Euroweb, part of the KPN Royal Telecom operational group, chooses TOPEX Media Gateway range

Euroweb, the first Romanian operator to launch telephony services integrally based on a Next Generation Network (IETF) platform, has chosen to use TOPEX Media Gateway products for interconnection with the other operators.

TOPEX and Euroweb Romania have signed the contract referring to the supply of a SS&-SIP signalization interconnection and conversion platform by the Romanian telecommunication systems manufacturer.

Mr. Catalin Scarlat, Marketing Manager of Euroweb, states in relation with the signing of this contract, as follows:

“The Eurovoice service was launched at operational level in March 2005 by using a platform based on the SIP protocol defined by IETF (Internet Marketing Engineering Task). The increase of users and of the traffic volume, as well as the diversification desire of the provided services have made us, almost two years after the launch, search for solutions for the extension of the functioning and interconnection capabilities of the existing platform.

Having analyzed the received offers, we have chosen the TOPEX Media Gateways range, as it best fulfills the specified functioning requirements and the most important one is the interconnection function with the traditional operators, by means of SIP to SS7 protocol connection, and also the availability of the advanced softswitch functions, thus allowing a multitude of further developments.

As for the new contract, Dan Adamescu, CEO TOPEX states: “The agreement with Euroweb consolidates our position as major supplier of advanced telecommunication products on the Romanian market. The successful years of expertise of both companies confirm the quality of the entire promoted solution.
