StarVox Picks Veraz

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- StarVox Communications announced that it has upgraded its domestic VOIP network using Veraz Networks’ latest Class 4 software release for ease of provisioning and managing service level agreements (SLAs) with business customers. Veraz’s softswitch controls the StarVox network, with its media gateways distributed throughout the network. Significantly, the upgrade enables StarVox to offer businesses the premium voice quality that they are used to, using SLAs that guarantee the Quality of Service for VoIP.

For sites with broadband access, StarVox offers dedicated termination for intrastate, interstate and international calling, supporting both traditional ‘TDM last mile’ and enhanced ‘VoIP last mile’ services.
