UniGate SWITCHING

Telecommunication liberalization is a global trend. The global network has been evolving from a full mesh topology among countries with a dominant domestic monopoly in each country to a network environment that both country boundary and domestic monopoly are disappearing. Global and regional carriers are emerging with individual network structure across borders. When paired interconnections among carriers become too abundant, the need of regional communication Hubs becomes evident. However, the nature of the telecom business is competition and collaboration. A carrier affiliated regional Hub or Exchange Center is not in the best interest of those carriers that are connected. With its position of natural aggregator, The UniGate Group is the optimum choice for running such a carriers-neutral exchange center.
