BroadSoft Launches Custom Ringback Tones and Adds Rich Media
Capabilities for Service Providers
BroadSoft Turns "Plain Old Ringing" that Incoming
Callers Hear into
Customizable Music, Audio, and Video Clips for Enterprise and Residential
Users
GAITHERSBURG, MD, September 20, 2005 - BroadSoft, the leading
provider of VoIP application software, announced today that the
BroadSoft® BroadWorks® VoIP application platform now enables
fixed line and wireless service providers to further differentiate
their services and increase average revenue per user (ARPU) by offering
custom (or color) ringback tones to their enterprise and residential
subscribers. Ringback tones are customizable clips of recorded music,
video, or other personalized audio content that incoming callers
hear while they wait for their call to be answered.
Extending a service that is growing in popularity on wireless phones
worldwide to traditional fixed line telephones, BroadSoft enables
users to create a highly differentiated and customized calling experience.
Custom ringback tones can consist of traditional music tones, or
personalized messages. Custom ringback tones allow enterprises to
leverage and extend their branding, promotional, and advertising
initiatives. Through audio or video messages, enterprises can play
marketing soundbites, advertisements, and a standard company signature
as ringback tones.
"The custom ringback tone capability is fully integrated into
the BroadWorks VoIP application platform, allowing for quick time
to market and ease of implementation on the part of service providers
worldwide," said Scott Wharton, VP Marketing of BroadSoft.
"As a SIP-based platform, the BroadWorks application allows
service providers to offer new and innovative multimedia services
that cannot be replicated on today's PSTN."
BroadSoft will demonstrate the BroadWorks custom ringback tone
feature with content provided by Zingy (www.zingy.com), a leading
provider of ringtones and custom ringback tones, at Fall Von 2005
in Boston, MA September 19-22 in booth 408.
