CODETEL, a Verizon company and the Dominican Republic’s principal telecom service provider, has selected the Succession Media Gateway 9000 for its VoIP network migration. Under terms of a recent agreement, Nortel Networks will deploy an IP network for CODETEL, transitioning its local access network, international long-distance and other voice and data traffic onto one packet-switched infrastructure. The deployment will include Nortel Networks Succession Communication Server 2000 superclass softswitches and Passport Packet Voice Gateways, as well as Nortel Networks Passport 15000 and Passport 20000 Multiservice Switches.
