Italtel Presents Netmatch Products for Guaranteed qos Network Interconnection
MILAN, November 29, 2011/PRNewswire/ --
NetMatch multi-functional appliance is the answer to the needs of service providers
and enterprises in the field of advanced IP communications and smooth all IP
transformation. NetMatch products are used in the migration from TDM to IP networks, in
the migration of mobile networks towards LTE and in scenarios where voice and video
services in HD are provided.
Italtel presents NetMatch, a multi-functional family of products for guaranteed
Quality of Service (QoS) Network Interconnection between traditional TDM, IP and 3G/4G
networks, seamless migration from legacy TDM to all-IP networks and IMS architecture and
supporting HD voice and video.
Italtel NetMatch is the answer to specific needs that emerge from the market today in
terms of networks interconnection and new services. On the side of service providers,
there is a significant need for quality monetization, that is a way to charge the traffic
of customers and OTTs when guaranteed QoS is required. On the side of Enterprises and
Public Administrations, the need is growing to evolve from a basic voice communication to
a new communication that, taking advantage of mobility, extends to video and more
generally to collaboration and a social networking approach.
These requirements led Italtel to design, implement and make available this new family
of products with high performance, easy scalablility and able to manage the complexity
involved in the interconnection between networks and the related exchange of information,
which is accompanied with specific measurements and defined policies.
The world market of interconnection products is estimated by Infonetics in 2012 of
approximately $ 900 million with an expected growth rate through 2015 equal to 15% on
average. For the Italian market, the Italian Regulation Authority (AGCOM) in its recent
resolution on VoIP interconnection has identified a need for about 30 points of
interconnection for the next two years.
The architecture implemented by Italtel has an original and innovative value
proposition, with low power consumption, available in single or in high availability
configurations, designed to be future-proof because all products are compliant IPv4 and
IPv6 and allow on the fly upgrades without disruption.
""NetMatch is positioned in a highly topical area, as evidenced by the recent decision
of the Italian Regulation Authority (AGCOM) on all-IP interconnection and interoperability
of VoIP services - said Stefano Pileri [http://www.italtel.com/ShowContent?item06 ],
Italtel CEO -. The decision is a milestone not only at Italian but also at International
level, since it states that VoIP traffic with guaranteed quality has an economic value and
must comply with accurate interconnection and coding rules. 2012 is going to become the
year of general move to VoIP and possibly even of regulation of Video over IP. The growth
of video services and of Machine to Machine and their application on vertical segments
where performance is critical, such as Smart Grids and e-Health, is expected to make
interconnections between networks with guaranteed performance and quality more and more
relevant".
Thanks to NetMatch family, the network has, for example, the ability to monitor in
real time what is the bandwidth required between two points and the degree of utilization
of resources. If availability is not consistent with the request, it is possible to act in
order to dynamically balance the available bandwidth and to ensure the end-to-end QoS
defined by contracts. NetMatch thus represents a dynamic instrument for infrastructure
monitoring and for the monetization of the quality of services.
NetMatch products (described in this video [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONYvXk2QG48
]) are used in the networks migration from TDM to IP, the migration of mobile networks to
LTE and the scenarios that use voice and video also in HD with the necessary protocol
adaptations (from audioconferencing to video conferencing to telepresence).
The NetMatch family consists of:
- NetMatch-M - It is a Media Gateway that manages voice, data and video
traffic passing from PSTN legacy networks to IP networks. By a simple software upgrade
it can evolve to NetMatch B, thus allowing an high investment protection when needs
are changing.
- NetMatch-B - It is a Border Gateway for multimedia traffic, voice and
video, also in High Definition. Placed at the edge of the networks, it's specifically
intended for IP to IP communication.
- NetMatch-S - It is a Session Border Controller that allows an
interconnection at guaranteed quality between networks exchanging data flows. In the
High Availability version it employs the specialized boards that Italtel has
expressely designed for NetMatch B, while in the software only version can run too in
a cloud environment, particularly suitable for small telcos and enterprises.
- NetMatch-D - It's a Diameter Routing Server responding to the needs of
mobile operators during 3G/LTE evolution, able to manage the signalling interworking
either inside the network either in roaming scenarios.
The NetMatch products are integrated into Italtel architectures for Networks at
Guaranteed Quality, with advanced management tools for optimizing the operating costs and
the Quality of Experience.
NetMatch-S has recently passed interoperability tests and has been certified for IP
interconnection by a leading Italian Testing Lab. From 2012 NetMatch products will be
included for trial and operation in the networks of several Italian telco operators.
