While maintaining an interface with the PSTN, the PsipTN powered by TelTel is designed to enable a new generation of SIP-based applications and services, and create new revenue opportunities for service providers and application developers. Unlike a traditional PSTN that only handles voice traffic, the new SIP-based virtual network is capable of carrying voice, multimedia, and audio/video content. TelTel is also using the SIP protocol to enable TelTel users, service providers, application developers, and product vendors to join together to take advantage of SIP capabilities to enable communication and commerce. By taking advantage of the open SIP standard, new value-added services and products will be regularly available to TelTel’s rapidly growing community. The new platform provide numerous commerce and co-branding opportunities such as customizable softphones and web pages, billing, call center, and provisioning applications, as well as information/entertainment media channels for devices and services. For example, an Internet service provider can offer customers VoIP calls under their own brand and use PsipTN to route the calls and provide billing services. Additionally, vendors can offer their customers TelTel Ready™ handsets and personalized ring tones. “The goal of TelTel is to fulfill the great potential of the open SIP standard.” said Benedict Tse, VP of Product Management of TelTel. “PsipTN creates an environment that fosters and facilitates innovation, as well as revenue potential for developers and service providers.” About TelTel: TelTel provides global Internet telephony services on the TelTel managed, SIP-based PsipTN™ network, capable of carrying voice, media, contents, and a variety of hosted services while providing interoperability with numerous IP end points.
