We’re responding to operator demand, says firm
Privately-held and US-headquartered BroadSoft, which has been providing wholesale VoIP applications to fixed-line operator customers for over ten years, has announced this week in Barcelona that it now has service for mobile operators as well.
Dubbed the BroadWorks Mobility Suite, BroadSoft says the new product offers a comprehensive set of mobile features for its flagship BroadWorks Application Server platform. The suite will also work with LTE and WiMAX – as well as today’s 2G and 3G networks – adds BroadSoft.
“By offering mobile VoIP as part of a packaged service, mobile operators can increase ARPU,” Leslie Ferry, VP of BroadSoft marketing, told Mobile Europe.
BroadSoft has around 450 customers, including KPN, Korea Telecom, Qwest, SingTel, Sprint, Swisscom, Telefonica, Telstra, T-Systems and Verizon. The firm charges its operator customers an upfront licence fee, which boosts the balance sheet.
“We’re profitable by net income and we don’t need any additional funding for expansion,” adds Ferry.
