With Alianza, LBiSat provides the high quality and low latency needed to communicate by satellite with remote sites and leverage a broader range of IP telephony and voice applications. As latency is an issue for all satellite communications, LBiSat uses iDirect hub technology due to its superior ability to support IP within a satellite environment. With this technology in place, LBiSat wanted to expand its VoIP services to include Class 5 functionality. Alianza’s award-winning platform is built on a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) design. It works with iDirect hub technology to shape packets travelling over the Internet so that latency is low and the quality of the voice call is consistently high. It also includes a carrier-grade session border controller, soft switch, carrier interface, virtual PBX, billing support system and device provisioning module. “Many of our customers, such as the U.S. Forest Service, are involved in emergency and disaster recovery efforts in remote areas. They demand high-quality, low-latency VoIP services -- which can be a challenge for satellite-based communications,” said Mike Lyman, director of project management at LBiSat. “Alianza was the only vendor offering high-quality voice and a complete host of features all bundled into one.”
