MetaSwitch has added BroadStar Communications and Norlight Telecommunications to its customer roster, which now numbers more than 20 competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs).

MetaSwitch’s Secure IP Migration Platform for the Local Exchange (SIMPLE) solution integrates IP Next-Generation Networking (IP NGN) technologies from Cisco Systems, to provide carrier-class, IP-based communications services, with a clear migration path to IMS.

BroadStar operates in the Southeastern United States, targeting luxury residential properties, including condominiums. BroadStar implemented Cisco integrated access devices (IADs) and Cisco 7600 Series Routers with a flexible softswitch application server platform from MetaSwitch to deliver the triple play over an all-IP access network.

MetaSwitch and Cisco helped Norlight, which serves wholesale and business customers, re-engineer its network and launch a suite of new IP voice services in less than four months.
