Infracom Italia, a leading telecom and data services and ICT outsourcing provider based in Verona which has 10,000 network points across Italy, has successfully migrated and consolidated three of its previous TDM and VoIP networks to a single all-IP infrastructure built on Metaswitch. Metaswitch Networks' solution allowed Infracom to consolidate its legacy TDM platforms, older softswitches, feature servers and IP Centrex systems -- all from different manufacturers with varying degrees of support -- to a single network architecture backed by Metaswitch’s expert support services.
Metaswitch notes that the carrier needed full PSTN equivalence, including toll-quality voice and carrier-class levels of reliability with complete hardware and software redundancy to support the network transformation exercise. The enhanced network will need to support more than 20,000 business and residential customers. It also needed a network flexible enough to offer IP-based services and unified communications in the near future, with the right level of support to get those services to market quickly.

“We’re pleased that Infracom chose Metaswitch to help it consolidate and modernize its voice network," says Ben Miller, senior vice president of international sales at Metaswitch. We’re confident that as Infracom’s network grows and evolves, we’ll not only provide the carrier with service continuity but we’ll help it accelerate the roll-out of new high-value services that continue to attract and retain subscribers."
"At Infracom we are building a modern carrier that provides connectivity, IT services and data center capabilities all in one place, removing complexity from our customers' lives," says Pierpaolo Cristofori, CEO of Infracom. "We rely on vendors like Metaswitch because they help us significantly simplify our network architecture. They are saving us operational expenses and putting us in a terrific position to provide superior service, create innovative new products and grow our business."
