PR Newswire (US)
RESTON, Va., Oct. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- XO Communications,
Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: XOCM.OB) today announced that it has
interconnected with Stealth Communications' Voice Peering
Fabric(TM) (VPF), the world's largest peering network that allows
members to exchange voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) traffic
without relying on traditional telephone networks. The VPF is
revolutionizing the telephony industry by allowing calls on
different VoIP networks to be traded without the expensive task of
traversing the public switched telephone network (PSTN). The VPF is
a distributed Ethernet network that functions as an exchange or
meet-point for VoIP traffic by allowing enterprises and service
providers to establish peer-to-peer connections in a secure,
quality-of-service environment. By joining the VPF, XO will be able
to take advantage of the fast growing VPF ENUM Registry and
exchange VoIP traffic directly with other VPF members. In addition,
for VPF members that need to deliver VoIP calls to the PSTN, XO
will be able to offer VoIP Origination and Termination services
nationwide through the VPF. By handing off VoIP traffic directly to
XO, VPF members' traffic will be routed across the XO IP network at
the highest priority and terminated to the PSTN at destinations
across the United States. "VoIP providers need access to the
traditional phone networks, and through the VPF XO can offer
members a cost-effective way to deliver their VoIP calls to the
public switched telephone network," said Ernie Ortega, president of
carrier sales at XO Communications. "With our national IP network
and VoIP infrastructure, XO can deliver VPF members' calls to any
domestic location on the public switched telephone network through
a single connection to our network." "We are very excited to have
XO to join our community. Their participation in the VPF Minutes
Market will no doubt provide competitive services and add value to
our marketplace. XO's use of the VPF ENUM Registry will decrease
their operational costs and benefit our members by allowing VoIP
calls to remain within the IP domain." said Shrihari Pandit,
President and CEO of Stealth Communications. About XO
