MERA VoIP Transit Softswitch (MVTS)

The MVTS is a comprehensive solution designed to simplify network infrastructure and efficiently handle high-volume IP telephony transit across the carrier’s network. MVTS supports a number of protocols, including:

• H.323 v.2
• H.245 v.7
• H.225 v.4
• SIP v.2 (RFC 2543 bis)
• RTP/RTCP
• T.38
• T.120
• SNMP v.1
• MD5
• CHAP
• RADIUS authentification
• RADIUS accounting

There are two types of MVTS architecture available:

• Single-Server MVTS Architecture: Has a system traffic throughput capacity ranging from 30 to 1,500 concurrent calls per server in E1 multiples
• Two- and Three-Level Cluster Architecture: Has a capacity ranging between 4,500 and 4,000 simultaneous call sessions

MVTS is a full-fledged softswitch that provides the following functionality:

• Static and dynamic endpoint servicing
• Two way H.323/SIP translation and conversion of media codecs to ensure interoperability with variegated networks and equipment
• Call detail records and RADIUS application program interface for simple integration with billing systems
• Load balancing and bandwidth management for efficient use of network resources
• A carrier-grade solution that is fully redundant and scalable up to 40,000 simultaneous calls
• Elaborate call routing based on the embedded routing engine and on the external RADIUS-aided method

MERA Systems changed its name to ALOE Systems Inc. in 2010.
