(networking) Internet Protocol - (IP) The network layer for the TCP/IP protocol suite widely used on Ethernet networks, defined in STD 5, RFC 791. IP is a connectionless, best-effort packet switching protocol. (VOIP) as its core technology, today announced it is expanding its VoiceOne(TM) direct network footprint over the next 45 days to an additional 48 CLEC (Competitive Local Exchange Carrier) An organization offering local telephone service that is not one of the traditional telephone companies. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 allowed competition to the incumbent telcos (ILECs), enabling new companies (CLECs) customers and cities.

Shawn Lewis commented, "Through this expansion, we are increasing our direct network footprint providing our customers with the necessary tools and network services to begin servicing the exploding IP services marketplace. Not only does the expansion benefit new and existing customers of VoiceOne, but further builds upon and strengthens the quality of service aspects of IP communications A general term for networks that use the IP protocol for voice (VoIP) and video traffic. See IP telephony. in general." Lewis, who wrote the patent for the first softswitch and SS7 media gateway, added, "While our VoiceOne network supports all flavors of TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) A technology that transmits multiple signals simultaneously over a single transmission path. Each lower-speed signal is time sliced into one high-speed transmission. and IP interconnection, we truly have the only 100% packet-based network in the U.S. This is significant because many carriers/service providers use the Internet or TDM connections to connect parts of their network, which can create legacy conversion problems and Quality of Service (QOS) issues. We are 100 percent packet based, so we have a fully maintained and managed high-QoS network." The VoiceOne network has been running for more than two and half years with multiple vendor partners. Integration and interoperability have plagued the industry, but through the VoiceOne proprietary platforms we have integrated and provided seamless interoperability with many vendors - including Netrake, Sonus, Cisco, Asterisk, Quintum Technologies, Acme Packet, and many others - so carriers receive immediate access to services at QOS levels they expect and deserve. According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. Lewis, interoperability has been the primary focus in the design and implementation of the VoiceOne network, which is where many IP solutions fall short today. "A lack of interoperability in a network can prevent the advent of packet-based services, delay the availability of services, or create QoS service issues," he said. "Carriers are now able to enjoy the benefits of IP communications and advanced packet services without the required CAPEX costs, and immediately benefit from the knowledge of a partner like VoiceOne. The Carrier Direct program from VoiceOne is available to all facilities-based carriers in the U.S., and expansion into the international carrier marketplace is slated for the fourth quarter of 2005," Lewis added.
