Cavalier upgrading network with MetaSwitch gear

MetaSwitch has begun another significant carrier customer rollout, as it is assisting operator Cavalier as it upgrades its network with media gateways and application server deployments, according to the companies. Cavalier is offering hosted VoIP and other IP communications technology to the SMB market in its Mid-Atlantic market, including areas in Maryland, Delaware, Virginia and Washington, D.C., according to Senior Vice President of Marketing Lou Sommi.

Sommi said in an interview that the MetaSwitch gear allows for flexibility in deployments and is helping Cavalier sell more hosted offerings, which Sommi said are lucrative for the company and allow Cavalier's sales staff to sell to smaller clients. Sommi said the unified communications features made possible by the MetaSwitch platform have been very popular with SMBs, as they can now support mobile workers and enable advanced emergency continuity procedures, functions not possible with legacy TDM gear.
