Sonus Networks Inc. unveiled Monday a new version of its business and residential voice services software platform.

    Access 7.0 leverages Sonus’ IMS architecture allowing operators to reduce deployment time and improve overall security. It also incorporates IMS/TISPAN-compliant access technologies and integrates with third-party or traditional last-mile connections, the company said.

    Sonus said the update is aligned with operator requirements and the access platform serves as a base for the integration of services and any customization efforts that reflect the needs of the service provider. Reusing last-mile connection from the TDM framework saves network operators time during the service integration phase, the company said.
