VOIP peering - the interconnection of separately administered IP networks for the mutual gain of service providers and their customers - is exploding, as evidenced by three major announcements made yesterday by companies operating in the VOIP peering space.

This is according to TMCNet, which adds that XConnect, one the largest providers of "Plug and Peer" VOIP federation-based interconnection services, announced that it had acquired IPeerX, a leading VOIP peering company owned by Pulver.com Enterprises, for an undisclosed sum.

VOIP E911 technology provider Intrado has deployed Intrado V911 Services in California`s Los Angeles County, writes TMCNet.

"Intrado worked closely with public safety officials from the county to develop, load and manage geographic information systems, shape files designating public safety answering point emergency service number boundaries and the associated boundary data for each Emergency Service Zone," notes the article.

Intrado says its V911 Services enables VOIP service providers meet their 911 obligations. The system supports the provision of a Master Street Address Guide (MSAG) validated address directly to the 911 call taker`s computer screen via the native 911 network. The MSAG serves as a municipality`s 911 address database, and is used to determine how to dispatch help to a specific location.
