Atreus Systems’ xAuthority allows carriers to create, provision and deliver customer-centric VoIP/IP services. As VoIP becomes commoditized, Atreus believes that carriers will need to retain customers by bundling IP services. xAuthority helps providers respond quickly to customer demand with an array of IP services, including voice, messaging, access and desktop applications.

In 2004, xAuthority was deployed by Tier 1 and 2 carriers, including TELUS, Aliant Telecom and Xspedius. Atreus has signed OEMs with leaders Ericsson, SAIC and Telcordia.
