Minacom, Telarix Partner

MONTREAL -- Minacom, the leader in service quality test automation solutions for carriers, and Telarix, the foremost provider of interconnect business optimization settlement solutions worldwide, announced today an integrated, least-cost routing solution for international service providers that combines Minacom’s unique single-ended service quality testing with the Telarix’s patented routing optimization platform. The integrated solution allows carriers to take advantage of the lowest-cost routes available, including next-generation IP/VoIP alternatives, without sacrificing service quality.

Minacom’s DirectQuality R7 service level test automation platform performs single-ended, user-perceived service quality testing without requiring far-end probes, responders, or call data records (CDRs) from switches. Tests are conducted by Minacom’s PowerProbe 6000 service level test probe, which places short-duration test calls to public-number destinations such as Interactive Voice Response (IVR) and voicemail systems, fax machines and modems over specified carrier routes. Minacom’s systems are currently used by carriers worldwide to perform breakout testing, carrier fraud detection, billing verification, and competitive benchmarking.

“Minacom’s single-ended service-quality test automation solutions are used by leading carriers managing billions of minutes yearly, many of which have integrated DirectQuality R7 directly into their operations using proprietary systems.” Commented Michel Nadeau, President & CEO of Minacom, adding “Our partnership with Telarix offers carriers turn-key least-cost routing using unrivaled QoS awareness over TDM and next-gen voice routes, helping them to effectively compete against the threat of low-cost VoIP services with an open, automated solution.”

“Telarix’s partnership with Minacom marks another industry first,” said Don Lynch, CEO of Telarix. “By combining Telarix’s next generation routing solution with Minacom’s intelligent service-quality test automation capabilities, service providers now have a powerful financial tool to optimize routing while ensuring their customers receive the highest Quality of Service level available.
