SAN DIEGO -- Compass Global, Inc., a leading operator of IP-based international voice and data communications networks, is using Sansay's VSX VOIP session control systems to minimize operating costs while maximizing the quality of service to hard-to-reach destinations.

Compass Global builds and operates international communications networks between the United States and destinations with underdeveloped telecom infrastructures in South America, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, partnering with in-country carriers to build routes and reselling minutes to leading global service providers. Deploying Sansay equipment beginning in 2004, Compass Global has migrated 95% of its wholesale traffic and virtually all of its retail traffic to an IP infrastructure, achieving not only dramatic cost reductions but notable improvements in voice quality. Now averaging 75 million minutes of traffic per month, Compass Global engineers its network to support more than twice that amount to accommodate peak hours.

Compass Global carefully evaluated numerous session control systems before selecting Sansay's VSX systems. "We had originally been looking to complement our TDM switch with VOIP, but it quickly became obvious that the world was moving toward a global VOIP to VOIP infrastructure," said Dean Cary, founder and CEO of Compass Global. "Sansay was the only company who really listened, understood, and appreciated the significance of what we wanted to do. In talking to another leading session control company we felt like we were talking to our TDM switch vendor again; like it would be very difficult to get anything customized. With Sansay it's been a real win-win on both sides. Their willingness and ability to work with us has made the combination of their systems and our in-house software extremely powerful. And performance-wise, we tested several solutions for months and found Sansay to be the best and most scalable, and definitely the most 'telecom friendly' session controller on the market."
