1 THE REFERENCE OF VOICE SWITCHING PLATFORM FOR MASSIVE VOIP DEPLOYMENTS, PSTN REPLACEMENT, AND MIGRATION TO IMS CIRPACK SOFTSWITCH

2 Carrier-grade Voice Switching The NextGen Way The Cirpack Softswitch platform is the next-generation telephony switch operators need to launch their next-generation services: Voip, triple play, Fixed- Mobile Convergence, etc. A UNIQUELY MODULAR PLATFORM Using carrier-grade technology, Cirpack has developed a highly modular and scalable platform, incorporating all the components of a powerful public telephony switch in a compact, standards-based, and easy-to-manage. Leveraging the range of Cirpack media/signaling gateways, carriers can design centralized or distributed architectures reaching small, medium, and large density POPs with the best price/ performance ratio. FROM TDM TO NGN TO IMS The Cirpack Softswitch platform is a unique Class 4 (CTRS: Core Trunking & Routing Switch) or Class 5 (CTAS: Cloud Telephony Application Server) solution designed to replicate the features of legacy voice switches. It enables existing TDM telephony services and equipment to be maintained in Next Generation Networks (NGN) for service providers to expand their legacy PSTN while delivering VoIP services and start migration to IP Multimedia Subsystems (IMS) architectures. FIELD-PROVEN TECHNOLOGIES The Cirpack Softswitch platform handles several of the largest european VoIP deployments. It has demonstrated carrier-grade reliability, offering primary line telephony services across very large and complex infrastructures. Service providers around the globe are building on Cirpack s extensive features set to deliver over broadband or maintain legacy telephony services via SIP, MGCP, or V5.2 access and handle highly demanding applications such as portability, interactive voice response or calling cards. 2

4 Cirpack Softswitch Platform Cirpack Softswitch Platform is a carriergrade Cloud Call Control, delivering advanced Trunking (Class-4) and Access (class-5) services across any broadband or legacy local loop and core network. SMALL & VERY LARGE NETWORKS The Cirpack Softswitch is the call controller, designed to offer primary line voice services over any broadband or legacy local loop. It is very scalable and can handle from 10,000 to 1,000,000 subscribers and from 32 to 8,000 E1, managing several million call attempts per hour (BHCA) from a single node, thus meeting operators demands for large and scalable network infrastructures. POWERFUL TRUNKING Working in conjunction with Cirpack Session Border Controller (SBC), it enables VoIP interconnection between operators and the connection of IP PBX with SIP. Thanks to media and signaling gateways installed across the voice infrastructure, the Cirpack Softwitch enables seamless interworking between the operator s IP infrastructure and the PSTN. It supports all SS7 local variants and its advanced voice routing mechanisms enable complex transit infrastructures to be deployed using both IP and TDM trunking. NETWORK FUNCTION VIRTUALIZATION (NFV) SOLUTION In addition to the hardware-software based platform, Cirpack Softswitch can also be delivered as a full virtualized solution based on Virtual Machine modules that can be run on any IT hardware selected by the operator network administrators. Cirpack virtualized Softswitch solution is compliant with ETSI NFV standard and compatible with the major virtualization hypervisors. OPEN & FLEXIBLE SOLUTIONS Cirpack Softswitch Platform also comes with lawful intercept, emergency numbers, and local number portability features for full compliance with regulatory requirements. It can be enhanced with third-party application servers connected via SIP, as well as legacy SCPs from intelligent networks via INaP CS1, to easily deliver value-added services from a single platform, leveraging the existing components of any carrier-grade infrastructure. IP TDM TELEPHONY Cirpack Softswitch is meant to deliver primary line telephony services over broadband infrastructures of any kind with SIP and MGCP. It can replaces legacy PSTN switches and deliver all POTS and ISDN services over v5.2 access networks to ease the migration of the largest PSTN infrastructures. 4

5 Advanced Applications for Broadband With its Softswitch platform, Cirpack offers operators the ideal solution to quickly launch feature-rich broadband services and easily migrate to an IMS when needed. FIXED-MOBILE CONVERGENCE When connected to a mobile infrastructure (3G/4G or WiFi), the Cirpack platform enables fixed-mobile convergence services that offer residential and business users unique experiences such as being able to choose their fixed or mobile phone to answer incoming calls, automatic routing of inbound calls to the proper terminal in the proper location, seamlessly placing and receiving calls over WiFi anywhere on the Internet, etc. Combined with the Cirpack Unified Communictaion application, the Cirpack FMC solution enables mobile PBx features even with legacy GSM phones. 5
