The Situation
|
Cable and Wireless International, the world's preeminent full service telecommunications provider in small to medium sized markets, has selected Sonus Networks as the supplier of its next-generation IP-voice network. Cable and Wireless International plans to deploy one of the world's largest IP-voice networks delivering primary line local, long-distance and international telephony service. Operating in 34 countries around the world, including 14 islands in the Caribbean, Cable and Wireless will initially deploy its Sonus-based network to support the Caribbean islands and Bermuda. In select markets, Cable and Wireless plans ultimately to replace its infrastructure with Sonus award-winning IMS-ready access solution. |

The Solution |
Cable and Wireless International is deploying a complete suite of Sonus IMS-ready solutions including both the GSX9000 and GSX4000 Open Services Switch, the PSX Call Routing Server, the ASX Access Server, the Network Border Switch for IP-to-IP peering and security, and the Sonus Insight Management System for advanced OSS and billing support. With the Sonus foundation in place, Cable and Wireless is positioned to take advantage of emerging IMS standards and to rapidly integrate and deploy next generation IMS-based services, one of the competitive differentiators in the Sonus based platform.
