Managed voice services provider Band-X has installed NexTone Communications iView Management System (iVMS) so it can better manage its carrier-to-carrier VoIP interconnects.

Band-X, based in the United Kingdom, says the iVMS also is making it possible for the provider to expand its offerings to include a new managed VoIP session controller partition service.

The iVMS is a network management tool for provisioning, troubleshooting and analyzing carriers VoIP traffic in real time. It also enables partitioning of NexTones Multiprotocol Session Controller, which Band-X uses to sell hosted VoIP services. Band-X says, via the MSC, it also will offer a new managed VoIP session controller partition service for companies wanting VoIP service without having to buy or manage session controller equipment.
