Comstar deploys Russia-wide VoIP network using Nortel
Nortel CS 2000 IP multimedia softswitchComstar United TeleSystems, the largest fixed-line telecommunications company in Moscow, has fully deployed a VoIP transit backbone network that spans Russia. Comstar’s VoIP network is built on the Nortel Communication Server (CS) 2000 IP multimedia softswitch.
The Russia-wide CS 2000 transit network creates a nation-wide network to address national and international PSTN transit traffic exclusively using Voice over IP technology. Russia is, of course, the largest country in the world — spanning more than an eighth of the Earth’s land area.

Also yesterday, Nortel announced that Turk Telecom was providing Centrex IP and SIP multimedia services to corporate customers and SMBs in Turkey using a Nortel solution that includes the CS 2000 softswitch, as well as the Business Services Gateway (BSG) and Nortel SIP phones on the customer premise.
One service that Turk Telecom will provide is Mobile Extension, which gives workers the ability to connect mobile phones into their company’s corporate network and use the same in-office phone functionality and services they are used to — such as short dialing and single voicemail.
Both of these wins reinforce Nortel’s global leadership in the Carrier VoIP market. According to Dell’Oro Group, Nortel is the worldwide leader in carrier VoIP and has maintained that position for the last six years (2002-2007). Nortel has shipped 88 million carrier IP voice and multimedia ports to approximately 300 carriers globally.
