Colt selects Sonus Networks for developing next generation network

Sonus Networks, engaged in IP communications infrastructure, has announced that Colt, a provider of business communications, has selected Sonus to deliver the core IP-voice infrastructure for the next phase of Colt's next-generation network deployment.

Colt will deploy a complete edge to edge Sonus IP-based session control network with gateways in six major European cities. The solution includes centralized routing, and session border security for IP access and peering. The network is operational in London, Frankfurt and Paris and will extend to Zurich, Milan and Madrid by the end of summer 2008.

Colt will deploy the complete Sonus solution, including the ASX Access Server, GSX9000, the Network Border Switch, PSX Call Routing Server, SGX Signaling Gateway, and the Sonus Insight Management System.

Alireza Mahmoodshahi, chief technology officer of Colt, said: "We chose Sonus Networks following a rigorous and extensive testing and review process. We found that Sonus was the best partner for the session control technology which is robust, scalable and interoperable with our existing networks. We look forward to working with Sonus to support our next generation network rollout."
