Alianza has introduced its new access control solution CLOUDEDGE to provide telecommunications service providers (telcos) with a way to streamline legacy voice migration to the cloud.
According to the cloud communications platform, it provides telcos with a “low-risk path” to simplifying operations, increasing network management efficiencies, and speeding up innovation.
Telcos have previously been able to setup UCaaS cloud services and move softswitch services to the cloud, but CLOUDEDGE sets itself apart by creating a path to the cloud for even the most complex legacy time-division multiplexing (TDM) infrastructure migrations, without any meaningful risk to services.
In Alianza’s related press release, it explains some of the difficulties that CLOUDEDGE will help to solve:
“For more than a decade, telcos have faced challenges in managing legacy services side-by-side with the development and delivery of net-new capabilities.
“These realities undermined revenue growth and left telcos vulnerable to competitive threats from over-the-top (OTT) competitors that were not constrained by the need to maintain network infrastructure, optimize service reliability, and deliver full-service capabilities, often in adherence with regulatory mandates.”
CLOUDEDGE Features
Alianza believes that its CLOUDEDGE solution helps telcos from a strategic and operation management perspective via a single cloud-based platform.
The solution also includes features such as support for multiple access technologies, which allows telcos to provide a broad set of customer requirements.
CLOUDEDGE allows for diverse communications protocols that enable interoperability and enhanced network connectivity.
It also facilitates reliable communications during emergencies by local voice and 911 traffic routing for session initiation protocol (SIP) and non-SIP endpoints, leading to an improved overall service.
From a financial perspective, CLOUDEDGE represents a lower total cost of ownership for telcos by consolidating a comprehensive communications portfolio into a single platform.
Greater customer operation management capabilities come through an API, with billing software and other cloud-based solutions for enhanced integrations.
