Just a day after we posted about IP peering service assurance, TMCnet ran a story on their site about XConnect, a VoIP peering company, securing $12 million in Round A funding to speed up product development and grow their infrastructure to meet growing demand. Currently, XConnect's peering and ENUM registry services serve more than 400 service provider and carrier customers worldwide.
In the TMCnet story, XConnect CEO Eli Katz made the following remark in a published statement:
“Our federated peering services enable service providers and carriers to deliver compelling new VoIP services and features on a cross-network basis while simultaneously reducing the capital and operational costs inherent in thePSTN model that it is replacing. This investment from a syndicate led by global Tier 1 VCs underscores the importance of peering and registry services in enabling the industry-wide migration from the legacy PSTN to the new generation of IP Communications."
As the migration continues from legacy systems to IP-based services, IP peering service assurance will become much more important to secure a quality user experience for a demanding customer base.
