PortaOne – MERA Systems (News - Alert) Jointly Offer End-to-End VoIP Traffic Solution PortaOne –and MERA Systems, a provider of carrier-grade Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) solutions, have reportedly completed interoperability testing for two VoIP network products: MERA VoIP Transit Softswitch Pro (MVTS Pro) and PortaBilling100.

 

MVTS Pro is MERA Systems' class 4 softswitch and session border controller platform and provides collection, switching and transcoding of VoIP traffic, management of signaling and media data streams, as well as border access control. The softswitch can process up to 1,000 new calls per second, officials claimed.

 

TMCnet recently reported that MERA VoIP Transit Softswitch I (MVTS I), which had been the most popular softswitch from the company, is now being replaced by MVTS Pro.

 

PortaBilling100 is PortaOne's (News - Alert) carrier-grade service management and billing solution. It uses real-time authorization, authentication and billing engine to provide AAA services via the RADIUS protocol and allows IP telephony providers to launch, price and provision their services immediately.

 

PortaBilling100 also supports Caller-ID (ANI) based billing, information on priority-based and least-cost routing, CDR processing, and advanced statistics such as cost/revenue and ASR.

 

Officials claimed that the integrated solution, which combines the high-performance management of VoIP traffic with a total billing and customer management solution, provides an ultra-scalable, flexible and end-to-end platform for handling VoIP transit traffic.

 

MERA Systems and PortaOne have been partners for four years.

 

“Our two companies have demonstrated a joint commitment to providing customers with cost-effective, reliable and up-to-date solutions that develop our customers' businesses,” said Konstantin Nikashov, CEO of MERA Systems, in a statement.

 

Nikashov further said that in this challenging economic environment, it's vitally important for carriers to benefit from traffic handling. “The combination of highly reliable solutions from top-name vendors is a cornerstone of any business success.”

 

According to Roman Khalenkov, sales and marketing director for PortaOne, PortaBilling100 and MVTS Pro offer an unusually strong fit for carriers and service providers.

 

Their features complement each other perfectly, creating a scalable, easy-to-manage environment with painless integration using open protocols, Khalenkov added.
