on Keynes, 14 February 2011. Acmetel, a privately owned U.A.E-based next generation voice carrier operator has selected DIGITALK as its preferred platform provider for its international wholesale and retail services.

Acmetel has deployed the DIGITALK SBC VoIP Peering application, based on the DIGITALK Session Border Controller, to strengthen and grow its international wholesale business as part of an expansion strategy. At the same time, Acmetel has outgrown optimum capacity on it retail hosted partition, so is moving the prepaid services to the DIGITALK Multiservice Platform, with the additional benefit of consolidating all management and support to one provider.

Acmetel also wanted to overcome the dependency on cumbersome hardware upgrades to achieve capacity and feature expansion.

The DIGITALK SBC VoIP Peering application offers a range of advanced routing options, which allows operators to manage routes based on cost, quality and margin, ensuring traffic is routed without loss or within a minimum profit threshold. Another critical advantage for Acmetel is the flexible carrier interworking achieved through the SBC Media Server's dynamic software-based transcoding enabling them to significantly expand carrier routing options without the need to deploy additional technologies.

Baleegh Afridi, Acmetel CEO explains "We've worked hard to achieve rapid growth, and already operate on 2 million minutes per day business volume since starting up in 2008. We've achieved this by being resolute to our mission to provide the very best service, in quality and reliability. We felt that in a move to our own infrastructure the DIGITALK platform offered the best fit with our services from the advanced capabilities to ensure we operate a lean business, and their commitment and ongoing support as we grow expand on our success."
