GENBAND announced a new Automated Cutover capability to its C15 Compact Softswitch this week. The capability ends downtime that usually goes hand-in-hand with transitioning to IP networks.

The new Automated Cutover capability is a software utility embedded in the company's C15 softswitch that allows service providers to migrate legacy networks to IP while not having to shut down their network or perform flash cutovers that can result in loss of service for customers. Inbound and outbound calls can continue to route to the legacy TDM or C15 softswitch automatically. The feature will allow testing for lines and trunk facilities during and after the migration.

"Migrating our network at any time, across multiple sites, without interrupting our subscribers' service will significantly reduce the complexity of network transformation," said Richie Parker, Chief Engineer, Surry Telephone Membership Corp in the release. "In the past, we were limited to what we could complete in a single evening, during non-peak hours. GENBAND's Automated Cutover capability gives us the flexibility to perform a phased migration and cutover which is more effective when migrating multiple and large central offices."

GENBAND's C15 Compact Softswitch allows service providers to offer upgraded IP services while also supporting older TDM buildouts to help providers ease the transition to all-IP.
