Interoute and GENBAND to deliver IPv6 VoIP network in EuropeMar 22, 2011 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- Interoute, an operator of voice and data network, and GENBAND, a developer of IP infrastructure and application solutions, have announced an agreement to deliver an official IPv6 VoIP network in Europe. Supporting IPv6 through the S3 Session Border Controller (SBC), GENBAND will enable Interoute to extend its existing Carrier IP Interconnect and SIP Business Trunking solution reliably into its Next Generation IPv4 and IPv6 native network. "With better support for mobility and multimedia applications, IPv6 is crucial to enabling the fast growth of VoIP for mobile operators as every mobile terminal and application within these terminals can now have a unique IP address," said Matthew Finnie, CTO, Interoute. "We can now extend the reach of our network to mobile operators that are moving to IPv6 to complement our existing global interconnected IP network. We are pleased to join with GENBAND to build what we believe to be the first IPv6 VoIP network in Europe to date." By interworking between IPv4 and IPv6 while maintaining security and enhanced routing capabilities, GENBAND's S3 enables Interoute to interconnect operators and enterprises using IPv4 with operators and enterprises that are using IPv6 networks. Interoute's IPv6 network will offer secure Carrier IP Interconnect and SIP Business trunking (IP-PBX trunking and Microsoft UC SIP trunking) with enhanced dynamic routing and policy control while extending SIP and H.323 interworking capabilities to IPv6. Interoute currently offers business SIP and H.3232 trunking for IP-PBXs, Microsoft OCS release 2 SIP trunking and carrier interconnect using the GENBAND S3 SBC deployed in its Pan-European networks, with a presence in the US, Western Europe, Middle East and Africa. http://www.datamonitor.com Republication or redistribution, including by framing or similar means, is expressly prohibited without prior written consent.
