TKC Telecom selects the SVI_Softswitch for telecommunications in West Africa

"We at TKC Telecom operate an international voice over IP telephone network, primarily for wholesale traffic between telephone companies in different countries. Our connection to the heritage PSTN has been primarily through ISDN PRI in the past," says Michael Shurtleff, Chief Technical Officer at TKC Telecom.

" However, our partners in West Africa insisted that we connect using C7 protocol. This was to facilitate billing on their side.

The Cisco gateway equipment that we use does not have a C7 interface, so we had a problem.

We were aware that Cisco had a solution but it was aimed at larger operations and was very expensive. This is why after looking at possible alternatives, we chose the Squire SVI_Softswitch. The SVI_Softswitch provides a C7 interface to the Ericsson PSTN switch in West Africa and works through MGCP protocol with a Cisco AS5300 voice over IP gateway, the type of gateway we normally use, at the same site. It is currently being used as the point of entry to the TKC Telecom network for calls originating in West Africa and destined for other countries around the world.

The Squire Technologies' Softswitch also provides us with call detail records (CDRs) which we analyse for call performance and use for our billing.

The equipment from Squire Technologies has enabled us to open new markets in this region that previously would have been very difficult to approach and we are now experiencing steady growth in our business as a result."

TKC Telecom is a privately owned next generation international telecommunications service provider whose mission is to provide its customers with long distance voice services using high quality voice over IP technology. The Company transports voice traffic on a wholesale basis over its IP network via several main hubs to specific international destinations.
