Internode Leverages BroadWorks VoIP Platform to Expand Service
Offerings to Residential and Business Customers
Adelaide, Australia & Gaithersburg, MD -- BroadSoft, Inc., a leading
provider of VoIP application software, and Internode, an Australian
broadband trailblazer, announced today the launch of NodePhone2,
Internode's second generation VoIP service. Using BroadSoft's
BroadWork s® VoIP application platform, NodePhone2 delivers
high-quality, two-way broadband voice services to residential and
business customers throughout Australia. |

The second generation
of VoIP services under Internode's NodePhone brand, NodePhone2 enables
customers to receive high-quality calls from the traditional Public
Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), in addition to making outbound VoIP
calls to the PSTN and other NodePhone customers. The comprehensive
service includes such features as voicemail, speed dial, caller ID,
and a Web portal customers can use to access itemized billing
information and call history.
NodePhone2 is available both as an individual service and as part of
flexible service packages that combine voice and broadband services.
NodePhone1, Internode's original outbound-only VoIP calling service,
will remain available as a separate service. Internode plans
additional future developments in its NodePhone service range,
underpinned by the BroadWorks platform. Internode is using Acme
Packet, a BroadSoft Premier Access Solutions partner, for session
border controllers for NodePhone2.
Internode Managing Director Simon Hackett said the BroadWorks platform
was second to none. "Its scalability gives us a clear path to adding
more services -- a key factor of our business strategy -- and its
functionality enables us to offer a feature-rich service with
guaranteed quality and reliability at a competitive price. What's
more, BroadSoft is a key driver in what we see as the eventual
migration of traditional telephone service to a telephony world
dominated by VoIP," said Hackett.
"Internode is all about quality. Not only is NodePhone2 a high-quality
VoIP solution that's grounded in traditional PSTN standards, but
Internode is setting a new benchmark in Australia by using its
national private network backbone to achieve the ultimate in quality,"
said Scott Wharton, vice president of Marketing for BroadSoft. "By
expanding its service offerings to residential and business customers,
Internode is positioning itself to significantly grow its market
share."
"With over 100 common customers, Acme Packet and BroadSoft have
extensive experience deploying premier VoIP solutions for large and
small service providers around the globe," said Seamus Hourihan, Acme
Packet's vice president of marketing and product management. "Our
joint solution for Internode's NodePhone2 service brings together the
necessary and elegant features of BroadSoft Broadworks with the
service-enabling and security features of our Net-Net session border
controllers."
