LONDON-Global Crossing announced an upcoming extranet offering designed to allow operators to deliver voice and video applications over a single connection from a neutral provider.
Wireless Services Exchange will be launched in multiple phases, with an initial introduction of mobile-to-mobile routing with caller-line identity and point-to-point video and differentiated billing slated for launch in the next several months. A second release, scheduled for later this year, will include global roaming exchange services, short messaging services and multimedia messaging services.
“Global Crossing Wireless Services Exchange enables consistent delivery of feature-rich services by connecting disparate mobile networks,” said Keith Mallinson, executive vice president for wireless and mobile research at The Yankee Group. “Global Crossing’s leadership in converged IP services makes it an ideal partner for mobile operators looking to migrate to an all-IP world.”
