The new solution enables Turk Telekom to deliver Centrex IP and SIP multimedia services to corporate customers and small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) without having to invest in new infrastructure, said Nortel.
According to Nortel, the customized VoIP solution for Turk Telekom is based on the Nortel Communication Server (CS) 2000, the IP multimedia softswitch that supports a range of voice and multimedia business features and industry-standard VoIP protocols.
The end-to-end solution also includes customer premise equipment for end users, including Nortel SIP phones and the Nortel Business Services Gateway (BSG). The BSG is an advanced SMB router which integrates in one box routing, switching, mobility, security, quality of service and SIP gateway capabilities for voice and data services, said Nortel. These new capabilities include SIP Mobility extensions to integrate Turk Telekom’s GSM and hosted VoIP environments.
Mujdat Altay, president for Nortel Netas, said: Our relationship with Turk Telekom spans four decades during which Nortel has consistently proven its ability to design, deploy and support some of the reliable networks. With its latest IP powered services deployment, Turk Telekom’s corporate customers will be able to benefit from the latest VoIP and multimedia technology via wireless or wireline networks according to their unique needs.
As fixed-line and mobile calls are managed by the same network, Turk Telekom can offer simple and more affordable services that will increase personal productivity and allow more focus on their business.
