NEEDHAM, Mass. -- Cantata cantata (kəntä`tə) [Ital.,=sung], composite musical form similar to a short unacted opera or brief oratorio, developed in Italy in the baroque period. Technology[TM], one of the world's leading independent providers of enabling communications technology Noun 1. communications technology - the activity of designing and constructing and maintaining communication systems engineering, technology - the practical application of science to commerce or industry , today announced that Waveleap Communications, a premier provider of wholesale IP-based call termination Call Termination, also known as voice termination, refers to the handing off or routing of calls from one telephone company, also known as a carrier or provider, to another telephone company. The terminating point is end point. and conversion services, has deployed the IMG 1010[TM] Integrated Media and Signaling VoIP Gateway in its global network. Waveleap selected Cantata's IMG 1010 as a crucial component of its new Xvon.net service, which provides real-time, outsourced conversion services ("transcoding") among the popular voice compression Same as speech compression. protocols (G.711, G.723 and G.729). Xvon.net provides this service to carriers, aggregators, calling card companies, and the enterprise. Cantata worked closely with Sansay, Inc., a leading developer of VoIP session controllers for service providers, whose technology was deployed by Waveleap in 2006, to ensure easy configuration and smooth interoperability between Waveleap's mission critical session border controller A Session Border Controller is a device used in some VoIP networks to exert control over the signaling and usually also the media streams involved in setting up, conducting, and tearing down calls.

Waveleap also uses the IMG 1010 to offer its Xvon.net transcoding service to members of the Voice Peering Fabric (VPF VPF vascular permeability factor; see vascular endothelial growth factor, under factor. ). The VPF, operated by Stealth Communications, is the world's largest peering network for voice communications and telephony services and functions as an exchange, or "meet-point," for service providers and enterprises. Xvon.net allows carriers and others to accept call traffic from virtually any source and terminate that traffic on virtually any carrier worldwide. For example, if a customer uses a network that supports the G.729 protocol while the selected carrier or peer only accepts G.711, Xvon.net can provide a seamless interconnection between the two networks. Waveleap and Cantata eliminate the need for customers and carriers to deploy additional equipment to communicate between disparate networks. "After a thorough evaluation of several leading media gateway products, we selected the IMG 1010 for its rich transcoding features, attractive cost of ownership, and ability to easily interconnect with the VPF," said Jeff Ellentuck, chief executive officer, Waveleap Communications. "No other commercially available media gateway product could match the flexibility or the rapid five month ROI that we expect to achieve with the IMG 1010. We fully intend to add more IMG 1010 units to our network in the future." The award-winning IMG 1010 is an integrated media and signaling gateway A network device that converts control signals from one format to another. For example, a SIGTRAN signaling gateway converts SS7 signals of the PSTN to SIGTRAN for transport over IP. Contrast with media gateway. See SIGTRAN. that provides any-to-any network connectivity, enabling delivery of SIP services into legacy SS7/PRI networks, as well as IP-to-IP transcoding to connect IP networks using different protocols. The IMG 1010 offers the widest range of network interfaces in a compact, high density 1U package, allowing service providers to deploy applications across fixed and mobile networks worldwide. "Waveleap's selection of Cantata's IMG 1010 continues to reflect the product's growing influence and strong market traction among global communications service providers," said Marc Zionts, chief executive officer, Cantata Technology, Inc. "In little more than a year of commercial availability, the IMG 1010 has already been deployed by more than 55 carriers in 20 countries, spanning five continents. We expect that deployment of the IMG 1010 as a transcoding resource and Waveleap's offering of the service to members of the Voice Peering Fabric will further increase demand for the product in 2007 and beyond."
