| Siemens' SURPASS Next-Generation IP-Based Softswitch Platform Siemens Communications announces that its SURPASS next-generation Internet Protocol (IP)-based softswitch platform has helped its customer, Cablevision Systems Corporation, sign up one million subscribers to the company's VoIP service, called Optimum Voice, in less than three years. Cablevision is the largest cable services provider in the greater New York area, with more than three million cable television customers. Siemens' SURPASS platform supports multiple network configurations and has the capacity to support up to 150.000 subscribers in a single softswitch. With rapid feature development capabilities, Cablevision has been able to deliver a rich and growing feature set to subscribers of its flat-rate $34.95 Optimum Voice service, including a web portal so customers can manage their accounts and features themselves. This offers users more control over their telephony services with greater convenience and less reliance on traditional customer service contacts and assistance. Cablevision chose Siemens' SURPASS platform in 2003 to help drive an aggressive deployment of Optimum Voice throughout its service area. The first major cable company to deploy VoIP across its entire service area, Cablevision continues to be an industry leader. With Siemens' highly reliable SURPASS platform enabling Cablevision to deliver E911, one-third of the company's cable television customers and more than half of its high-speed Internet customers have already chosen Optimum Voice. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Networking News :: home page |
