Aventure Selects TaquaWorks and BroadSoft
(Wireless News Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
Taqua, a supplier of next-generation end-office switching systems and
technologies, and BroadSoft, a provider of VoIP application software,
announced that Iowa-based Aventure Communications Technology, has
chosen the two companies TaquaWorks network transformation solution to
replace its existing Class 4/5 softswitch and deliver enhanced voice
services to rural subscribers over a three-state region.
TaquaWorks is a tightly integrated communications solution that
includes the Taqua 7000 Switching System (T7000) and BroadSoft s
BroadWorks suite of advanced voice applications. The TaquaWorks
solution set is being integrated into Aventure s wireless broadband
Internet service offering to provide voice and data communications
services to rural subscribers in northwestern Iowa, South Dakota and
Nebraska.
We chose TaquaWorks because we believe it provides users with the most
advanced communications features, and at the same time allows us to
deploy a switching architecture that inherently provides a higher
degree of reliability than other next-gen switch options, said Dana
Greeno, chief technical officer at Aventure Communications Technology.
The T7000 s switch-on-a-card architecture allows us to economically pay
as we grow our services, while also providing a high degree of
reliability with this simpler architecture. Also, our end-user
customers will receive functionality that goes beyond industry-normal
portal subscriber management, through TaquaWorks tight integration of
BroadSoft s industry-leading BroadWorks applications set.
TaquaWorks provides the best of both worlds for service providers such
as Aventure, said Scott Weidenfeller, chief marketing officer at Taqua.
On one hand, Aventure gets peace of mind thanks to the solution s
five-nines reliability, full solution support and integration by Taqua.
At the same time, Aventure s customers now have access to the same
advanced voice and collaborative features that are deployed by 7 of the
10 largest service providers in the world. TaquaWorks is the only
platform that can provide such a best-in-class, fully integrated
solution.
Incumbent and competitive carriers of all sizes are showing strong
interest in our TaquaWorks joint product offering, said Leslie Ferry,
vice president of marketing for BroadSoft. Aventure is a perfect
example of how a competitive carrier can use innovative technology to
deliver leading-edge TaquaWorks services to its subscribers, whether in
an urban or a rural area.
