WESTFORD, Mass., Feb. 23, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

Key Takeaways:

• Telegate selected the Sonus SBC SWe for its peering network due to Sonus' robust carrier grade reliability and virtual, Cloud-optimized footprint.
• Telegate seamlessly deployed the SBC SWe in the Amazon Web Service (AWS) Cloud, reducing installation time to hours.
• Sonus' SBC SWe is a Cloud-optimized solution that scales as Telegate's business grows.

Sonus Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: SONS), a global leader in securing Cloud and real-time communications, announced today that Telegate, a leading telecom solutions provider in the Asia-Pacific region, selected the Sonus Session Border Controller Software edition (SBC SWe) to secure and control its peering network. The SBC SWe provides Telegate with simplified management of its carrier interconnect business, robust reliability, and a reduced hardware footprint.

With customers in 12 different countries across Asia and offices in Australia, Singapore and the Philippines, Telegate empowers businesses to succeed by providing access to the most advanced, state-of-the-art VoIP communication and networking services in the marketplace today.

As the industry continues to move to all IP networks, service providers, like Telegate, must overcome interoperability, security and routing challenges when connecting independent networks at scale. For this reason, Telegate is investing in Sonus to enhance control of its peering network.

The SBC SWe's flexible virtual footprint has allowed Telegate to seamlessly deploy it in the AWS Cloud in a matter of hours, instead of a less flexible installation of a legacy hardware solution. By deploying the SBC SWe, Telegate now has a coordinated approach to managing its global interconnection and can scale with a simple license upgrade as demands grow. This simplifies Telgate's architecture and ensures its customer have one point of interconnect contact for all queries.
