Plano, Texas-based next-generation IP infrastructure solutions provider GENBAND Inc. has reportedly introduced the SR3 Routing Proxy solution. A turnkey solution for domestic peering, international long distance and VoIP wholesale, the GENBAND (News - Alert) SR3 has been designed and tested for high-capacity routing. The solution is effective in managing the routing of high volume SIP-based communications across mobile and fixed-line IP-IP and IP-TDM service provider networks.

 

Interoperable with GENBAND’s session border controllers (SBCs) and signaling controllers, the SR3 delivers higher traffic volumes, with higher call profitability and superior management control. The solution integrates with GENBAND’s S3 SBC/GenView Real-Time Session Manager (RSM) solution, as well as the combined C3 (News - Alert) Signaling Controller/G9 Gateway Converged Gateway solution, providing comprehensive routing support for international and US domestic carriers while blending TDM to IP and IP to IP networks.

 

Equipped with an N+1 cluster architecture that handles 250 calls per second on each server, 10 million routes and 100 million rates, the GENBAND SR3 solution provides almost unlimited scale and exceptional performance. The solution can be effectively used to bring down manpower requirements and enhance the efficiency of switching platforms, as it offloads heavy routing functionality with better tools to efficiently manage routing decisions. The SR3 also cuts down port usage from six to four by allowing devices such as class 4 controllers and SBCs to route calls. In addition, the SR3’s delivers dynamic least-call routing, profit-based routing, jurisdictional/percentage-based routing plans and customer-specific rate plans based on traffic type.

 

“We’re very pleased to provide a routing proxy solution to the market that is cutting-edge both in terms of scale and in return on investment for service providers,” said Mehmet Balos (News - Alert), chief marketing officer at GENBAND, in a release. “By enabling service providers to enforce the most profitable route for every call and free switch platform capacity, we estimate that SR3 customers will be able to gain additional margins as high as 10 – 12 percent by routing and ‘buying’ more discretely. Especially in today’s economy, that’s a significant payoff.”

 

GENBAND has a proven track record catering to 50 of the world’s largest service providers by providing its next-generation IP media, session border and fixed mobile convergence security solutions.
