Under an agreement with the Bahamas Telecommunications Company Ltd., or BTC, Sonus Networks said it will migrate the Bahamas' wireline network to an Internet protocol-base infrastructure.

“BTC is ahead of many major carriers in its adoption of IP-based telephony," Hassan Ahmed, the chief executive and chairman at Sonus Networks, said in a statement.
