Sify deploys Squire Technologies’ SVI MGC solution replacing Cisco PGWs

Sify Technologies has deployed Squire Technologies’ SVI MGC solution to replace legacy Cisco PGW 2200 Media Gateway Controller solution.

The new solution will provide interconnection and routing between NGN IP and PSTN networks.

It is expected that the signaling solution from Squire Technologies will support Sify Technologies’ growth in the domestic and international voice traffic. It will also ensure investment protection by preserving the existing deployed base of third party media gateways.

Sify delivers broadband, voice and media services to more than 200 cities and metro areas across India.

 

Earlier, Cisco announced end of life to PGW 2200 Media Gateway Controller solution.

Birendra Singh, head – Voice Technology Operations at Sify, said: “We see outstanding growth in both domestic and international traffic, so needed a solution that would both meet current and future needs. Squire Technologies was able to replace our existing Cisco solution and provide us with the interconnection we need to service our customers.”

The SVI MGC solution currently supports more than 10,000 concurrent calls in a fully redundant architecture, providing the quality of service and call continuity needed to support Sify’s growing customer base.

SVI MGC is compatible with other third party media gateways that enables Sify to deploy additional transcoding capacity with gateways from Squire Technologies or other vendors.

Zacchary Couldrick, regional sales manager at Squire Technologies, said: “SVI MGC Media Gateway Controller enables clients to interface their VoIP networks to SS7 PSTN based telephone networks allowing the rapid launch of VoIP services.”
