Expand VoIP Operations: Upgrade Class 4 Services

with a Class 5 Softswitch

Deliver full VoIP subscriber
telephony services
As VoIP regulations are liberalized around the world, thousands of providers now have the opportunity
to offer full VoIP services to subscribers over IP networks. For VoIP providers with limited licenses,
deregulation is an opportunity to expand revenue-generating services and business operations. To
make the jump from IP telephony services, such as international call access and call termination, to full
VoIP telephony and data access services, operators need to offer Class 5 services to their end
customers. To carry out this transition they must add a Class 5 softswitch to their existing Class 4
softswitch network. VoIP providers with a full Class 5 VoIP telephony service can offer subscribers
alternative fixed telephony with added value services, such as call forwarding, voice mail and more.
RADs Class 5 SIP Softswitch, the IPVsuite-200, is the core of the RAD VoIP System, a platform for
launching and delivering full subscriber telephony services. The IPVsuite-200 is a high-performance
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Class 5 softswitch for deploying next-generation IP telephony and data
services over a packet-switched network.
