DigitalBridge Builds Bridge between
VoIP and WiMAX
DigitalBridge Communications (DBC) has expanded its portfolio to provide
voice service via its high-speed wireless Internet network. The initiative
makes its service one of the few commercially available VoIP services
provided over a WiMAX network in the U.S. DBC now extends voice service to
15 markets in Idaho, Indiana, Montana, South Dakota, Virginia, and
Wyoming. DBC is a telecom service provider using WiMAX to deliver
broadband services to underserved communities.
The
company says that it was one of the first providers to launch a fixed and
portable WiMAX service using the Alvarion BreezeMAX platform. DBC also
recently deployed the first commercially available mobile WiMAX network
using WiMAX Forum-certified equipment in the U.S. in June of 2008 with a
launch in Jackson, Wyoming and the greater Jackson Hole area.
"DBC is
proud to be leading the way again with our launch of WiMAX voice Internet
service in the U.S.," said Kelley Dunne, CEO of DBC. "On the heels of
DBC's highly successful launch of the first mobile WiMAX offering, it is
clear there is a strong appetite across the U.S. for 4G services. DBC is
accelerating its product roadmap delivery to meet this growing customer
demand."
DBC's
voice capability enhances its fixed high-speed wireless Internet service
by enabling customers to easily upgrade for greater value. It is
exclusively available for use with BridgeMAXX high speed Internet. Selling
under the BridgeMAXX brand, the new voice service is offered for a price
of $29.99 per month. Similar to the Internet service, customers can
install their service on their own in a matter of minutes, the company
says.
The DBC
BridgeMAXX voice service uses Alianza's hosted voice platform providing
feature sets for residential and business customers. The platform features
an intuitive interface that consolidates the entire VoIP services
lifecycle and all its disparate systems and processes with seamless
back-office integration and parallel business process optimization.
