Telefonica Moviles 3G Video Through Acme Packet

22 November , 2005

Europe Spain : Acme Packet announced that Telefonica Moviles Espana, Group Telefonica Moviles' mobile operator in Spain, is using Acme Packet's Net-Net session border controllers ( see above ) to deliver its new 3G video telephony services. Telefonica Moviles Espana offers digital mobile and telephony services in Spain under the brand name of "Movistar." It is the Spanish market leader, with more than 19.6 million subscribers.

This new 3G, SIP-based, video telephony service, enables subscribers to use both wireless and wireline connections for their interactive video communications. In delivering this service, Acme Packet's Net-Net session border controllers support subscriber access. They provide a comprehensive set of security functions including access control, network topology hiding and DoS protection against both signaling and media attacks and overloads. To maximize the numbers of subscribers reachable by the service, the adaptive NAT traversal feature enables the video calls to cross existing data firewalls at the customer premise over a broadband connection from a secure network element managed by Telefonica Moviles Espana.

"Telefonica Moviles Espana is taking the lead among the major wireless providers to actually deliver innovative interactive communication services," declared Andy Ory, president and CEO, Acme Packet. "This deployment with Telefonica Moviles Espana also significantly extends our relationship with Group Telefonica from wireline hosted business and residential VoIP services to wireless."
