Telecommunications
companies eager to lower their operating expenses in order to return to
profitability should immediately begin testing the innovative softswitch
technology, a new report by Insight Research reveals. The new
switches utilize standard computer hardware to substantially reduce
network operations and maintenance costs. According to Insight’s
analysis, these softswitches have already begun replacing the
multi-million dollar specialized equipment currently in place at the
established phone companies.
According to
The
US Softswitch Market 2002-2007, using standard computer hardware to
replace traditional phone switches will make it possible for phone
companies to rapidly design and build new services for the public, the
quickest way back to profitability. A pivotal advantage that new
softswitch architecture maintains over older telecom switching technology
is the separation of call processing from transport. This logical
separation of call processing from the physical media gateways greatly
simplifies the task of software design for a new service, since the
service design is built independent of the network carrying it.
“Hard times are
focusing the phone industry’s attention on softswitching because the new
platforms bring real operational savings today. Over the longer
term, however, the carriers will have to get back to revenue creation, and
that is where softswitch technology will really shine,” says Insight’s
president Robert Rosenberg. “As softswitches catch on, we expect
to see specialized vendors springing up--some to design new services, and
some developing the softswitching logic. Telecom hardware will
become more akin to commercial computing hardware as the traditional
telecommunications hardware market fades away,” Rosenberg predicts.
The US Softswitch
Market 2002-2007 forecasts adoption of softswitches by carriers, revenue
growth, and the average prices.
