Telsis has supplied advanced programmable protocol converters to Vodafone Netherlands for connecting large company PBXs directly to the mobile network.
Aimed at corporates with a high volume of inter-site telephone traffic, Vodafone’s Corporate Net service delivers mobile and fixed integration, plus internal short-dialling for both mobile and fixed numbers, all at an on-net tariff.
The deployment of Telsis intelligent protocol converters widens the range of PBX types and signalling schemes supported by Corporate Net and will enable the roll-out of new functionality including advanced call handling and the playing of audio announcements to phone users.
The Telsis platform offers carrier-grade robustness as well as a development and support lifetime extending beyond 2010. One of a family of purpose-built intelligent telephony platforms from Telsis, the Ocean iPC can support up to 256 E1 links in a single cabinet. It is fully carrier-grade with all critical elements
duplicated and hot-swappable. The platform supports variable grading to maximise switch resources for typical call volumes and one-to-one mapping of E1 links between the PBX and network switch for high traffic volumes.
Ocean iPCs are already widely used by many other mobile and fixed network operators including BT, Jersey Telecom and Kingston Communications.
