Second Verso, same as the first

Representatives of Verso Technologies, a global provider of next generation network solutions, have announced that Latin American broadband Internet and telephony provider BroadBandTech has selected and installed the Verso MetroNet VoIP Overlay solution, including the Verso Back Office solution, an integrated back office application that supports administration, provisioning and billing.

Integrating and packaging a standard set of features and capabilities, the MetroNet VoIP Overlay solution includes the Verso Clarent endpoint and tandem switching technologies, in addition to other core capabilities and services such as the optional back office component that assists in managing the solution.

To facilitate efficient route management on the network, the Verso Back Office solution monitors and controls all traffic while also providing for account status monitoring and bill tracking. The solution also allows for rates (and routes to and from various interconnect carrier networks) to be updated dynamically, while supporting multiple rate plans. PIN generation for prepaid cards and corporate accounts in addition to providing Web interface enables customers to check account balances.

BroadBandTech is now using Verso’ Class 5 Softswitch, VBO, IP Centrex and voice mail solutions. The combination is intended to drive call control and signaling, provisioning and monitoring, hosted PBX capabilities and messaging services. BroadBandTech chief executive officer Carlos Mora commented that because the company has a network infrastructure deployed throughout a vast territory, BroadBandTech requires provisioning and billing solutions that are IP-based, scaleable and cost effective.

Morea went on to note that after a thorough evaluation of the leading softswitch manufacturers in the industry, BroadBandTech selected Verso because of the firm’s leading softswitch, fully integrated back office solution, local support and general expertise in specific problems needed to be addressed by BroadBandTech. Yves Desmet, senior vice president of worldwide sales at Verso Technologies, proudly declared that that this regional win “illustrates the vast range of Verso’s carrier portfolio which traverses the market for carriers.”

Having reportedly seamless integrated the solution, Verso and BroadBandTech are planning further improvement to the existing infrastructure together and feel the company’s growth plans can be supported.

Verso partner IPVision assisted and supported in the deployment. “This win for Verso will further establish its strength in the market while adding credibility to its portfolio to assist in other competitive situations. BroadBandTech will gain substantial functionality through the implementation of Verso’s solutions,” said Desmet.
