BroadWorks Offers the Only Platform to Fulfill Carrier Requirements for Scale, Features, and Regulatory Support
Gaithersburg, MD, January 20, 2004 -- BroadSoft® Inc., the leading provider of hosted communications platforms, today announced a new feature package for the globally deployed BroadWorks® platform, to deliver a market-proven VoIP solution for residential and small-office-home-office (SOHO) broadband users. For the first time, BroadWorks enables carriers to quickly enter the VoIP residential market by providing a single platform solution that meets the scalability and full range of regulatory requirements necessary for primary line service.
With the largest market share in the hosted communications space, BroadWorks offers the following advantages to support residential VoIP services over broadband:
• The only platform on the market that meets all regulatory requirements for primary line service, including E911, lawful intercept (e.g., CALEA), equal access, operator services, and local number portability;
• All standard services plus voice messaging on one platform, with the most advanced feature set including web-based management, find me/follow me, visual voice-mail, and simultaneous ring;
• A turnkey, off-the-shelf application with significantly lower time to market intervals compared to toolkit solutions that require custom development;
• Carrier-class scalability to support millions of users for retail and wholesale deployments.
