WASHINGTON -- NeuStar, Inc., a leading provider of trusted information exchange services for the communications industry, today announced its clearinghouse solution for policy-based IP services enablement, routing management, and real-time network control. The IP Clearinghouse provides network intelligence required to link islands of VoIP and other IP- based services among service providers' networks and those of their customers.

It saves costs by providing real-time information needed to accurately route and manage end-to-end IP connectivity, by enabling direct peering for calls, messages, or sessions. Building on NeuStar's Convergent Clearinghouse platform, this new suite assists service providers to quickly launch services while reducing capital and operating expenditures. The offering is available immediately and is deployed today with major service providers.

"In today's fast-changing and intensely competitive communications marketplace, service providers face the immediate challenge of having to invest significant dollars, resources and time to upgrade their networks to move into an IP service delivery environment," said Dave Passmore, Burton Group Research Director. "The shared service model is the choice for carriers looking for ways to quickly ramp up their IP-based service delivery infrastructure without building it all themselves."
