LOS ALTOS, CA & MARKHAM, ON–(Marketwired – February 22, 2017) – Cloud native communications software leader Metaswitch today announced that Iristel and its subsidiary Ice Wireless have selected Metaswitch solutions as the basis of a virtualized VoLTE deployment that brings high speed wireless services to previously underserved areas of northern Canada.
“The virtualization is key for us,” said Samer Bishay, CEO of Iristel. “We wanted something that was agile and compact that allows us to layer services as software rather than being tied to proprietary hardware deployments. It’s very expensive to fly somebody up to do a remote deployment in the Arctic, versus creating a service layer that can be provisioned remotely, instantaneously, with no disruption of service. This is going to be exciting, not just for us, but also for the people living up there who are now able to tap into services that they could have only dreamed of just a few months back.”
