Regional Spotlight: Korea
 


BroadSoft Forms the Foundation of VoIP Services in South Korea

BroadSoft’s VoIP software provides the platform for VoIP services offered by five of the leading service providers in South Korea, including KT (formerly Korea Telecom), Hanaro Telecom, Samsung Networks, and Dacom. These carriers (in addition to one not yet announced) use the BroadWorks platform to create and deliver VoIP service offerings to the sophisticated South Korean market. BroadSoft’s success in Korea comes through multiple channels, with both direct sales and channel wins to allow South Korean telecommunications carriers to develop advanced VoIP services. South Korea has the highest percentage of broadband penetration worldwide, making the area ripe for VoIP service offerings.

“We chose BroadSoft over the competition because their technology fully meets our service requirements for reliability and flexibility,” said Mr. Park, Internet Telephony Team Head at Samsung Networks.  “By taking advantage of the BroadWorks open architecture and comprehensive range of integrated VoIP applications, we can offer a suite of services that bring business benefits directly to our corporate customers.  We look forward to a long working relationship with BroadSoft and to delivering compelling new services that meet the needs of major organizations.”  SEE PRESS RELEASE

KT, Korea’s largest communications service provider, Hanaro Telecom, Korea's second largest wireline and broadband service provider, and Dacom, another leading VoIP service provider in Korea, will deploy Lucent's Voice over the Internet Protocol (VoIP) solution to offer advanced services to enterprise customers. The Lucent solution includes the BroadWorks VoIP application platform to offer the latest call features to enterprise customers, such as traditional call forwarding and conference calling, as well as innovative IP-based features that can include interactive voice response, one-number calling and Web-based integrated business features that allow customers to manage their voice services via their computers.

Product Notes:
 


BroadSoft Launches New Desktop Application, BroadWorks Communicator

The BroadSoft softphone, BroadWorks Communicator, brings the functionality of an IP desk phone to a PC for a fraction of the cost. With a high-speed Internet connection, users have both audio and video calling capabilities through the BroadWorks Communicator. Mobile workers, remote workers, and even those road warriors stranded in a coffee shop between meetings, can still access their contact list, place and forward calls, and initiate a video or audio conference call from any location. The BroadWorks Communicator softphone brings these advanced calling capabilities to the enterprise workforce without the hardware costs associated with deploying IP desk phones. SEE PRESS RELEASE

Mobile PBX: Mobile Operators Find a Winning Product for the Enterprise Market

In 2005, BroadSoft launched its Mobile PBX application to expand an enterprise’s hosted PBX functionality to fixed and mobile environments. This application lets mobile operators target the enterprise market with highly differentiated features and functionality – all the features from the office phone on the mobile phone. Enterprises gain increased productivity and efficiency in daily communications for their mobile workforce. BroadSoft’s Mobile PBX application is available now and is currently being deployed with mobile operators worldwide. SEE PRESS RELEASE
