Equinox to participate in world’s premier communications and technology conference and expo

Nashville, TN. – September 5, 2012 – Equinox today announced its participation in ITEXPO (News - Alert) Austin 2012, one of the world’s largest communications and technology marketplaces, October 2-5 in Austin, TX. Equinox will feature its Business Assurance Solutions at the event’s exhibition at Booth #526, showcasing its ability to detect telecommunications fraud, validate usage revenue and expense, mediate and analyze usage data, and perform various least cost routing and network management functions.


With more than 7,500 expected attendees, ITEXPO Austin 2012 will welcome leading domestic and international companies including enterprises and SMBs seeking to equip their companies with today’s most powerful communications solutions. In addition, thousands of VARs/resellers, manufacturers, service providers and developers will take part in the 4-day event.

Attendees are predominantly high-level corporate and technical executives, giving exhibitors high-visibility to the industry’s most influential buyers, and granting IT decision-makers direct access to the most innovative technological developments and cutting-edge networking solutions available to-date.

Protector is Equinox’s automated fraud management solution. It monitors telecom networks in real time to identify instances in which a customer’s actual usage varies from their expected usage in a manner that suggests fraudulent activity, allowing carriers to:

  • Identify suspicious network activity quickly and stop fraud in progress.
  • Create dynamic profiles to distinguish fraud from honest customer usage.
  • Manage cases through investigation and resolution.
  • Generate multiple reports to document fraud cases and averted losses.

TeleLink is Equinox’s flagship revenue assurance platform. It mediates, enriches and summarizes usage data, which it captures and presents for reporting and analysis functions, as well as mediates the usage data to downstream BSS and OSS solutions. By performing these tasks, it makes usage data actionable.

TeleLink’s reporting and data integration features are extremely robust, allowing disparate usage data to easily be standardized, searched, stored and retrieved. TeleLink’s advanced call detail analytics, call reconciliation, invoice reconstruction and margin analysis tools provide essential revenue management, expense management, and network management benefits.

“Our reputation in the telecommunication industry has stood the test of time because we continue to deliver reliable, affordable software systems that produce results in addition to providing customer support that goes beyond the call,” said David Ledbetter, Equinox’s National Sales Director. “We are committed to the success of our customers, including helping them protect their bottom line. We accomplish this task by providing industry-leading fraud management and revenue assurance tools, in the form of Protector and TeleLink.”

The Evolution of Session Border Control
Session Border Controllers have come a long way since they were first conceived in the early 2000s as a simple, security-focused element. As service providers and enterprises began deploying more advanced real-time applications over IP-including Unified Communications, video, instant messaging, and conferencing-the burden on SBCs grew in step.

The ABCs of PCI DSS + VoIP
As the boundaries between VoIP and IP-based data networks continue to blur, enterprises would be wise to apply the same levels of network security across all entrypoints. Session border controllers are designed to protect VoIP network borders from unauthorized entry, but not all SBCs are created equal in terms of security features and functionality.
