TELUS to Use Nominum IPRD

TELUS has selected Nominum Inc.’s carrier-grade IP-application routing directory (IPRD) Navitas to help grow its wholesale interconnect and peering business as it accelerates the move from the traditional TDM network to IP, the companies said Tuesday.

Nominum Navitas enables Canadian-based TELUS to optimize its call and session routes while creating new differentiated wholesale service offerings, resulting in reduced interconnect costs, simplified operations and new sources of revenue, Nominum said.

The platform is an IPRD, a switch-agnostic signaling data repository that consolidates telephony numbering and routing information, and refines routes based on session parameters like cost, quality, capacity and context. TELUS applied Navitas as an IP-based network control point and relies on the following capabilities for improving their business: Eliminating data fragmentation across switching element routing tables through consolidation of numbering and routing plans across IP and TDM networks; signaling capabilities with SIP and ENUM queries; support for parameter-based routing.
