SNET, Stealth Do VOIP Peering

NEW YORK -- SNET DG (Diversified Group) and Stealth Communications are pleased to announce that SNET DG will interconnect with Stealth's Voice Peering Fabric(tm) (VPF) as an application services provider to offer VPF members SIP access to Intelligent Network Database Information such as, CNAM, 8XX, and LNP.

"VoIP providers need access to legacy telco database information for calls that interact with the PSTN. By joining the VPF family, SNET DG is offering VPF members quick and easy access to the information they need without the complexity and expense of an SS7 network, or handing off database queries to a TDM-based carrier," remarked Suzette Taylor, Business Development Manager at SNET DG. "Our service supports the spirit of the VPF, which is to extend the reach of VoIP and help VoIP providers operate more efficiently and therefore, more profitably."

The Voice Peering Fabric is a distributed Ethernet network that functions as an exchange or meet-point for VoIP traffic. It is a private voice Internet allowing members to establish peer-to-peer connections in a secure, quality-of-service environment. The VPF Minutes Market and ASP Market allows members to buy and sell services with complete transparency among one another. In addition, the VPF ENUM Registry, the world's first commercially accessible ENUM database, allows VoIP calls to remain within the IP domain on the VPF.

"The VPF welcomes SNET DG to the VPF family," said Shrihari Pandit, Founder and CEO of Stealth Communications. "With the launch of our VPF ASP Market, we are fortunate to have an industry leader like SNET DG be part of the VPF. The databases and gateway services maintained by SNET DG are important elements for VoIP providers and we are glad to have them available for our members."
