net.com's SHOUT Achieves Homologation for Telefonica Argentina Platform Certified for SS7 Connectivity to TDM Network by Telefonica Argentina FREMONT, Calif., Oct. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- net.com (NYSE:NWK) announced today that its SHOUT has been certified by Telefonica Argentina to be technically compatible with Argentina's dominant carrier's SS7 (Signaling System 7) network. The SHOUT voice over IP (VoIP) platform provides interconnectivity with traditional TDM (time division multiplexing) network elements (T1, E1, PRI, SS7) and IP-based telephony products and protocols such as H.323 and SIP (session initiation protocol). SHOUT is deployed in carrier networks today to provide offload from the Class 5 switch to IP-based interexchange carriers (IXCs). SHOUT's support for multiple VoIP protocols enables the carrier to interconnect with multiple IXCs. SHOUT also contains advanced call routing protocols that make it ideally suited for passing different traffic to different carriers to achieve least cost call routing across multiple service providers. Additionally SHOUT's modular, scalable design enables carriers to start small and grow as needs and opportunity expand. "This is an important step in the deployment of carrier-based IP telephony services," said John Guisto, vice president of Latin America sales for net.com. "SHOUT continues to lead the market with flexible, scalable voice over IP services for both enterprise and carrier customers." SHOUT can also be used as customer premise equipment to connect large enterprises directly to TDM or IP-based telephony service providers.
