TMCnet VoIP Routers Week in Review

- Alert) International acquired Ascade, an independent Swedish software company. By combining Ascade’s flagship trading and routing solution, Ascade7, with CSG’s Wholesale Business Management Solution, the company hopes to firmly establish a global leadership position.

“Our acquisition of Ascade will help us continue to deliver market-leading solutions that help our clients operate nimbly and efficiently," said Peter Kalan, president and chief executive officer at CSG International. "Our combined offering and global presence ensures that operators of all types – fixed, mobile, wholesale, broadband, MVNOs and ISPs – have a partner in CSG with the breadth of functionality and flexibility in delivery models to meet their current and evolving wholesale needs."

Also this week, Virtual PBX (News - Alert) announced new business VoIP packages. They feature costs reduced by up to 70 percent with the option to pay for a full year of service up front for furthered reduced pricing.

"Our new packages eliminate many of the concerns and risks related to deploying a high-quality business VoIP system," said Paul Hammond, CEO and president at Virtual PBX. "We're confident that these new plans deliver the highest value available today."

The National Airspace System received operational VoIP radio control capability this week from Harris Corporation. The system is now operating at the Federal Aviation Administration's Houston control center. Liberty RCE was selected by the FAA to overcome issues caused by the older RCE system installed at the facility.

"Liberty RCE’s flexibility enabled us to solve a technical issue that was encumbering our customer and reflects our continued commitment to providing the FAA with innovative solutions for their unique challenges,” said John O’Sullivan, VP of Mission Critical Networks at Harris Government Communications Systems.

Lastly, Ovum (News - Alert) recently released a report stating that the global market for Service Provider Switching and Routing (SPSR), which saw little growth during Q1, improved significantly in Q2. Furthermore, the industry should see even more substantial growth before the year's end.

Essentially, the gains made in the second quarter of this year should carry through to the rest of the year for a total growth of 4.4 percent or $15.4 billion. The flat growth seen in the first quarter was largely caused by different regions balancing each other out – for example, while North America's 13 percent growth was bogged down by Asia-Pacific's 0.7-percent loss.
