DIGITALK announces SBC VoIP Peering, a high capacity and low footprint network solution for international wholesale services with a complete integrated operations support capability. Based on DIGITALK’s carrier-grade Session Border Controller for VoIP routing, DIGITALK SBC VoIP Peering incorporates full carrier rates management, automated routing, reporting and troubleshooting plus the unique benefit of an integrated prepaid engine.

DIGITALK has taken its broad experience of delivering solutions worldwide to the international long distance market over the last 10 years to distil in a single application the benefits of a consolidated routing, rating and management solution. Justin Norris, CEO of DIGITALK said “Based on our considerable market experience, we have developed a solution that directly addresses the issues carriers face with out-dated and inflexible solutions, and provides a very powerful and cost-effective platform on which to seize critical growth opportunities, especially in these leaner times.”

DIGITALK SBC VoIP Peering incorporates SIP and H.323 signalling interworking, media relay and transcoding, automated routing plan management, real-time prepaid rating, and full network and service monitoring and reporting. In particular, DIGITALK’s high capacity software-based transcoding expands the carrier routing choices available to a service provider while eliminating the need to incorporate and maintain external or third party hardware components.

Norris continues “We have followed our philosophy of consolidation of operations capabilities that are typically managed by third party solutions, providing a clear and compelling vision by addressing the complexity of wholesale service management and growth. Service providers benefit with both reduced operations effort while being armed for the platform to grow and diversify as markets transform.”

In addition, DIGITALK’s margin-based routing, coupled with a highly attractive operations user interface, enables carriers to ensure target profitability is achieved by responding rapidly to destination cost changes with routing plan or customer price changes. The DIGITALK SBC VoIP Peering application additionally benefits from DIGITALK's excellence in real time rating, enabling post- and prepaid customer charging options, crucially minimising fraud and revenue leakage risks for carriers.

With international VoIP traffic expanding consistently over the last 10 years, service providers need to manage the complexity of many carrier options with frequently changing rates while protecting service margins. The DIGITALK SBC VoIP Peering application provides a complete network and management solution that scales to meet the current and future demands of this highly competitive market.
