Integra5 Partners with Solusoft to Provide Converged Quad Play Applications to Service Providers in the Caribbean and Central American Regions

Companies to deliver proven revenue-enhancing cross-platform applications like TV/PC Caller ID, Message Waiting Indication and Call Log on TV/PC

BURLINGTON, Mass., Sept. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Integra5, the pioneer in blending quad play bundles into converged services for simultaneous delivery across TVs and PCs, and Solusoft, a Panama-based IT consulting firm, today announced a partnership to deliver Integra5-provided converged applications to telecom and cable operators in the Caribbean and Central American regions.

Under the agreement, Solusoft is reselling Integra5's Converged Services Platform (i5 CSP) and i-Communicate applications, including TV Caller ID, PC Caller ID, Message Waiting Indication, Call Log on TV/PC and SMS to TV/PC, along with its own suite of network assessment, implementation and integration services. This combination offers service providers a comprehensive, turnkey converged services solution to accelerate the time-to-market for these products throughout the Caribbean and Central America.

After extensive analysis of the converged service opportunity in its markets, Solusoft is already in discussion with multiple service providers about using Integra5 applications to blend their triple and quad play bundles. Solusoft's first Integra5 deployment will take place in October, when a Panama-based triple play provider launches TV Caller ID.

"Due to increased industry competition, advances with IPTV and growing consumer demand for triple and quad play services, the timing is perfect for the introduction of converged applications like TV Caller ID into the markets we serve," said Mario Typaldos, chief executive officer of Solusoft. "We are excited to partner with Integra5, the leader in converged services, to bring the revenue, customer loyalty and competitive differentiation benefits to our service provider customers."

Integra5's IMS-compatible i5 CSP features patented technology and is based on a distributed, network-based architecture so it requires no truck rolls or new in-home hardware. The architecture enables delivery of real-time converged content and communications across voice, video, data and wireless services. Standards-based and highly scalable, the i5 CSP supports up to millions of subscribers and provides application-level personalization across multiple set-top boxes, PCs and telephone lines within the home.

"Solusoft's 17 years of providing customers with consulting and technology services make the company an ideal partner as we expand Integra5's global footprint," said Integra5 CEO Meredith Flynn-Ripley. "Our products have proven to increase revenues and provide competitive differentiation for service providers both abroad and in the U.S., and we look forward to leveraging Solusoft's distribution channel to bring these advantages to a wider array of customers throughout the Caribbean and Central America."
