Assessing
Carrier VoIP Outsourcing – Can Less Be More?
While Internet Protocol (IP) technology
has been utilized in long-haul carrier backbone
networks for a number of years, retail Voice-over-Internet-Protocol
(VoIP) services are just starting to take hold
now. As a result, established and start-up carriers
increasingly need to interconnect networks for
smooth transmission of IP-based traffic, and must
regularly interface VoIP networks with traditional
Time Division Multiplex (TDM) networks. The related
requirement to support multiple network technologies
within and between carrier environments is a daunting
reality.
Carriers have long made use of managed
or outsourced TDM switch services. The use of
outsourced VoIP services can – as a logical
extension – be an excellent way to strike
a workable balance between smooth service delivery
to customers, on the one hand, and maximization
of profits (or margins) on the other hand. Provided
that an outsourced VoIP service solution is well
planned and well managed, carriers can relinquish
some responsibilities (for select network functions)
in return for better financial results.
For carriers handling VoIP traffic,
network outsourcing can be a viable option, since
LESS focus on network support requirements can
permit greater focus on the business and on market
penetration, thereby generating MORE financial
return. These conclusions depend on a number of
key factors. General Telecom's latest white paper,
"Assessing Carrier VoIP Outsourcing: Can
Less Be More?", reviews these key factors
of VoIP Outsourcing. Download the full white paper

 Comptel/Ascent
Spring 2005
Dates: February 14-17, 2005

Morial Convention Center, New Orleans, LA.
The market for VoIP services is growing at a terrific
pace, by any measure – and yet we are only
at the leading edge of the market adoption curve.
Service Providers correctly regard VoIP as a powerful
mechanism for acquiring new customers and creating
stickiness to retain existing customers longer.
At the same time, however, VoIP is not traditional
telephony service in many important respects,
so profitable entry into this marketplace should
be preceded by consideration of a number of factors
that may not all be obvious at the outset. Come
hear Rich Grange join with Dan Dearing of Nextone
and Chris MacFarland of BroadSoft
to address the issues every service provider should
consider when launching VoIP Services. The session
is on Monday, February 14th from 3:00-4:30pm,
and is moderated by Khali Henderson, Group Editor
for Phone+.
To arrange a meeting with sales team in attendance,
