XO Communications (News - Alert) will join the Switch and Data’s PAIX VoIP Exchange marketplace, designed to enable global, end-to-end VoIP call completion.

 

XO can now exchange VoIP traffic directly with other PAIX VoIP Exchange members without relying on traditional telephone networks. The company will also able to offer members XO VoIP Origination and XO VoIP Termination services, allowing members to make and deliver VoIP calls nationwide across the public switched telephone network. All this will be achieved through a single connection to the XO network at the PAIX VoIP Exchange.

 

According to Mario Galvez, vice president of product marketing at Switch and Data the addition of XO to their PAIX VoIP Exchange is a win-win for the marketplace- Switch and Data, XO and both companies' customers.

 

Switch and Data is reportedly focused on leveraging their PAIX peering infrastructure and extensive choice of networks and applications to provide the ideal environment for VoIP providers.

 

“XO will immediately be able to execute VoIP calling origination and termination while also leveraging the marketplace of service providers supporting VoIP and the density of networks available in our data centers,” said Galvez in a statement to the press.

 

Switch and Data's facilities are hoped to serve as neutral marketplaces where users and providers of VoIP related services colocate and may realize cost savings and greater efficiencies through the density of networks for interconnection to suppliers, customers and other VoIP providers.

 

Don MacNeil, vice president of operations of XO Carrier Services points out that VoIP peering continues to grow as the popular platform for service providers to exchange traffic at interconnection points with large communities of interest.

 

MacNeil believes the PAIX VoIP Exchange will enable XO to cost-effectively exchange IP voice traffic and offer members a single point of access to the broad, nationwide reach of their network and services.'
