AIS moves to enable VoLTE peering
In this article (4)
Thailand’s AIS has deployed technology to enable it to offer VoLTE peering between the company and other operators in the region.
AIS has extended its deployment of Metaswitch’s Perimeta session border controllers from its 3G to its 4G network.
The operator has also deployed the Metaview Service Assurance Server (SAS) to support improved service delivery to its more than 40 million subscribers.
SAS is designed to facilitate troubleshooting and remediation to resolve problems in service delivery and help ensure that SLAs are being met even in virtualized enivornments.
“VoLTE peering offered by our own network and others will enable rapid proliferation of VoLTE services in the SEA region,” AIS CTO Kriengsak Wanichnatee commented.
“Perimeta’s high performance, unsurpassed stability and seamless interoperability with third-party products made our decision to deploy it on our 4G VoLTE network extremely easy. This extension of Perimeta’s role in our network confirms that the platform gives us the confidence and capabilities to rapidly deploy new services and scale quickly as our subscriber base grows.”
