XConnect and carrier ENUM-registry services announce availability of the first IP eXchange platform to offer seamless integration with PathFinder, the GSMA’s Number Translation Service, enabling interoperability and convergence between fixed and mobile networks.

A full suite of IPX services is available within XConnect’s national federation environments in North America, Korea, Europe and South Africa, as well as accessible from XConnect’s points of presence globally.

Based on standards and specifications developed by the GSMA, the XConnect IPX platform enables network operators to optimize routing and signaling and deliver new IP services via a high-quality, secure, managed IP connection with support for multiple commercial models.

The XConnect platform offers a global, trusted IPX hub with benefits including:

• Support of multiple services – voice, data and signaling – over a single IP connection underpinned by policy control between network operators.
• Improved voice quality and support for higher-value multimedia services, such as high-definition voice and video, on a cross-network basis.
• Full integration with the GSMA’s PathFinder Service through the existing XConnect SuperQuery capability.
• Highly-available, globally-distributed carrier ENUM registry deployments, on both a local and hosted basis.
• Reduction of capital and operating expenses, transit charges, and resource requirements for managing peering relationships and maintaining network connectivity.
