Press Release
BroadSoft Platform at Core of Unient's Turnkey
Wholesales VoIP Service for European Carriers
Off-the-Shelf Solution Enables Carriers to Launch
Branded IP Centrex and Residential Broadband Services in Weeks
GAITHERSBURG, MD, May 16, 2005 - BroadSoft®, Inc., the
leading provider of VoIP application software, today announced that
Unient Communications a.s., a pan-European telecommunications systems
provider, is using the BroadSoft BroadWorks VoIP application platform
to offer European carriers the most comprehensive wholesale IP Centrex,
hosted PBX and residential broadband service. Unient's viphone service
bundles BroadWorks' complete range of advanced voice features, such
as user-configurable voicemail-to-email and find-me, follow-me services,
with extensive professional services, including training, portal
development, billing and localization for Europe's multi-lingual
market.
As a BroadWorks systems integrator for major incumbents, such as
Slovak Telecom, Unient provides European carriers a smooth migration
path from a shared to a dedicated VoIP network solution. By minimizing
CAPEX (capital expenditures) and providing a full suite of professional
services, Unient's viphone wholesale service removes barriers to
entry for small carriers while enabling large carriers to focus
on customer acquisition and long-term strategies rather than technical
implementations of a VoIP service.
"BroadSoft is the clear leader in the hosted VoIP space in Europe,"
said Pavel Chlupácek, chairman of Unient. "BroadWorks' best-in-class
technology and platform architecture readily supports wholesale
offerings and third-party development, including localization, which
is crucial for this market. By choosing BroadSoft, we're able to
deliver wholesale services that carriers can launch quickly to begin
earning revenue in their target market."
"The wholesale model is essential in the European market for carriers
who want to launch localized hosted VoIP services quickly without
the challenges of building a network," said Michael Tessler, CEO
and chairman of BroadSoft. "With their unique combination of wholesale
offerings and extensive professional services, Unient is successfully
serving this market by enabling carriers to get to market as quickly
and simply as possible."
BroadSoft's BroadWorks VoIP application platform provides a comprehensive
range of advanced applications, including hosted PBX, IP Centrex,
mobile PBX, business trunking and residential broadband services
fully integrated into a single VoIP application platform. BroadWorks
is uniquely capable of providing these applications with the reliability,
redundancy, scalability and regulatory capabilities required to
deliver carrier-class service. BroadWorks has been deployed in 35
countries and more than 25 languages.
