MetaSwitch class 5 switch wins first BTexact Blue Stamp


UNITED KINGDOM -- Fujitsu Telecommunications Europe Ltd has announced that MetaSwitch VP3000 next gen class 5 switch is the first voice switch to have passed BTexact Technologies' new 'Blue Stamp' accreditation process against the SS7 protocol. MetaSwitch products form part of Fujitsu's complete voice-over-DSL solution, integrating with the Fujitsu FDX xDSL access platform.

Recognised and approved by BT Wholesale, BT's applications and network business, 'Blue Stamp' tests verify that telecom equipment operates correctly to relevant international and UK standards and protocols, such as SS7 and SDH, and will work reliably when connected into networks that contain other manufacturers' products. Successful completion of the tests results in equipment being granted Blue Stamp accreditation, indicating that it is suitable for connection to BT's networks, subject, in certain cases, to a final check to ensure it is correctly installed and configured. The introduction of Blue Stamp allows telecom equipment manufacturers to gain accreditation for their products before approaching potential customers.

MetaSwitch VP3000 delivers a rich set of subscriber services over both legacy and broadband access lines, with exceptional levels of reliability and performance. The result is a true carrier-class solution that meets service providers' requirement to deploy revenue-generating services today while migrating towards next generation network architecture.
