DSLi LAUNCHES NEW VONAGE-TYPE SERVICE
TO CONSUMER AND BUSINESS MARKETS USING BROADSOFT'S BROADWORKS
DSLi Jolts Market with Lower Prices and Superior
Business Feature Set
GAITHERSBURG, MD, October 21, 2003 -- BroadSoft® Inc.,
the leading provider of hosted communications platforms, and DSLi,
a leading-edge integrated communications provider, today announced
that DSLi has deployed BroadSoft's BroadWorks® platform to take
broadband, voice over the Internet Protocol (VOIP) services to a
new level. Available worldwide today, DSLi's new Virtual Office
Exchange (Vox3) broadband VOIP services include bundled local and
long distance packages starting at $9.95 and a full set of enhanced
voice features for small businesses.
In addition to providing some of the world's most competitive long
distance rates, with DSLi's Vox3 service, international users also
get a physical mailing address in the United States. With this US
presence, international users can receive packages, mail and other
items such as publications and have them cleared through their countries'
customs offices and delivered to their home location.
"BroadSoft's BroadWorks platform allows DSLi to beat Vonage
in terms of price, quality of service and feature richness."
said Mario M. Bustamante, CEO of DSLi. "With BroadWorks, we
were able to quickly deploy a service that supports lower costs
for consumers, all the applications valued by business users, and
the ability to resell branded services to other carriers that will
scale to millions of subscribers."
BroadSoft's BroadWorks platform enables DSLi to compete against
other market leading, broadband VOIP service providers, like Vonage,
with the following additional benefits.
- A comprehensive range of business applications including hosted
PBX and unified messaging features.
- Multi-language support for service deployments worldwide.
- An easy to use web-branding wizard to support a wholesale service
to other carriers and channels.
- Compatibility with traditional telephones, SIP phones and many
SIP soft clients including MSN Messenger.
- The reliability, redundancy, and regulatory capabilities required
to scale service to millions of subscribers.
"BroadSoft's BroadWorks platform gives service providers the
flexibility to quickly target new markets with advanced, reliable
and quality services," said Mike Tessler, president and CEO
of BroadSoft. "By using BroadWorks, DSLi raises the bar for
quality that residential and small business customers can expect
from a broadband VOIP service provider. Furthermore, BroadWorks
lets DSLi extend into the wholesale market by reselling to carriers
that want their own branded service but don't want to build it."
