Business Wire
Comverse, a subsidiary of Comverse Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: CMVT),
and the world's leading supplier of software and systems enabling
network-based multimedia enhanced communication and billing
services, today announced the launch of its Quad Play Suite, a
pre-integrated package combining IPTV middleware with fixed-mobile
voice and video communication applications. Quad Play Suite
provides a quick and cost-effective way for service providers to
enter the quad play market, grow revenues and increase customer
loyalty. The Comverse Quad Play Suite enables alternative
fixed-line carriers, ISPs, MVNOs and other service providers to
offer subscribers seamless access to personalized communication,
entertainment and information services from a variety of devices,
including fixed and mobile phones, TVs, and PCs. The comprehensive
pre-integrated solution supports: Live TV, Video on Demand, NPVR,
fixed/mobile telephony and video communication, instant messaging,
presence, interactive video services, media center connectivity,
digital rights management, integrated billing and rating, and more.
The flexible offering enables service providers to create
innovative personalized service bundles that match their
subscribers' lifestyles. Based on Comverse's proven Netcentrex(TM)
MyCall(R) voice and video over IP technology, the Quad Play Suite
uses IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) architecture to enable seamless
service convergence across wireless, wireline and cable networks.
"While the potential of Triple and Quad Play to generate long-term
profitability has been widely recognized, adoption has been limited
by the high initial investment and complex integration of different
components. The pre-integrated Quad Play Suite is designed to lower
the entry barrier to the quad play market, making it easy and
cost-effective for service providers to start offering quad play
services today," states Olivier Hersent, CTO of Netcentrex
Converged IP Communications, Comverse. "Our Quad Play solution
enables service providers to increase revenues and customer loyalty
by providing innovative bundles of personalized lifestyle services
that can capture a greater share of the subscriber's communication
and entertainment wallet." "Quad Play creates a stronger business
case than Triple Play," said Tom Valovic, Program Director, IDC.
"Consumers want personalized entertainment and communication
services over any fixed or mobile network. Success for service
providers therefore lies in the ability to offer bundles of IPTV,
voice, video and mobility in packages designed for users personal
interests and usage patterns." Live demos of the Quad Play Suite
will be shown at the Comverse stand (#2.115) at IBC 2006 in
Amsterdam, September 8-12. About Comverse Converged IP
