Band-X has deployed NexTone Communications’ iView Management System (iVMS) enabling Band-X to more efficiently manage its carrier-to-carrier VoIP interconnects while optimizing margins for increased profitability. Band-X's use of iVMS makes it possible for the company to expand its product line by offering a new Managed VoIP Session Controller Partition service to its growing customer base. NexTone's iVMS is an intelligent network management tool delivering increased visibility, end-to-end provisioning, troubleshooting, and analysis of a carrier's VoIP traffic in real-time. iVMS also enables the logical partitioning of NexTone's Multiprotocol Session Controller (MSC), allowing virtual MSCs to share the same physical infrastructure while maintaining dedicated control of quality of service (QoS), privileges, and other important VoIP characteristics.  iVMS' logical partitioning functionality enables Band-X to sell hosted VoIP services to customers of any size while dramatically lowering the costs and risks associated with VoIP network expansion. As part of the new service offering, Band-X will partition NexTone's MSC and add in its own support services to offer a new Managed VoIP Session Controller Partition service.  As a result, Band-X will be able to address the growing market of companies that want all the benefits of VoIP services, but do not want the cost or complexity of managing session controller equipment themselves. Band-X will also act as a preferred NexTone partner in the U.K and Europe. As a preferred Nextone partner, Band-X will provide managed Nextone session controller partitions to companies looking to buy a Nextone session controller but limited by their size or operational expertise.
