Dear Readers,

Welcome to the first edition of Symbio VoIP Update, Symbio Networks' official monthly review of the latest headline news, hot topics, technologies and operations coming out of Symbio within the region.

Our August edition focuses on the current HOT topic of IPND compliance for VoIP service providers within Australia and Symbio's solution to allow Australian service providers to comply with these regulatory requirements. Also in this edition is the integration of our proprietary SONAR BSS and OSS solution with the Optus Bigfoot network, some changes within our Operations Team and an insight into some big plans for 2009.

The Symbio Networks Team

Symbio's IPND Compliance Solution

As many of you within the Australian VoIP industry may be aware, ACMA (Australian Communications and Media Authority) recently sent a letter to all Australian VoIP service providers stating that they must comply with the regulatory obligations around population of the Integrated Public Number Database (IPND).

Symbio Networks have developed a solution to enable all service providers on the Symbio Managed VoIP Platform (MVP) with Symbio-assigned Direct-In-Dial (DID) numbers, an interface to upload their customer data to the IPND. This solution is available NOW!

For more information about how to take advantage of this solution or to port your Australian DID's to Symbio, please contact your account manager or send an email to wholesale@symbionetworks.com

Symbio Networks IPND Compliance Solution

Symbio complete SONAR integration to the Optus Bigfoot Network

Symbio recently completed the successful integration of the Optus Bigfoot network with our proprietary SONAR OSS and BSS platform and managed ISP network solution.

The integration allows us to offer whitelabel ADSL2+ services to Internet Service Providers (ISP's) on our managed platform (MVP), provided they are existing Optus Bigfoot wholesale customers. The addition of the ability to offer these services provides more ‘value-add' to the Symbio managed service platform, further contributing to it being recognised as one of the leading managed converged services networks within Australia and New Zealand.

This whitelabel ISP offering is an application of Symbio's ISP network solution, entirely designed, engineered and integrated by Symbio Networks. Our ISP Network solution is capable of interfacing with other wholesale aggregation networks in different markets around the world provided a well structure B2B interface is defined.
