SMARRT™ Access

Many carriers are ready to take advantage of the benefits and flexibility of packet-based networks, but minimizing complexity and integration overhead are concerns. Carriers require fully integrated, end-to-end solutions that ease deployment, improve time to market and drive next generation access revenue. These solutions must incorporate fundamental packet access components and provide comprehensive subscriber services and line-side functionality. This includes infrastructure such as gateways and softswitches, as well as, media servers and routers, basic applications such as voicemail, and regulatory support for features such as emergency services and lawful intercept.

An open and flexible framework with support for a wide variety of applications and high-margin services is vital to building profitability. However, carriers also want single-vendor support to ensure seamless integration, rapid deployment and greater reliability.

The Sonus SMARRT Access solution enables carriers to increase profits by providing an open framework that delivers full access capabilities, incorporating all of the necessary components into one solution. Combining basic functionality into one complete package enables carriers to address their initial requirements for edge services, as well as, building the foundation for additional access applications.
