IP Trunking

Faced with stiff competition for voice customers, fixed line operators are seeking new ways to become more competitive by reducing costs in their networks. GENBAND’s IP Trunking solution lowers network costs by enabling voice services to be carried over the IP core network.

IP networks provide significant cost advantages for transporting all types of communications, and operators in the last few years have made their IP core networks extremely robust and reliable. However, many operators are not yet using their IP network for voice traffic. This creates two parallel, disparate networks -- a very efficient IP core for data and a legacy circuit core for voice -- increasing costs and impacting operator competitiveness.

GENBAND's distributed IP Trunking solution provides a secure and cost-effective border between IP and circuit networks, lowering network costs by allowing voice traffic to be carried efficiently over the IP core network. This solution uses the C3 Signaling Controller for centralized, advanced routing and G9 Converged Gateways at distributed locations for voice and signaling transport.

With its high capacity TDM matrix, the G9 supports high quality, low latency tandem switch augmentation or replacement. The G9 also provides an IP matrix to enable a variety of trunking options, including cost-effective IP trunking between central offices as well as International gateway and VoIP termination services for new revenue generation.
