Sirius Telecom to Use Equinox's ExtractCDR to Convert Softswitch Data into 'Usable' Formats. Check it out:Sirius Telecom, which provides carrier-class switch partitions, switch services and co-location space in Los Angeles and New York, has reportedly selected Equinox Information Systems’ ExtractCDR reporting software to transform raw switch data and billing records generated from the Veraz Control Switch into usable formats.
Sirius first announced that it was deploying the Veraz (News - Alert) Control Switch, made by Veraz Networks, back in January of this year.
ExtractCDR (CDR stands for Call Detail Record) lets users extract data from a soft switch, based on a range of filter parameters, and then put it into a variety of formats, including ASCII, CDR and other custom output formats. The Windows-based software is said to eliminate the chance of errors created by manual translation of usage records. In addition to allowing the user to filter records based on a variety of parameters, ExtractCDR also processes records in real-time or batch mode.
“Sirius considered other commercial software applications as well as the option to develop a custom application internally,” commented Dan Maxwell, EVP of operations for Sirius Telecom, in a press release. “We determined that ExtractCDR was the best option given the software’s price point and native ability to integrate with our Veraz Networks’ Softswitch platform.”
“ExtractCDR will definitely improve the efficiency of Sirius’ billing and customer service processes,” explained David West, Equinox’s executive vice president. “Equinox looks forward to future collaborations with Sirius to address and improve other operational processes vital to their business.”
Sirius Telecom’s customer base is primarily comprised of International PTT’s, Tier 1 telecom carriers and enterprise service providers. It supports virtually all legacy TDM formats, in addition to next generation VOIP solutions.
