As service providers rapidly deploy VoIP gateways, they are focused on minimizing both CapEx and OpEx while ensuring that their investment will not be stranded. VoIP gateways must support advanced signaling and media processing today, while providing cost-effective migration to all-IP environments as well as converged fixed/mobile architectures. This presentation will focus on deploying cost-effective, flexible IP infrastructure solutions that address today’s needs as well as tomorrow’s opportunities.
