XConnect has certified a family of MERA Systems softswitches, including MVTS II (MERA VoIP Transit Softswitch) and MVTS Pro (MERA VoIP Transit Softswitch Professional).
Testing has certified the interoperability of the MVTS family, a product line of carrier-grade Class 4 softswitches with routing flexibility, whose models feature an integrated prepaid billing platform, advanced transcoding capabilities and a geographically distributed architecture.
Certification through the XConnect Ready Partners Program establishes that service providers deploying the MVTS softswitching family can search XConnect’s ENUM registry for session-routing information. The designation also means that the switches’ routing and peering functions work securely and seamlessly for all members of XConnect federations.
By peering through XConnect federations, the company says service providers achieve the all-IP transport necessary to carry converged, revenue-rich, next-generation voice-and-data services, such as high-definition voice and video, between networks. Avoiding PSTN hops between networks also reduces transit costs.
