Choice One Selects Lucent Technologies to Provide Next-Generation Voice over Internet Protocol -VoIP- Solutions

Choice One Communications and Lucent Technologies today announced that Choice One is the first wireline service provider in the United States to trial Lucent's newest Accelerate(TM) Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) solution in preparation to offer VoIP services to clients across its markets.

The new Lucent Accelerate(TM) solution paves the way for Choice One to offer its clients access to the same types of IP Centrex VoIP functionality traditionally available only to large enterprises through PBX systems, such as Web-based integrated business features that allow customers to manage their voice services via their computers using broadband connectivity.

The expanded Lucent Accelerate(TM) solution for the enterprise market is the result of a cooperative relationship that combines the power of the BroadSoft(R) BroadWorks(R) network communications platform and Lucent Softswitch and Lucent gateways. Lucent and BroadSoft today announced a strategic relationship to expand Lucent's VoIP solutions for next generation networks (see separate release).

Together, the scalability and reliability of the Lucent Softswitch and the extensive set of features on the BroadWorks product, meet service providers' requirements to serve any business customer, regardless of size.

"The Lucent softswitch solution will enable Choice One to offer new VoIP features to clients over their existing broadband connections," said Robert Bailey, senior vice president of technology for Choice One Communications. "Importantly, the Lucent softswitch will interface with our existing Lucent switching platform. This will allow Choice One to deploy the softswitch technology to complement the capacity and functionality of our existing Class 5 switches."

"The trial will allow Choice One to begin development of new differentiated services and applications, such as web collaboration and multimedia services to meet client demands, while efficiently using existing Class 5 resources," said Gerry Cafaro, vice president of sales for Lucent Technologies.

The Choice One trial includes the Lucent Softswitch, EBS Communication Manager and Universal gateways, as well as the BroadSoft BroadWorks network communications platform. Business communications services supported by the solution include hosted IP PBX, IP Centrex, voice VPN and web-based multimedia services.

Lucent Worldwide Services is providing engineering, installation and network integration services.
