Unified Messaging
Remember when messaging meant that you had received a recorded
message on your answering machine? Today, the scope of services
and level of sophistication associated with unified communications
are mind-boggling, creating opportunities for exciting services
and new sources of revenue for carriers.
Today's unified messaging services are deployed in wireline, wireless,
and IP-based networks. Full-service unified messaging incorporates
voice mail, video mail, instant messaging, conferencing, email,
fax, and images. The Cantata’s platform solutions enable carriers
to reach the widest audience with a broad portfolio of rich enhanced
services.
The Cantata Value Proposition
Cantata offers a range of carrier-grade, open services platforms
that perform critical media processing specifically designed to
enable unified messaging services. The versatility of our platforms
support messaging applications 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 unified messaging 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, network-based unified messaging
services. The CSP 2090 allows developers to build revenue-generating
unified messaging 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 media processing and advanced DSP functionality
for unified messaging applications. Carriers can use the MSP 1010
as an intelligent peripheral, comprehensive media server solution
or IVR.
- 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 unified messaging 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 unified
messaging 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 unified messaging
application to work within this network configuration.
