StarNet, Moldova’s technical pioneer and an Internet provider, has selected and deployed NGN MGC for SIP to SIP-I interworking from Squire Technologies.

StarNet (News - Alert), which required a SIP to SIP-I solution for their VoIP only telephone service that, in the future, will interconnect with SS7 via an existing AudioCodes Media Gateway (News - Alert), chose the Media Gateway Controller SVI-MGC from Squire Technologies to provide a fully scalable, easily managed, end-to-end, carrier grade 'VoIP only' and 'SS7 to VoIP' solution.

"Naturally we investigated the market," said Suprunov Gherman, marketing director of StarNet,in a statement.

Gherman said that not only was it apparent that Squire Technologies shared the company’s philosophy of exceeding customer expectations with robust services but their product reliability, user interface & technical expertise was exactly what the company needed to be assured of long term success.

He said that the company was particularly impressed with the remote deployment of this 'software only' solution.

Gherman said that it allowed for very efficient integration, highly specialised testing and excellent ROI.

"It has been a pleasure to work with StarNet on this deployment. We are experiencing much greater demand for SIP-I as industry moves towards NGN; StarNet has a bold vision for the future and we are pleased to have provided another client with a product that matches not only their current requirements, but also support their growth into the future,” said Simon Dinnage, business development director at Squire Technologies.

Dinnage said that the company’s focus has always been to deliver flexible, future proof technology that provides outstanding ROI to the clients.

“StarNet has a bright future and we are looking forward to supporting them all the way there."
