The ControlSwitch also allows Cosmoline to improve its service offering, benefiting its current business and residential customers. Cosmoline previously deployed the Veraz Long Distance Network Compression solution utilizing Veraz's I-Gate 4000 media gateways. Veraz's I-Gate 4000 media gateways can be used for both static VoIP trunking and switched VoIP services, allowing carriers like Cosmoline to migrate their legacy trunking networks to IP concurrently with or independently from their switched network migration. Once deployed, carriers can maximize the cost-efficiencies of a converged IP network by combining the I-Gate 4000 VoIP trunking capabilities with ControlSwitch switching capabilities and service delivery platform to achieve a flexible and cost-effective switched IP network. "Over the past year, we have had a very positive experience using the Veraz gateways in our network, and working with Veraz," said Nikos Moutselos, Technical Director of Cosmoline. "We are now ready to deploy the softswitch to take our network to the next level. We will be able to offer more services, while cutting our operating costs and eliminating extra expenses associated with the operation of a traditional TDM network A network that transmits data in dedicated end-to-end circuits comprising 64 Kbps digital channels. TDM networks evolved from the analog voice networks of the telephone companies. ."
