Norwegian Operator Supercharges Network with Scalable, Future-Protected Communications Platform
Parsippany, N.J. – January 13, 2014 – Dialogic Inc., the Network Fuel® company, today announced that Network Norway upgraded its existing hosted unified communications (UC) offering with integrated solutions from Dialogic and Gintel that are delivering media-rich communications and uninterrupted service to customers. Gintel deployed Dialogic’s signaling server, software media server and integrated media gateways to solve integration challenges and offer enhanced conferencing and auto-attendant capabilities for the Norwegian service provider, which resulted in superior signaling session performance, reliable service and increased market share.
Gintel implemented the Dialogic® BorderNet™ 2020, an integrated media gateway and session border controller, Dialogic’s PowerMedia™ XMS software media server, and Dialogic® Distributed Signaling Interface (DSI) Protocol Stack to manage all integration challenges faced by Network Norway on an easily scalable solution without downtime. The updated Network Norway system has successfully been in production for more than a year, with the Dialogic products helping the Norwegian mobile network operator manage all traffic via session initiation protocol (SIP) regardless of originating network, connect any user on any network to the platform, tailor services to meet the needs of tens of thousands of subscribers, and provide differentiation in a saturated market. Since the upgrade, Network Norway has dramatically increased its subscriber base.
“We completed the upgrade and product migration smoothly and efficiently,” said Stig Roberg, product manager at Network Norway. “Prior to the upgrade, our existing solution, also based on Gintel and Dialogic, had been in service for more than five years – it was essential that migration to the new infrastructure didn’t disrupt our services. Thanks to the efforts of the team, we had a graceful transition and our customers continued to enjoy the service levels and reliability they expect.”
Network Norway has been working with Gintel’s Easy Virtual PaBX platform dating back to service launch in 2007. Since that time, it has been able to considerably differentiate its services and build market share by targeting the enterprise and SME segment in the otherwise saturated Norwegian mobile market. The ability of Gintel’s hosted mobile PBX application to scale for the service provider’s flagship Mobile Office product provided a platform for uninterrupted service ready for seamless integration with Dialogic’s solutions.
Andrew Goldberg, senior vice president of marketing and strategy for Dialogic, said,
“In the highly competitive mobile market, service providers refuse to sacrifice quality to deliver differentiated services for end users and stand their ground against costly capital expenditures. Dialogic’s offerings amplify existing networks and enhance any-to-any connections such that service providers can future-protect their systems without interruption for maximum customer satisfaction and return.”
