IMS Telecom expands its global reach to many destinations around the world, targeting mainly the Middle Eastern and African markets. The company rapidly becomes recognized worldwide within the Telecom Industry for its quality driven routes to these destinations.
MS Telecom was looking for a cost-effective VoIP solution with enhanced capabilities that would help them to easily handle VoIP traffic. They’ve found all these features in the MERA Systems’ next generation VoIP switching platform.
“It’s impossible to singe out just one main feature of MVTS II since all of them help us to smoothly run our business. Two-way SIP/H323 translation as well as codec conversion enables us to bridge SIP and H.323 networks and equipment”, says Hazim Hamid, Network Operations Manager of IMS Telecom, “Also one of the most useful features in MVTS II is an advanced call routing mechanism.
