LDTeleCom's technology strategy can be broken down into three components that integrate into a common IP platform: a Private Native VoIP Network, Centralized Switching and Call Control, and Customer Premise Equipment. Click here to see the integrated IP platform.
Private Native VoIP Network (Transport Layer)
LDTeleCom is currently building a Cisco and Clarent based native VoIP platform in Latin America, which enables the company to more efficiently and cost effectively transport voice traffic. LDTeleCom is also leveraging the cost, scale, and reach benefits of the Internet for its network architecture. By utilizing the Internet as its backbone, LDTeleCom is able to offer its services at a very low price without investing significantly in network infrastructure. In an environment where bandwidth is expanding at exponential rates and circuit prices are dropping rapidly the fact that LDTeleCom is not locked into long-term contract for bandwidth (e.g. indefeasible rights of use [IRUs]) provides the company with a cost advantage over traditional circuit-switched carriers. LDTeleCom can also take advantage of best available pricing on termination through its affiliates/clearinghouses.
Centralized Switching and Call Control: “Soft-switch” (Control Layer)
LDTeleCom’s Soft-switch is the heart of the Company’s network architecture. It enables the implementation of traditional telephony and next generation services, and provides subscriber authentication, call routing information and billing functions. Centralizing the networks control layer for all markets increases the security, reliability, scalability and efficiency of the Company’s network and provides easy implementation of new services across the network.
Customer Premise Equipment
In order to bypass the high tolls
associated with the public switched
telephone network (PSTN) and offer its customers the
advantages
associated with a true IP Network, LDTeleCom deploys
customer
premise equipment. In doing so, LDTeleCom is pushing
the hardware
of the network to the customer’s premises, creating
a distributed network
architecture. Customer premise equipment can be added
incrementally as
customers are acquired reducing the need for huge up
front capital
expenditures, thus increasing the ROI of the network. |
