MERA Systems, a forefront supplier of VoIP softswitches and session controllers, joined efforts with BlasterPhone LLC, one of the leading Brazil-based VoIP carriers, to improve traffic exchange between its ever growing clientele worldwide.

BlasterPhone, a USA-established international teleco, provides a full range of VoIP services including wholesale traffic termination. Committed to excellence in customer service, BlasterPhone needed a solid technology platform in order to improve traffic flow between its termination partners and customers in South America, USA, Europe and Asia.

After thorough testing of various vendor solutions, BlasterPhone decided to deploy MERA VoIP Transit Softswitch (MVTS) to enable sophisticated routing and traffic exchange between its POPs, termination partners, ITSPs and corporate users worldwide. BlasterPhone uses an add-on SIP-HIT module to provide two-way SIP/ H.323 translation and ensure smooth interoperability with customer and partner networks.

"We've tested various VoIP solutions before choosing MERA's MVTS with SIP-HIT. We were impressed by the improved performance of our network. Seamless VoIP traffic exchange in a multi-vendor environment is quite challenging and MVTS proved to be the best solution in terms of price, scalability, redundancy and ease of deployment", comments Ben Popov, Chief Operating Officer of BlasterPhone. "While deciding on the product we've also evaluated the technical support offered by various suppliers. MERA's engineers are true professionals, extremely efficient in providing necessary training and support in the process of installing, configuring and managing the solution. Working wit h MERA Systems is a pleasant experience as they are always ready to help and consider suggestions and demands for new features. We are looking forward to long lasting partnership with MERA for years to come".

"We are glad to team with BlasterPhone to provide a reliable and efficient solution that will leverage its vantage point in today's highly dynamic VoIP market", comments Konstantin Nikashov, CEO of MERA Systems. "Our expertise in VoIP technologies enables us to offer our customers best-of-breed solutions that satisfy their changing needs, help them to create new services and realize their business potential. We hope that MVTS will contribute to BlasterPhone 's growth and success and we will be there to offer higher capacity as BlasterPhone extend their global footprint".
