How to implement international IP voice intercon-nections? This question in early 2013 could be consid-ered naïve and technically outdated but in late 2007 when i3 forum (a carrier forum with the participation of nearly 50 carriers worldwide serving 2B+ people on more than 100 countries) started its own activity was an outstanding one.

Indeed, multiple options were possible in terms of interconnection configurations, signaling protocols (e.g. SIP standardized by IETF, SIP- I from ITU-T, H.323, BICC and H.248 always from ITU-T) and co-decs whereas no best practices were available on how to achieve security and how to reduce the duration of the testing process.

In this framework i3 forum started to work following 3 basic guidelines:

1. Be as simple as possible2. Cover the market as much as possible3. P rovide examples / best practices without modify-

ing the existing business model and assuming various level of quality of service, cascade payments and vol-ume based billing.

The first answer to be given to the market is whether we are dealing with “private” and/or “public” intercon-nections; giving to private the meaning that no uniden-tified party is able to affect the quality of the VoIP ser-vice or, more specifically, the IP addresses of the routers of the two parties are not advertised over the Public In-ternet. In compliance with the 2nd guideline introduced above, considering the need both of private (e.g. 2 carri-ers serving their own customers for a primary route) as well public interconnections (e.g. for traffic to be deliv-ered towards lower priority routes), i3 forum provided a set of interconnection configurations covering the two environments using different transport alternatives.

How to implement international IP Voice Interconnection: different solutions for different needs

The second basic answer is related to the signaling protocol(s) to be adopted. It was clear to all i3 forum participants that the number of protocols to be recom-mended had to be reduced aiming, as said above, to cover as much as possible the market needs and imple-mentations. Following these two criteria it was straight-forward to converge on:

• The SIP protocol as per IETF specification (RFC 2161) which represented, and represents, the basic signaling protocols for all session based applications to-gether with

• The SIP-I protocol as per ITU-T specification (Q. 1912.5) which, carrying the ISUP protocols of the TDM networks, was the best candidate for the very long TDM -> IP transition period.

The third basic answer brought i3 forum to clearly say an answer on which codec(s) has (have) to be support-ed. It is well known that multiple codecs have being used by carriers and service providers in order to achieve the best trade-off between the voice quality andthe amount of bandwidth needed for a single session. The decision, confirmed later on by surveys carried out among i3 fo-rum carriers, was to consider mandatory the support of ITU-T G.711 and G.729 family codecs and to leave as optional the support of other narrow-band (e.g. G.723) / wideband (e.g. WB-AMR) and low bit rate codec (e.g. G.729a with VAD/DTX).

With regard to codec it is worth mentioning the selec-tion of ITU-T T.38 protocols for fax over IP commu-nication together with the very broad activity carried jointly with SIP Forum aiming to reduce and solve part of the quality issues that still presently affect the fax over IP transmission.

The three technical areas covered so far, together with a correct design and implementation of the IP layer functionalities, can guarantee a voice over IP call

is supported across an interface but do not guarantee a service is offered with the requested level of quality and security and it is provisioned/tested in due time.

The control of the quality of service in a VoIP envi-ronment has always represented a debatable issue with fierce supporters on different sides. Those who believe VoIP service provide the same quality level of legacy TDM service and those who are against this statement. Of course, there is no unique answer depending the overall quality on the number of networks to be crossed, the distance, the used TDM and VoIP technology, the codecs…

Within i3f first it has been identified the scope of quality of service monitoring:

• Monitoring (supervision) against given thresholds• Troubleshooting• Service Level Agreement (SLA) and Quality of Ser-

vice reporting then, the related Transmission and IP pa-rameter have been defined:

and finally a number of passive and active methodolo-gies have been identified.

With regard to security and testing i3 forum delivered to the industry a number of white papers addressing the issues of security and testing which have to be consid-

ered not only as topics for engineers but as key element for the success of a VoIP service involving directly the revenues (a vulnerable network implies lower revenues; never ending provisioning time generates an economic loss) and the carrier ranking in the market.

Focusing on security i3 forum considers mandatory the deployment of Session Border Controller achieving topology hiding and NAT/NAPT translation and rec-ommends 3 level of secure configurations for each in-volved interface. In the i3 forum White Paper ”Security for IP Interconnections” Rel. 1.0, May 2011 the follow-ing security threats and related security mechanisms are extensively dealt with.

The worth of efficient and short design / implemen-tation and testing procedures have been mentioned

above. A couple of documents help Service Providers and Carriers to minimize the time of bringing into ser-vice an interconnection:

• “Interconnection Form for International Voice Ser-vice” Rel. 4 May 2012, devoted to allow an easy “get-ting in touch” between the two parties covering the vast majority of the technical issues;

• “Interoperability Test Plan connection for Interna-tional Voice Service” Rel. 4 May 2012, devoted to pre-sent and describe the basic set of testing suites to be carried out.

All related deliverables and documents can be re-trieved from www.i3forum.org

Sprint Nextel to Investigate Dish Network Takeover Bid Offer

Source: www.cellular-news.com

Published on: 29th Apr 2013

Spansion to Acquire Microcontroller and Analog Business from Fujitsu

Published on: 30th Apr 2013

Telefonica Sells Minority Stake in Latin American Operations

Spain's Telefonica has an-nounced the sale of a 40% stake in its assets in El Salvador, Gua-temala, Nicaragua, and Panama for US$500 million, plus up to US$72 million in future perfor-mance based payments

The buyer is Corporación Mul-ti Inversiones (CMI), a family-owned multinational corporation.

Telefónica will keep control of the companies, which will be merged into a joint venture.

The implied multiple for the total amount of the transaction means 6.5 times EBITDA 2012 of the companies involved in the operation.

Telefonica confirmed that the sale was part of its plan to pay down the company debt.

USA based Sprint Nextel says that it has been given a waiver from Japan's Softbank to inves-tigate the rival takeover bid from Dish Network.

Sprint had previously ap-proved a bid by Softbank to buy a 70% stake in the company for US$20.1 billion, before Dish came in with its bid worth around US$25 billion.

The SoftBank waiver does

not permit Sprint to provide non-public information to Dish nor does it enable Sprint to en-ter into negotiations with Dish. Such actions may be taken by Sprint only in accordance with the Sprint-SoftBank merger agreement.

Sprint said that it wont com-ment until it has decided which of the two bids is the superior one.

Flash memory vendor, Span-sion is to to acquire Fujitsu's Mi-crocontroller and Analog Busi-ness for approximately $110 million, plus approximately $65 million for inventory. The net impact is expected to be accre-tive for Spansion in 2013.

"This acquisition provides incremental revenue and aligns with our strategy to expand into system-on-chip solutions that require leadership in embedded Flash technology," said John Kispert, president and CEO of Spansion. "We have been strategic partners with Fujitsu Semiconductor for decades and share many of the same cus-tomers. We expect a seamless

transition for all of the employees and customers."

Spansion said that its Flash technology along with the ac-quired microcontroller and analog products and talent accelerates a portfolio of high-performance system-on-chip solutions for use in the development of faster, more intelligent and energy-efficient products as well as next genera-tion of the "Internet of everything" in automotive, industrial and con-sumer applications.

The acquisition is subject to various customary closing condi-tions and is expected to be com-plete between July and September of 2013.

India’s mobile operators have been busy this week, with Bharti Airtel announcing an acquisi-tion in Uganda, and MTS India appointing a new CEO. Mean-while across the border, Bangla-desh’s 3G spectrum auction has hit another delay.

Bharti Airtel has entered into a definitive agreement to ac-quire Abu Dhabi Group-owned operator Warid Telecom’s Ugan-dan business. The Indian opera-tor group intends to merge War-id Telecom Uganda with its own Ugandan subsidiary.

According to Airtel, the move will consolidate its position as the second largest mobile op-erator in Uganda. Airtel cur-rently has 4.6 million customers in Uganda, whereas Warid Tel-ecom has 2.8 million. With the two entities combined Airtel will have a market share of over 39 per cent, the operator said.

“We are delighted at this agreement with Warid, which also happens to be the first in-market acquisition in Bharti Airtel’s history,” said Manoj Kohli, MD and CEO at Bharti Airtel.

”We believe this market con-solidation offers great synergies by bringing together the best of Airtel and Warid to better serve customers in Uganda and drive forward our vision of offering affordable best in-class services in Africa. This development will translate to a healthier telecom sector in Uganda which will be ready to invest & grow in wire-less broadband and mCom-

merce services”.The agreement is subject to

regulatory and statutory approv-als.

Meanwhile, rival Sistema Shy-am TeleServices, which operates the MTS India brand, has an-nounced that Dmitry Shukov will take over from Vsevolod Rozanov as president and CEO. Shukov is expected to take the helm on June 1, 2013.

With 20 years of work experi-ence, starting his career as an en-gineer, Shukov is an MTS veteran and previously held the roles of CEO at MTS Turkmenistan and MTS Uzbekistan.

Mikhail Shamolin, president of Sistema JSFC, said: “Dmitry has a wealth of operational experi-ence, business acumen, and in-spirational leadership needed to spearhead SSTL’s next phase of growth. We welcome his appoint-ment and look forward to his con-tribution in taking the company to OIBDA-positive stage.”

Outgoing president and CEO Rozanov will take on a senior po-sition within the firm, MTS stat-ed.

And over the border in Bang-ladesh, telecoms regulator the BTRC is proposing to delay the country’s 3G spectrum auction from June to July 2013. The move comes after Bangladesh’s govern-ment approved measures to offer eight blocks of 5Mhz, instead of four blocks of 10Mhz, to encour-age the smaller networks to par-ticipate in the auction, according to local newspaper the Daily Star.

Telenor to enter Bulgaria

www.telecoms.com

April 29, 2013 Written by Dawinderpal Sahota

Norwegian operator group Tel-enor has agreed to acquire Bul-garian mobile operator Globul from Greek operator group OTE. Telenor will pay €717m for the business as it looks to expand its presence in Central and Eastern Europe.

Globul is Bulgaria’s second largest mobile operator in terms of customer numbers with its 4.5 million subscribers as of Decem-ber 2012, surpassed only by rival Mobitel’s 5.5 million subscribers, according to Informa’s WCIS.

Jon Fredrik Baksaas, Telenor Group president and CEO, said he believes that Telenor, with its scale and experience, will be able to create value in the Bulgarian

market by combining it with Globul’s market knowledge.

Telenor Group already has operations in Central and East-ern Europe, in Hungary, Serbia and Montenegro. The operator said its entrance into the Bul-garian market increases the po-tential for cross-border co-oper-ation and increased efficiency.

“We also see a potential in expansion of mobile data and internet-based services in the market,” added Kjell-Morten Johnsen, executive VP and head of Europe.

The acquisition also covers telecom retailer Germanos Bul-garia, which is operationally in-tegrated with Globul.

BT to help build O2’s 4G network as it searches for operator partner

UK incumbent BT has signed a ten year deal with mobile operator O2 to support its launch of 4G LTE services. BT will build a high capacity transmission network for the Telefónica subsidiary as O2’s roll out of 4G services later this year is expected to place even greater pressure on its network.

The managed network solution from BT Wholesale will provide O2 with the network capacity required to support the increasing de-mands of customers choosing its planned 4G services, said BT.

BT also said it will provide O2 with a sizeable increase in backhaul capacity by delivering the mobile backhaul links between its base sta-tions and the new transmission network. The new transmission net-work will also help O2 migrate from legacy TDM to Ethernet based IP services, according to BT.

Meanwhile BT has announced that it is looking to partner with a mobile operator to provide services for its own staff and for its BT Retail enterprise customers. An agreement with Vodafone ceased af-ter Vodafone acquired BT rival Cable and Wireless for £1bn in July last year.

BT maintained it has no plans to offer LTE services to consumers despite having splashed out £200m on 4G spectrum in the UK’s Feb-ruary auction, and added that its latest deal with O2 is “completely separate” to its search for an operator partner.

“The announcement about us looking for a mobile operator part-ner is for our own staff and the customers we sell to via BT retail – particularly SMEs and large enterprise customers to whom we sell managed mobile services,” a BT spokesperson told Telecoms.com.

Telekom Austria Group revamps mobile and fixed networksMay 2, 2013

Operator group Telekom Austria has deployed a converged voice network to replace its existing mobile core for its northern operational markets in Austria, Slovenia and Liechtenstein.

Chinese kit vendor ZTE supplied Telekom with a circuit switched/IP multimedia subsystem (CS/IMS) converged voice net-work, which was implemented by local system integrator Kapsch CarrierCom.

The converged voice solutions provided to Telekom Austria Group are based on a cloud solution to help the operator reduce total cost of ownership. The IMS network will support various scenarios including RCSe and VoLTE and will help Telekom Austria to increase its network capacity and enable rapid growth of the operator’s customer base, according to ZTE.

“The new ZTE CS/IMS network opens up the future for Telekom Austria Group,” said Hans Pichler, CTO of Telekom Aus-tria Group. “It will enable us to easily expand our business while giving our customers the best possible experience of the latest fixed and mobile communication services.”

The group has also built a commercial 100 gigabit transport network in Central and Eastern Europe, the first section of which, from Zagreb to Osijek and Ilok in Croatia, is already in operation. The network is being built to satisfy the ever increasing de-mand for high-speed services in Central and Eastern Europe and to meet customer demands even more effectively in the region.

“With this important technology upgrade the Telekom Austria Group will be able to offer redundant high speed data high-ways to all major cities in the CEE area,” said Darko Parun, project leader and director of group access and transport at Telekom Austria Group.

Vipnet, the Croatian subsidiary of the Telekom Austria Group, has already implemented a 100G transmission capacity by upgrading the transmission capacities, based on the existing Alcatel-Lucent 100G platform. The group said that the upgrade allows a tenfold increase in capacity on its Croatian network. It added that throughout its entire network footprint, capacities will be expanded to 100G.

By the end of the 2Q13, the route between Frankfurt, Germany and Sofia, Bulgaria will see the first 100G services opera-tional. Throughout the remainder of 2013 Vienna, Belgrade, Zagreb, Bucharest, Budapest, Ivancice and Salzburg will also be connected with 100G networks.
