Russian Company selected VocalTec's technology to further develop its VoIP network. Through this collaboration, Russian Company can now seamlessly connect their legacy telephony network with VocalTec's new packet based network. The deployment was achieved in partnership with Sintera, a leading Russian systems integrator.

As part of their VoIP infrastructure, Russian Company will deploy VocalTec's Essentra BAX, an application server enabling the delivery of residential and hosted enterprise VoIP services to their subscriber base. In addition, Russian Company will utilize VocalTec’s Essentra CX, a scalable carrier-grade media gateway controller, to enable the termination of their IP traffic to the PSTN as well as for the termination of legacy PABX traffic to PSTN by CX (IUA and M3UA).

VocalTec is one of the first telecom vendors to receive comprehensive Class-5 certification for its VoIP softswitch solution, including certification for local node deployments under the new requirements issued by the Russian Ministry of Communications. This deployment provides further validation that VocalTec’s Essentra solution meets all mandatory quality, functionality, legal and interoperability requirements, for commercial deployment throughout Russia.
