The service is already available in the UK. Customers can connect to BT’s IP Exchange hubs using a BT’s MPLS network with points of presence (PoPs) in over 170 countries.

BT has recently introduced a pre-pay facility and customers can also benefit from the interface between BT’s Ribbit and the IP Exchange platforms.

For mobile network operators, IP Exchange offers mobile GSM signalling over IP (SIGTRAN) - the IP version of BT’s successful time division multiplexing (TDM) Roam Connect product.

This service delivers IP originated text messages and signalling around the world to over 600 mobile operators using BT’s resilient multi protocol label switching (MPLS) access.

Cameron Rejali, MD, products, BT Wholesale: “BT’s IP Exchange service is designed to simplify the technical and commercial complexity of achieving IP interoperability, leaving customers free to concentrate on meeting the needs of their end customers."
