Sansay and Stealth enable End-End VoIP Calls with ENUM Services and Session Control

Integrated Solution Helps Service Providers Migrate Millions of Minutes off Public Networks

March 28, 2006 – VoIP session control solutions from Sansay, Inc. now include interfacing to Stealth Communications’ VPF ENUM Registry, a database of phone numbers associated with IP addresses, accessible directly via IP connections without requiring PSTN traversal. By combining ENUM support with session control, service providers can save billions of dollars annually by completing voice calls on all‐IP infrastructures without sacrificing quality or post dial delay.

Located in 9 U.S. cities and London, Stealth’s Voice Peering Fabric (VPF) functions as an exchange or meet‐point for enterprises, government agencies and service providers to exchange VoIP traffic and telephony related services in a peer‐to‐peer fashion. The VPF ENUM Registry within the VPF is the world’s first and largest production ENUM registry, with more than 11 million phone numbers enlisted by major enterprises and carriers worldwide to map telephone numbers to SIP or H.323 addresses. The company is a driving force behind the Voice Peering Fabric and Voice Peering Forum, a community with events focused on making end‐to‐end IP telephony a reality.

Shrihari Pandit, president & CEO of Stealth Communications said high‐performance session control is a crucial component in the process. “ENUM is enabling hundreds of organizations to complete calls completely within the IP domain. Powerful ENUM Routing and Least Cost Routing (LCR) become essential to maximizing profitability and subscriber satisfaction.”
Sansay’s VSX inter‐carrier session control products are the first to include built‐in interoperability with Stealth’s VPF network. Glen Gerhard, Sansay vice president of product management, said the resulting migration of minutes off the PSTN can translate into huge savings for CLECs, cable companies and other competitive carriers making them less reliant on incumbent services.

“We’re focused on delivering a mix of ‘real world’ features such as ENUM support, one‐stop E911 support, flexible call routing and other components which allow services to be delivered most cost‐effectively while maintaining quality equal to or better than the PSTN,” Gerhard said. “Services such as Stealth’s ENUM registry increase the percentage of calls that can be completed over all‐IP infrastructures, allowing VoIP providers to become increasingly efficient and cost‐competitive.”
