Italian-based telecoms solution provder, Italtel which is owned by Cisco, a group of banks and Telecom Italia, Thursday announced the availability of its ‘SIP Trunking as a Service’ solution for the Unified Communication and Collaboration. The solution which is based on the NetMatch-S Cloud-Inside Session Border Controller (SBC) is targeted for service providers’ business customers and can be offered via a ‘self-service’ portal.
Italtel said that the NetMatch-S SBC, developed according to the Network Functions Virtualizaiton (NFV) and Software Defined Networking (SDN) paradigms, is at the core of the solution and enables on-demand services to be initiated in a service provider’s network Data Center. This eliminates the cost of deploying the SBC at the customer’s premises, as well as additional maintenance and operational expenses, added Italtel.
