Veraz ControlSwitch and Media Gateways Provide Substantial OPEX and CAPEX Savings

Veraz Networks, Inc, (NASDAQ:VRAZ) the leading provider of Multimedia Generation Network application, control, and bandwidth optimization products, today announced an expansion order with Bezeq, the leading domestic, international telecommunications provider in Israel. Building upon an existing deployment of Veraz’s ControlSwitch™ and the I-Gate 4000 family of media gateways, this expansion will enable Bezeq to significantly reduce its operating and capital costs by migrating voice traffic off its legacy TDM tandem network and onto an IP backbone.

Bezeq initially deployed Veraz’s ControlSwitch to support local number portability (LNP) and mobile number portability (MNP) services. Now, Bezeq will expand the use of the ControlSwitch along with Veraz’s I-Gate 4000 family of media gateways to migrate traffic off of Bezeq’s existing TDM tandem switches onto a national IP backbone, greatly reducing their on-going operating and capital costs and in particular their real estate costs.

“The initial Veraz deployment has been tremendously successful; we were able to rapidly enable LNP/MNP requirements across our network,” said Yuval Keinan, VP of Engineering and Networks, Bezeq. “Now we can further leverage the power of Veraz’s ControlSwitch and the I-Gate 4000 family of media gateways to continue to reduce costs from using legacy equipment while we expand our network capacity.”

“Veraz is extremely pleased to be able to provide the benefits of the MGN architecture to the leader of the Israeli market,” said Daniel Skinazy, Vice President EMEA for Veraz Networks Inc. “Veraz provides the roadmap for operators to complete the journey to a multimedia-capable network, with network modification and expansion that is easy to prove financially, through OPEX and CAPEX savings.”
