Laticom Selects MERA to Deliver Quality VoIP to Central America
December 17, 2003
MERA Systems, Inc., a key enabler of forefront VoIP technologies, today announced that Laticom International, a USA-based ITSP, has deployed the feature-rich MERA VoIP Transit Softswitch to provide quality VoIP services to Central America.
The MERA VoIP Transit Softswitch (MVTS) is a session controller that routes traffic to Laticom's clients and peering partners, whereas its advanced security features hide the network topology and ensure protection against unauthorized access.
"The MVTS is the main brain of our IP network in Central America", says Juan Nelson, President & CEO, Laticom International. "It provides us with all the functionality we need to run a successful VoIP business. Apart from the intelligent routing capabilities, the MVTS is a system that can truly scale. This is critical, as we are going to migrate and increment capacity to at least 7, 000 concurrent calls. The MERA solution is a perfect choice to minimize fixed costs, as it does not require expensive hardware, and the add-on features are delivered for a 'bundle price'. Furthermore, the friendly GUI utility used in combination with the Linux console enables us to keep track of relevant statistics, analyze routes, and identify risk areas in the network."
Laticom International is planning to distribute fully customized language-friendly MERA products in Central and South America and the Caribbean through its points of presence in ten countries. Since the IP market in Central America is largely underdeveloped and lacks both quality and security, the role of dependable and feature-rich VoIP solutions is of paramount importance to the region. With their enhanced functionality, easy scalability and professional customer support, MERA products are designed to bridge this technology gap and enable carriers to successfully build and grow a profitable peering business.
