Core Network
The core network is the
heart of the SMVP operation. It is what provides all the
services to the end-users. The core network is located in a
professional hosting facility with redundant power,
internet and 24x7 monitoring.
The elements that make up the core network are all state of
the art hardware and software components.
The web application servers allow URSYS to interface to
their billing system via real-time XML to query subscriber
information and call detail records in real time.
The billing system is based on the ISPhone platform
which provides real-time call rating and reporting.
The softswitch system is based on the ENTICE softswitch
family, which provides integrated softswitch, session
control, media services and local call features.
The voice mail system provides voice mail storage and
retrieval together with an Integrated Voice Response
service over the VoIP network.
Satellite Trunk
Telephony
At a minimum, URSYS
provides a Trunk Telephony VoIP connection via an IPSEC
tunnel into the PSTN for ALL their VoIP traffic. If this
Trunk Line is to be delivered via Satellite URSYS uses a
trunk gateway device, like the Skywire PBX1, to collect
VoIP SIP packets, compress them into a G.729 codec data
stream, wrap them a IPSEC tunnel and deliver them at
“wire speed” to any other G.729 standard
gateway. Skywire Trunk Telephony delivered this way is
vastly different from VoIP products from Internet based
consumer providers, where SIP packets are simply jettisoned
into the Internet. Voice quality from providers using
non-trunked methods depends entirely upon network
congestion at the time and the resulting packet loss due to
collision.
In addition, URSYS has already integrated their billing
systems and customer care systems to the SMVP platform via
XML to improve our service response times.
