Nasstar Taps Ribbon to Power UK Voice Network Transformation for Cloud Era
Upgrade delivers advanced architecture and analytics for next generation communications
PLANO, Texas, Dec. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ribbon Communications Inc. (Nasdaq: RBBN), a global leader in real-time communications technology and IP optical networking solutions, today announced a strategic collaboration with UK distributor Techland, a Gamma Communications ("Gamma") Company to upgrade Nasstar's national voice infrastructure. This initiative reinforces Ribbon's role as a trusted provider to service providers, enterprises and critical infrastructure operators worldwide, helping them modernize and secure their networks and services.
Nasstar, a leading managed IT and cloud services provider supporting large enterprises and public sector organizations, selected Ribbon to replace an incumbent vendor and transition from legacy infrastructure. The upgrade enhances service reliability, reduces operational costs, and enables next-generation capabilities.
"Our previous platform could no longer meet our growing needs, and with its vendor facing uncertainty, we knew it was time for a change. Ribbon's unmatched expertise and comprehensive portfolio made them the ideal partner for this transformation. Their professional services team ensured a seamless migration, while their feature-rich platform and clear innovation roadmap empower us to streamline operations without compromising critical services. This gives us the confidence to scale and innovate in step with our customers' evolving needs," said Darren Horobin, Chief Architect, at Nasstar.
Nasstar is deploying Ribbon's SIP-enabled voice platform, including centralized routing via PSX, voice security via SBC and centralized management via RAMP. Ribbon Analytics provides actionable insights into network performance, and leverages machine learning for fraud detection. This advanced architecture supports national interconnect, SIP PBX trunking and Microsoft Teams integrations.
"Nasstar's decision to move from a competing solution highlights our ability to deliver operational efficiency, security and agility," said Steve McCaffery, Ribbon's Executive Vice President Global Sales "Together, we're building a network that meets today's demands and is ready for tomorrow's opportunities."
