Thomson's VoIP platform selected by Italian telco, Tex 97
Thomson has announced that Tex97, an Italian voice and data provider, has purchased its Cirpack VoIP platforms in order to offer primary line and business telephony services to its rapidly growing number of users.
Tex 97, a regional triple play operator with its own DSL network, moved onto the retail telecoms market in early 2005. With a client base growth of 100% each year, they wanted to invest in their own softswitch in order to increase capacity and reduce operating costs. Tex 97 have purchased Thomson's Cirpack class 4 and class 5 softswitches for advanced telephony services with connection to the PSTN.
"We were previously using Thomson's Cirpack platform via a wholesale provider and we chose to acquire our own because we were very impressed by the features and flexibility of the platform" said Stefano Rogna, CEO of Tex97. "The platform has always delivered very high quality services and has been very reliable and easy to operate. We now have complete control over our network and our PSTN interconnection."
"Our Cirpack VoIP platform is gaining a lot of traction in Italy, not only because it is very mature in managing primary line VoIP, but also because it can replicate the features of legacy TDM switches to maintain existing services in one single platform," said Frédéric Caussarieu, General Manager of Thomson's Network Intelligence Solutions.
Italy is a very dynamic VoIP market and according to analysts Dataxis, broadband subscription grew from 7.2 million to 8.9 million subscribers in the year to Q1 1007. However, regional operators are also delivering legacy ISDN services and various value-added applications using legacy technologies.
