Operators Select Taqua for Class 4/5 Network Replacement
COMPTEL PLUS Fall 2015 Business Expo
DAY 1
T
aqua LLC (Booth 311) has announced that
seven additional fixed-line operators have
chosen the Taqua 7000 Intelligent Switching
System to replace their legacy Class 5 networks.
The company said that it continues to see
a trend of incumbent and competitive local
exchange carriers (ILECs and CLECs) replacing their
Class 4/5 legacy switching systems.
“We see a steady base of operators needing to
replace their legacy Class 4/5 switching systems
and deliver IP voice,” said Todd Daniels, vice presi-
dent of sales for Taqua. “In addition, many operators
who made initial legacy replacement decisions,
and others that choose costly front-end upgrades
to their legacy systems, are now turning to Taqua
because of our company and products have proven
to be stable and diverse.”
The new operators choosing the T7000
Intelligent Switching System include:
• Louisa Communications, a subsidiary of The
Mutual Telephone Company of Morning Sun,
providing a wide variety of communications solu-
tions, including customized phone service and
Internet access to cities in southeastern Iowa;
• Buckland Telephone Co., a local provider of
telephone, cable and home security services to
subscribers in and around Buckland, Ohio;
• Swayzee Communications Corp., an inde-
pendent telephone services provider serving
north-central Indiana communities since 1903;
• Yeoman Telephone Co., serving local customers
in Yeoman, Indiana for more than 100 years;
• Farmers andMerchants Mutual Telephone, serving
local customers in theWayland, Iowa, area;
• Oklatel, which has provided telephone services
in East Central Oklahoma since 1973; and
• SharonTelephone Company, which has been
providing telephone service since 1900 to
customers in Hills, Iowa, and its surrounding areas.
The T7000’s VoIP capabilities enable small
carriers to provide bundles of advanced services
to their customers, with the flexibility to provide
a host of new TDM and/or IP-based services in the
future. The T7000 is based on a patented blade-
based switching design in which all the functions
of a switch or IP gateway are performed on a single
circuit pack. The simplicity of the architecture
enables the industry’s lowest deployment and
operational costs for many wireline and wireless
switching applications, Taqua said.
The system also supports a variety of protocols
including SS7, SIP, MGCP, GR-303, CAS, NCS, PRI,
GSM/CDMA, 2G, 3G and 4G.
“Each card in the Taqua 7000 Switching System
(T7000) is a full featured Class 4/5 next-generation
switch capable of providing TDM and IP telephony
services,”Daniels added.
