The deployment of Squire Technologies products and utilisation of our specialist signalling services will deliver the following immediate benefits in a VoLTE network:
Optimal use of radio bandwidth delivering substantial cost savings
Voice quality assurance
Rapid support for multi-vendor VoLTE handsets
Enable multi-device, single-number services
Enable Rich Communication Services RCS(e) to SMS inter-op
Enable seamless 4G to traditional VoIP / 2G / 3G / PSTN interconnect
Ongoing support for the rollout of new and innovative VoLTE services
At the signalling core of a VoLTE network is our SVI-SBC Session Border Controller product. The SVI-SBC acts as both a proxy and a B2BUA allowing it to dynamically manage signalling and media traffic that needs translating in the core of the network whilst proxying the remaining traffic. With half a decade of international carrier-grade deployment the SVI-SBC can guarantee optimised signalling interconnect in a VoLTE network delivering:
Support for VoLTE Pre-Conditions
– Manage end-to-end bandwidth with support for VoLTE pre-conditions
– Insure Voice Quality
– Rapidly deploy new VoLTE handsets and manage interconnect issues from handset OS upgradesSupport for multi-device, single-number services
– Manage multiple subscriber registration for softphone app’s across multiple devices – tablets, laptops, mobiles
– Manage subscriber forking on calls across multiple devices on multiple networks
– Retain a single number per subscriberSupport for signalling and media inter-op with traditional VoIP devices and App enabled softphones
– SIP signalling inter-op and media transcoding between AMR, AMR-WB, Opus and G711, G729 and G723 *for a full list of codec support please see here*
At the heart of the problem is that 2G/3G networks are built upon legacy SS7 protocol technology, whereas 4G LTE networks are developed around the Diameter protocol.
What is required is a bridge between these technologies, one that will seamlessly allow the sharing of policy, charging and authentication information.
Squire Technologies carrier-grade Media Gateways (SVI_MG) and Media Gateway Control Function (SVI_MGCF) provide a seamless breakout to the PSTN. Coupled with Squire Technologies’ specialist installation and commissioning services insures a comprehensive delivery of the VoLTE Breakout Gateway Control Function (BGCF).
