Ribbon Communications has announced that TNS, a global leader in trusted voice communications, will incorporate Ribbon technologies in the TNS Hosted Cloud Connect solution.
The carrier-grade voice solution helps Communications Service Providers (CSPs) modernize their voice networks without the cost and complexity of owning and operating voice infrastructure.
Hosted Cloud Connect is purpose-built for CSPs seeking a practical modernization path that avoids the disruption, cost and risk of a traditional network replacement. The solution has already attracted interest from CSPs looking to simplify the management of complex voice environments by reducing the operational burden associated with maintaining legacy switching infrastructure while helping maintain service continuity, reduce operational complexity and support future communications services.
Independent and rural operators face growing pressure from multiple directions. Voice services require extremely high levels of reliability, continuity and operational stability, making it difficult to simply “rip and replace” existing networks. Residential and business customers expect more advanced communications services. These providers must also manage increasing regulatory requirements and a shrinking pool of specialized technical talent. To remain competitive, CSPs must invest in new services while controlling costs and preserving the reliability their customers expect.
Ribbon and TNS address these challenges by leveraging Ribbon's Application Server (AS), Session Border Controller (SBC), and Policy and Routing Server (PSX) and TNS Hosted Cloud Connect to help streamline the transition from on-premises infrastructure to cloud-based voice services while maintaining the voice quality, resiliency, and security required for carrier operations.

For many CSPs, the challenge isn't deciding whether to modernize legacy voice switches, it's finding a cost-effective way to make the transition. TNS Hosted Cloud Connect provides a practical path from legacy infrastructure to a modern cloud-based platform without sacrificing the resiliency, security, and service quality operators require. Together, Ribbon and TNS are helping CSPs simplify operations, lower costs, and extend the value of their voice business.
