BroadSoft

Class 5 Migration

Service providers are modernizing their legacy networks by moving to an all-IP based infrastructure due to:

• Subscriber loss to wireless, cable, and FTTx services
• Successful integrated access business offerings from the competition
• End-of-Life and End-of-Support of TDM Class 5 Switches
• Innovative services via Web 2.0 voice integrations for higher revenues and lower subscriber churn
• Green initiatives to realize lower power consumption vs. Legacy Class 5 switches

BroadSoft offers two different solutions tailored for the individual carrier’s business needs.

Class 5 Overlay

To prolong the life of Class 5 switches, BroadSoft offers a solution called Class 5 Overlay, or TDM Overlay. Class 5 switches' call processing is re-homed to the BroadWorks platform, while the Class 5 switch continues to provide connectivity to the legacy subscribers. This enables service providers to deliver enhanced feature sets, fixed mobile convergence (FMC) applications, and Web 2.0 voice mash-ups to legacy subscribers, without requiring broadband access.
