LAS VEGAS, NV , which provides services under the name Frontier
Communications, is deploying MetaSwitch's unified messaging
solution to deliver voicemail and fax services to business and
residential subscribers. Following an initial roll out in select
locations, Frontier plans to expand the service to more than 2
million subscribers in 24 states. The centralized MetaSwitch
solution will replace 55 older, less feature-rich and less
efficient legacy regional voicemail solutions from a variety of
manufacturers. In addition to standardizing these services, the
solution will result in significantly reduced energy requirements,
supporting Frontier's commitment to environmental responsibility
and to wise use of resources for the best customer experience.
"As one of the largest rural telephone companies in the nation,
we needed a flexible solution that could immediately scale to
millions of subscribers," said Michael Golob, vice president,
engineering & technology for Frontier. "Intense due diligence
led us to select MetaSwitch. It has the services we want to offer
our customers. In addition to streamlining business operations and
upgrading seamlessly into Frontier's network, MetaSwitch's
centralized unified messaging system enables us to significantly
reduce our carbon footprint."
MetaSwitch's IP-based voicemail system reduces hardware costs by
eliminating the need to support dedicated TDM facilities, enabling
Frontier to consolidate real estate resources and reduce
"windshield time" and fuel costs to travel to various sites for
technical maintenance. Centralizing network support and maintenance
for remote locations lets Frontier maximize service continuity by
leveraging its existing network infrastructure of off-the-shelf
servers as opposed to proprietary hardware. Built from the ground
up as a next-generation messaging platform, the IP-based solution
is pre-integrated with the company's class 4/5 softswitch via SIP,
but also supports Simplified Message Desk Interface (SMDI) and
Voice Profile for Internet Mail (VPIM), enabling the solution to
seamlessly replace legacy voicemail systems. Electronic faxing will
also reduce paper consumption and landfill dumping and preserve
natural resources. Many organizations have reported decreased
operating costs resulting from reductions in paper, ink and extra
phone lines often required to run a traditional fax service.
"As companies continue to seek new services in order to increase
revenue and customer retention, they are also mindful of
discovering ways to reduce their environmental impact," said Graeme
MacArthur, chief executive officer, MetaSwitch. "MetaSwitch is
committed to producing high-quality, easily deployable technologies
that simplify the transition to next-generation networks, reduce
operational costs and lower carbon emissions."
MetaSwitch will be conducting live demonstrations of its
MetaSwitch softswitch and MetaSphere application suite, including
its advanced voicemail solutions, in Booth SU6726 at NXTcomm 2008,
held at the Las Vegas Convention Center from June 16-18, 2008.
