InfiniRoute Networks, a company aiming to be an carrier-neutral provider of VoIP managed peering services, has announced the availability of its peering service for wireless operators.

Based on InfiniRoute's Managed VoIP Peering (MVP) service launched last year, the offering provides mobile carriers with the ability to terminate and receive international traffic using VoIP technology.

"Mobile carriers represent a growing share of outbound international traffic,” said Andrew Burroughs, chief marketing officer at InfiniRoute, in a statement. “In many countries, more than 50% of all international calls now originate over mobile handsets. However, very few mobile carriers have established international VoIP networks. This is largely due to the network complexities, capital and operating costs associated with VoIP architectures."

Carrier benefits include greater access to global markets, without the need for extensive TDM networks. Also, mobile networks can leverage VoIP to deliver international traffic at lower costs over a scalable and inexpensive packet-based infrastructure. In addition, suing a carrier-neutral IP service results in lower capital expenditures associated with emerging technologies, while carriers gain a time-to-market edge.
