Wholesale VoIP service expansion from AT&T

For more than 10 years, AT&T has provided wholesale VoIP solutions, which address the US domestic and international termination needs of service providers with a variety of connectivity options.

AT&T announced the expanded availability at the VON 2007 conference held at Boston Convention and Exhibition Center from 29 October to 1 November 2007. VON is the largest and longest running IP communications event in the industry.

AVOICS provides unbranded and unbundled transport over the AT&T network, as well as termination of international and US domestic traffic. Customers connect to the service via AT&T's Managed Internet Service/Multiprotocol Label Switching-Private Network Transport service, which provides class-of-service voice quality, key security elements and advanced network reliability.

AVOICS is highly scalable and accepts US-originated domestic outbound (1+) calls and international outbound (011+) calls by using Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) signaling.

AT&T has expanded the scale and scope of its wholesale VoIP services, and is now offering AVOICS to customers that want the service with T1, T3 and OCX connectivity as well as meeting a market demand for a customer managed model. Initially introduced with limited availability, AVOICS is now available to all of AT&T's US-based wholesale customers.

As a global leader, AT&T delivers a full portfolio of end-to-end reliable and highly secure network, voice, data and IP solutions to the six wholesale industry segments that it serves: carriers, wireless operators, cable providers, systems integrators, Internet service providers and content providers.

AT&T is one of the largest wholesale transport and communications service providers in the world, maintaining connections to more than 400 carriers in more than 220 countries and territories.
