransNexus platform for optimized routing and number
translation instructions.
The TransNexus platform provides a centralized point for optimized routing based
on cost, grade of service, jurisdiction (inter/intra-state), number portability
correction, time of day and day of week.
Designed with a distributed architecture, TransNexus route servers
operating in parallel offer very high availability at low cost.
A single quad core Xeon server can route and collect Call Detail Records
(CDRs) for over 500 calls per second.
Call detail records for every call attempt are streamed to the TransNexus
platform for mediation, rating and reporting.
Quality of Service triggers analyze quality statistics by destination and
can automatically remove destinations from the routing table when their quality
of service falls below preset thresholds.
Near real time profitability reports give operators the ability to drill
down on rated CDR data to view profitability by customer, by provider, by route
and by time of day.
“Covad canvassed the vendor space for intelligent routing platforms, and based
on feature/functionality, a fair price, and an excellent ROI, we chose
TransNexus,” said Jake Heinz, vice president and general manager, Covad VoIP.
