SAN DIEGO, CA and GAITHERSBURG, MD, US, Feb. 11, 2008 - Rodopi Software, a provider of billing and provisioning for broadband services, and BroadSoft Inc., a leading provider of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) application software, announced today that Global Connect A/S, a leading Danish telecom provider of fiber-optics-based services in Northern Europe, has chosen a BroadSoft-Rodopi integrated solution to provide wholesale and retail VoIP services throughout Denmark and parts of Sweden and Germany. Rodopi OSS provisions and bills GlobalConnect's offerings - Hosted PBX, SIP Trunking and white-label retail VoIP - all delivered on the latest version of BroadSoft's BroadWorks® application platform.
GlobalConnect provides carrier-class network infrastructure solutions for the communications industry, large enterprises, government agencies and resellers.

Global Connect will launch its new IP services for enterprise and wholesale residential users in the coming weeks
