Atlanta, GA: October 24, 2007. TelcoTV. MetaSwitch, a leading vendor of
carrier-class softswitch and application solutions, and Minerva Networks, a leading provider of
open-platform, carrier-class solutions for the delivery of television services over IP networks, will
be demonstrating a joint application that will allow carriers to increase customer control of their
digital telephony services through a television interface.
"Carriers are continuously seeking new ways to generate revenue and
increase their subscriber base by providing compelling new applications," said Matt Cuson,
vice president of marketing for Minerva. "Adding the robust suite of MetaSwitch applications
to our comprehensive software platform provides broadband users with the full power and benefits
of advanced IPTV services."
Seamlessly blending VoIP, legacy TDM and next-generation telephony
applications, customers will be able to view and access web-based contacts on their television
sets, as well as take advantage of click-to-dial features via their remote controls.
The combined solution incorporates the enhanced services of
MetaSwitch CommPortal, a fully customizable subscriber interface, with Minerva iTVManager.
With converged IP telephony and video, service providers can increase revenue
opportunities from existing customers, as well as offer a compelling advantage when
pursuing new customers in an increasingly competitive subscriber market.
"This is another instance of MetaSwitch choosing a
top-notch partner to jointly deliver an innovative service to customers," said
Andrew Randall, vice president of marketing at MetaSwitch. "This collaboration
is a critical part of our efforts to ensure that service providers are able to
quickly deploy highly scalable next-generation solutions."
The combined MetaSwitch and Minerva solution will be demonstrated
at the TelcoTV Conference and Expo in booth 450 at the Georgia World Congress Center.
The Expo floor is open to show attendees Wednesday, Oct. 24
through Thursday, Oct. 25.
