VeriSign Launches MSO-IP Connect VoIP Routing Service

VeriSign Inc.’s MSO-IP Connect is a new service that provides cable operators and VoIP carriers with end-to-end voice over IP routing. The VeriSign service removes the need to route IP calls over the PSTN, allowing MSOs to connect IP calls securely and without incurring costly toll charges from third-party carriers.

“Cable operators are increasingly driving the growth of converged voice and data services,” says Neil McGowan, senior vice president of VeriSign Communications Services. “VeriSign MSO-IP Connect provides the missing link that allows cable operators to interconnect their voice traffic over a robust and secure IP network. This allows MSOs to offer customers both cost competitive voice services, and a comprehensive set of content and data services.”

The service provides a centralized call routing and discovery database based on the ENUM and PacketCable SIP-based Call Management Server Signaling (CMSS) protocols. Unlike other services that only allow ENUM connectivity, VeriSign’s interfaces also support the PacketCable SIP-based CMSS protocol, allowing maximum flexibility in obtaining public route information.
