TelcoBridges Announces Metaswitch CFS Interoperability

Tmedia family of VoIP Gateways are now certified interoperable with the Metaswitch Call Feature Server and integrated with its management suite.

TelcoBridges, a leading designer and manufacturer of carrier-grade VoIP gateways, today announced successful completion of certification testing by Metaswitch, a Microsoft company. This accreditation certifies that versions of TelcoBridges Tmedia gateways are now fully interoperable with the widely deployed MetaSphere Call Feature Server (CFS).  As a result of the successful certification, TelcoBridges now offers “Tmedia for Metaswitch Networks” as a software option/upgrade for existing and new Tmedia products. This includes integration with Metaswitch’s MetaView Service Assurance Server, for rapid call tracing and fault diagnosis. The new options are now available from the TelcoBridges web site at www.telcobridges.com/metaswitch.

“With the successful completion of testing, service providers now have a new certified media gateway option, compatible with Metaswitch CFS,” said Alan Percy, CMO at TelcoBridges.  “This is a benefit for service providers looking to expand or modernize their networks, as TelcoBridges Tmedia for Metaswitch offers an expanded range of gateway scale and interface options.”

TelcoBridges “Tmedia for Metaswitch Networks” represents a scalable offering for low and high-capacity solutions, ideally suited for existing and new Metaswitch CFS networks requiring connectivity to SS7 networks, TDM interconnect, subscriber DS1, DS3, and STM1 interfaces.
