Founded in 2002 by a core group of telecom industry veterans, TelcoBridges Inc. has since grown to approximately fifty employees located around the world. TelcoBridges’ first family of products were hardware blades (CompactPCI) targeted at the computer telephony integration (CTI) marketplace. First shipped in 2003, they innovated on two fronts: offering support for multiple concurrent telephony signaling protocols (SIP, SS7 and ISDN) in the same device; and market-leading density in each blade. Starting in 2007, TelcoBridges introduced the first of new lines of products based on a rack-mount form factor of 1U or 2U enclosures. This enabled TelcoBridges to continue adding functionality, capacity and performance to its products, something that the CompactPCI form factor did not easily permit.
As of 2010, the company offers three distinct product lines, each addressing a specific series of market requirements, while leveraging a common architectural heritage that provides unparalleled system density and performance, while ensuring exceptional energy efficiency and operating cost effectiveness. They are:
• The Tmedia™ family of media gateways, which support the needs of service providers looking to drive network convergence, consolidate multiple disparate devices, or more cost-effectively expand their network footprints.
• The Tdev™ family of computer-telephony integration (CTI) and telecom development platforms, which are targeted at solutions developers looking to create and market value-added services for wireline and wireless networks.
• The Tmonitor™ family of network monitoring devices, which enable service providers to achieve business objectives such as network performance monitoring, billing reconciliation and fraud detection, both over wireline and wireless networks. They also enable service providers to meet lawful intercept and E911 obligations and offer the ability to aggregate and monetize subscriber positional data generated by mobile network traffic.
A key source of competitive advantage for TelcoBridges is its in-house R&D team, accounting for approximately two-thirds of the company’s workforce. By designing its own hardware logic via integrated circuits known as FPGAs, TelcoBridges has been able to pack a significant amount of functionality into a small form factor, enabling it to combine support for multiple industry standards and protocols in a single, very dense device. TelcoBridges complements this unified hardware platform with a complete series of software offerings that meet the different needs of its partners.
TelcoBridges’ partners have developed and deployed carrier-grade telecom solutions in more than 50 countries around the world, across all product lines. A sample of customers of our partners includes China Mobile, Telekom Malaysia, SK Telecom, and Hutchison Telecom, among others. Thanks to its revenue growth, TelcoBridges is ranked as #175 within the Deloitte North American Fast 500 for the period spanning 2004-2008.
Headquartered in Boucherville, Québec, Canada, TelcoBridges also has representative offices in Paris, Hong Kong, Seoul and Silicon Valley. Assembly and testing of hardware is performed at the headquarters in Boucherville, while technical support is provided both from Boucherville as well from Hong Kong.
