Cavalier offers SIP using Metaswitch platform

Cavalier, a telecom service provider, has expanded its SIP-base services. The new offerings will smooth the transition for companies looking to install IP voice services and add more capabilities to their business communications portfolio.

Cavalier's SIP service is based on Metaswitch's voice and multimedia platform. The platform offers traditional features like call re-direct, direct inward dial, calling name display, E-911 up to advanced things like enterprise-shared trunking and private dial plans. Cavalier provides the IP voice service. The SIP offering will be modular allowing Cavalier customers to choose parameters including the choice of bandwidth, number of concurrent calls, voice compression, Internet speed, private network options, and security and calling features.

"These new service options make a SIP trunk the obvious choice for businesses looking for a feature-rich alternative to a TDM T1 or for those converting to an all-IP infrastructure," said Clint McDonald, product manager, Cavalier in a release. "With a converged network, SIP traffic is transmitted securely along with a variety of other applications and protocols, creating bandwidth efficiencies for customers."
