The MVTS II is a next-generation switching platform targeted towards carriers running 3+ million minutes of VoIP calls per month. This MERA’s best-selling product has been recently enhanced with flexible routing and billing capabilities.

Another exhibit of the MERA collection is the just-released MVTS Pro. The solution is a class 4 softswitch with session border controller functionality. MVTS Pro is a high performance system designed to handle up to 500 CPS.

The show is rapidly expanding its VoIP content and, with more than 600 carrier-grade deployments of its own around the world, MERA is a most welcome and highly relevant addition to the array of world class vendors who will gather in Singapore. We eagerly await their presence and contribution to what is likely to be the largest ever show”.
