BroadSoft Launches Innovative Mobile PBX Application
Leading VoIP Technology Allows Mobile Operators
to More Effectively Serve Enterprise Market With a Rich Voice and
Multimedia Offering
NEW ORLEANS - March 14, 2005 - BroadSoft®,
Inc., the leading provider of VoIP application software, today announced
at CTIA Wireless the immediate availability of its innovative new
BroadWorks® Mobile PBX application. The new application is a
carrier-class product that allows mobile operators to offer rich
network-based voice and multimedia services to mobile handsets.
BroadWorks Mobile PBX was designed to bridge the current gap between
the advanced voice and multimedia features available on landline
phones in the enterprise versus the limited range of enterprise
features on mobile phones. Now, end-users gain the best of both
worlds by unifying the benefits of mobility with next-generation
enterprise PBX features. BroadSoft's Mobile PBX application is currently
operationally deployed in trials with incumbent carriers in multiple
regions around the world.
For mobile operators, this expanded portfolio of services creates
new opportunities for increased revenues from enterprise sales that
can significantly enhance average revenue per user (ARPU). Mobile
operators using BroadSoft's Mobile PBX application platform can
expand their portfolio of marketable services well beyond basic
push-to-talk features. These new features include auto attendant,
click-to-dial, hunt groups, call center functionality, mobile extension
dialing, video telephony, instant messaging and other innovative
capabilities. Additional enterprise benefits include enhanced distributed
workforce productivity, a web-based interface to easily manage and
provision users, reduced total cost of ownership, and flexible migration
possibilities.
Through its IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) architecture compliance
(see today's related release - BroadSoft Announces First Available
IMS-Compliant VoIP Application Platform), BroadSoft enables carriers
to host and deliver enhanced features over mobile, fixed, or converged
networks. IMS reduces the risks of launching new services by spreading
returns and customer acquisition costs across both wireless and
fixed-line customer bases.
"BroadSoft's Mobile PBX application, coupled with our pioneering
IMS position, is a natural extension of our leadership position
in the wireline market," said Michael Tessler, chief executive officer
of BroadSoft. "For the first time, mobile operators can unify the
delivery of next-generation applications and align enterprise users
more closely with workflow and business processes."
Mobile PBX applications, with or without IMS, support a full range
of mobile IP communications scenarios:
- Mobile Hosted PBX: a solution which offers a wide set of features
to mobile users, without a need for a fixed-line PBX
- Mobile Extension to PBX: a solution for enterprises who wish
to extend their fixed-line PBX capabilities to mobile users through
a separate, parallel system
- Hybrid Hosted PBX: a solution for an enterprise seeking both
fixed and mobile access to PBX capabilities
