BroadSoft

Class 5 Overlay

To extend the life of a Class 5 switch, its processing is re-homed to the BroadWorks platform, while the Class 5 switch continues to provide connectivity to the legacy subscribers.

BroadSoft works with service providers to provide a phased migration to VoIP services. A popular first step in Class 5 network overlays is the delivery of BroadWorks Unified Messaging as a replacement for legacy TDM voicemail on the Class 5 switch. This enables service providers to generate revenue and reduce churn through enhanced services:

• Personalized and corporate business continuity
• Click-to-dial: Telephony Tool Bar
• Find Me/Follow Me Services: simultaneous ring
• Fixed Mobile Convergence: BroadWorks Anywhere
• Voice and video mail
