Acme Packet announces that WIND Mobile selected the Acme Packet Net-Net Session Director session border controllers to securely connect WIND's VoIP core network with other service providers. The Acme Packet Net-Net Session Director enables a secure, flexible and interoperable SIP interconnect solution for off-net voice traffic, helping reduce costly origination and termination time-division multiplexing fees.

Using SIP interconnect, WIND's calls travel to other service providers over IP, which eliminates costly TDM fees and scales the company's VoIP interconnect relationships. The Acme Packet Net-SAFE's security architecture protects WIND from denial of service attacks and network overloads with access control lists, topology hiding and dynamic rate limiting.

The Net-Net Session Director's flexible routing capabilities helps WIND reduce session expenditures while optimizing subscriber experience. Acme Packet's interworking capabilities simplifies WIND's network operations, assures multi-vendor interoperability and accelerates the company's time-to-market.

Acme Packet's session border controller capabilities also include high availability, call admission control and quality of service capabilities to ensure network reliability. Also, with Acme Packet's feature rich and standards-based solution, WIND's network will be able to utilize key encryption, transcoding and interworking capabilities in the future.
