Background
Bouygues Telecom is one of the largest telecoms operators in France, with a base of 17.8 million customers including 3.4 million fixed broadband customers. The company’s enterprise division provides fixed, mobile and internet solutions to 3 million users with 1.6 million mobile lines.
Bouygues had previously introduced IP-based hosted telephony with unified communications and SIP trunking services, initially based on a Cirpack softswitch which was replaced more recently by a BroadSoft solution. Because Bouygues needed a simple and reliable way to connect new customers to the service, the optimal solution was to deploy enterprise SBCs on the customer premises. The chosen SBCs had to ensure reliable SIP trunk connectivity with Bouygues’ core platforms, deliver proven interoperability with a vast range of different customer PBX and unified communications platforms and be scalable to meet any customer premises requirements.
