About the MVTS session controller
The MVTS is a session controller of the new generation that serves as the 'brain' of a VoIP network and provides carriers with the functionality they need to deliver real-time multimedia communications directly across IP links. The key functionalities of the MVTS include smart routing, session control, detailed call statistics and CDR collection, SIP/H.323 interworking and many more. The intelligent, policy-based routing engine allows carriers to generate the maximum profit from their networks. Based on a set of pre-defined rules and policies, the routing engine automatically switches between the available route paths, choosing the best route both in terms of quality and pricing. The SIP-HIT, an ingenious converter of protocols and codecs, gives VoIP service providers an equally easy access to both SIP and H.323 domains. Furthermore, the just-released NAT Traversal module enables the MVTS to interconnect with customer SIP and H.323 endpoints deployed behind corporate NAT/firewalls.
"The MVTS session controller provides everything VoIP carriers need to stay competitive in the voice services market," says Natalia Korobkova, Marketing Director for MERA Systems, Inc. "With its industry-leading flexibility and interworking features, the MVTS session controller enables carriers to offer a full range of voice services and guarantee mission-critical quality and reliability. The easy scalability of our session controller serves to unleash the network growth potential and quickly add new destinations and subscribers."
