IP Centrex
Traditional Centrex services provide PBX services to groups of
users through local exchange carriers. Now, with IP connectivity
available across worldwide service provider networks, enterprises
have new options in consolidating their telephony and data services.
Today's enterprise can take advantage of converged network services
while eliminating the cost and operational management of internal
PBX systems.
IP Centrex services extend the reach of the service provider's
network into the customer premises, and enterprises gain efficiencies
from bundling their IP and voice services. The benefits to both
service providers and enterprises are simple yet significant:
- Service providers extend their reach into the enterprise
- The enterprise can reduce its capital expenses when compared
to hosted IPBX solutions, and they can gain economies of scale
with converged service packages, over traditional Centrex systems
- The enterprise can manage its own IP Centrex environments,
enabling self management for user updates and network features
- The enterprise can add new features much faster and more cost-effectively
than with traditional Class 5 switch-based Centrex environments
- IP Centrex can provide access to service providers' enhanced
services offerings such as unified messaging, conferencing, and
short message services.
Cantata’s provides platform for solutions that directly address
the need for converged voice and data services, where integration
reduces costs and improves call quality.
The Cantata Value Proposition
Cantata offers a range of carrier-grade, open services platforms
that perform critical media processing tasks for IP Centrex services
such as real-time voice mixing and bridging, IVR, playing announcements,
and a host of other features specifically designed to enable IP
Centrex services. The versatility of our platforms support these
services on any network, and allow network providers to transition
seamlessly from TDM to hybrid to all-IP networks.
Rapid Time to Market
All of our products support a rapid time to market, whether it is
because the network protocols are integrated into a single system
or because the product relies on standard based protocols. Cantata
products are open services platforms and offer features that encourage
rapid application deployment.
Flexible and Scalable
Whether you are trialing a new IP Centrex service on a single low-cost
server or want to deploy a high-capacity solution using a multi-service
platform or scalable blade server technology, Cantata has the platform
for your needs. Network operators buy only what they need today,
scaling up capacity seamlessly as demand grows. And, they have a
choice of development environments using a robust API or a SIP-based
approach. Service providers gain the flexibility to deploy the best
solution for their specific network needs.
Cost Effective
All of our products have been designed with keeping an eye toward
being cost-effective. Whether it’s a distributed network model
using Cantata’s SnowShore IP Media Server and the IMG 1010
in IMS environments or a multi-service model using Cantata’s
Excel Converged Services Platform (CSP) 2090 and Excel Multi-Services
Platform (MSP) 1010 where signaling and media are supported on a
single platform, the cost and complexity of implementing and operating
new services are reduced. Because we offer choices in working within
different networking architectures, service providers can roll out
new services quickly and cost-effectively.
Cantata Product Offerings
- The Excel Converged Services
Platform (CSP) 2090 is a carrier-grade integrated signaling
and media platform that provides application developers with both
IP and PSTN call control, media processing, and signaling, enabling
them to implement feature-rich, IP Centrex services. The CSP 2090
allows developers to build revenue-generating IP Centrex services
on a single platform bridging existing and new network infrastructure,
efficiently leveraging service provider assets.
- The Excel Multi-Services
Platform (MSP) 1010 is a highly flexible media resource platform
supporting TDM interfaces as well as fixed and mobile signaling
protocols. It is the newest addition to the CSP family of products,
offering a small-footprint, modern, modular design. It provides
high-performance SS7 monitoring, media processing, and advanced
DSP functionality for a variety of applications. Carriers can
use the MSP 1010 as an intelligent peripheral, comprehensive media
server solution or IVR unit.
- The SnowShore IP
Media Server is the industry’s premier software-based,
carrier-grade IP media server. Supporting SIP, VoiceXML and MSCML,
the SnowShore IP Media Server is designed to provide high-performance
media processing resources for conferencing applications in next-generation
wireline, wireless and broadband networks, and it offers support
for the IMS network architecture.
- The Integrated Media
Gateway (IMG) 1010 is an integrated media and signaling gateway
that provides any-to-any voice network connectivity enabling the
delivery of SIP services into legacy SS7/PRI networks, as well
as IP-to-IP transcoding for IP network peering applications. If
your IP Centex application requires an SS7 or ISDN interface within
an IP network, the IMG 1010 provides the media gateway function
for the SnowShore IP Media Server that allows your IP Centrex
application to work within this network configuration.
