Agility
Network Services Platform Extended to Enable Creation
and Delivery of Voice VPN, Pre-Paid, Conferencing,
and Voice Messaging Applications Based on 3GPP IMS
Standard
CTIA Wireless, Atlanta, GA. -
March 22, 2004 - BayPackets, Inc., a provider
of converged platforms and applications for wireless,
wireline and cable operators, today announced that
it has extended the capabilities of its Agility Network
Services Platform (NSP) to incorporate the 3GPP (IP
Multimedia Subsystem) IMS standard. In addition to
full support of SS7 and SIP, the Agility NSP supports
wireless protocols including WIN and CAMEL and interfaces
with network-based location and presence servers.
By adding support for key wireless standards, mobile
carriers can now leverage BayPackets' converged platform
to bundle and deploy advanced voice and data services
on their TDM, VoIP, or Wireless network infrastructure.
"This opens up a whole new realm of possibilities
for wireless service providers and mobile virtual
network operators," said Ken Epps, President
and CEO of BayPackets. "Carriers can now utilize
the advanced routing and messaging capabilities available
through BayPackets' Agility Network Services Platform
to provide highly relevant, customized services such
as mobile VPN, pre-paid, conferencing, find-me, follow-me,
real-time call routing, and visual voicemail to their
customers. In today's heated telecom market, these
targeted services are an important differentiator
for service providers."
BayPackets' converged platform integrates with wireless
service providers' presence and location servers,
enabling carriers to deliver real-time and location-based
services. For example, a mobile operator can route
calls to a person's home, work, cell or desktop soft
phone, depending upon where the subscriber is located.
They can also deliver advanced location-based services
built by BayPackets' Independent Software Vendor (ISV)
partners for vertical industry segments such as transportation,
fleet management, field service, and sales force automation
as well as integrated services such as a wireless/wireline
VPN solution available to a mobile operator's enterprise
customers.
"Voice application servers are highly desired
by carriers as platforms to create and deliver the
crux of next gen voice networks: new applications
and services," said Kevin Mitchell, Directing
Analyst, Service Provider Networks & Next Gen
Voice at Infonetics Research. "As competition
intensifies in telecom, the ability to customize and
rapidly deploy services tailored to the needs of customers
will be key to outpacing competitive threats."
BayPackets' Agility NSP, which enables PSTN connectivity
through an SS7 interface and next-generation connectivity
through a SIP interface, can be deployed as a next-generation
Service Control Point (SCP) or as an application server
in a carrier's network. The platform's full-featured
service creation environment also enables carriers
to use JAIN and Parlay and develop and deploy their
own advanced services that work on wireless, VOIP,
and TDM networks. Additionally, because it is an open
standards-based platform, the Agility NSP supports
deployments of third-party applications across carrier
networks.
