The interoperability of the RTX WLL with the advanced telephony features of

the BroadWorks platform will bring VoIP to emerging markets as part of a

cost-effective alternative to traditional communications network infrastructure.

The WLL solution from RTX Products enables businesses to connect an existing

fibre optic or copper cable network to an IP- and Digital Enhanced Cordless

Telecommunications (DECT) -based wireless network.

"We have been convinced for a long time of the value of WLL as a

fast-track solution to bring communications access to users in areas which would

be either impossible or extremely costly to service with traditional wiring and

infrastructure," says Jens Toftgaard Petersen, VP RTX.

The combination of our WLL solution with BroadWorks not only enables us to

open up communications to a new generation of users in parts of the world where

the infrastructure limitations hinder communications, but to simultaneously

offer advanced call functionality that would normally be associated with highly

evolved networks."

Scott Wharton, VP Marketing, BroadSoft said, "Together with RTX, we have

created a single value proposition enabling service providers to offer a

sophisticated suite of call applications to residential and business customers

over a dependable connection for the first time, thereby unearthing the value in

communications that has until now been dormant in many markets."

The BroadWorks VoIP call features provided over the RTX WLL system can be

accessed nationwide in both remote and densely populated areas. With no limits

to the size of the infrastructure and requiring no detailed frequency and

network planning, the RTX WLL system is DECT-based allowing it to scale up to

millions of subscribers incrementally as required. The BroadWorks platform

complements this technology with rich applications such as remote office,

simultaneous ring, selective call forwarding and complete integration with the

user's Microsoft contact list.
