Tango Networks� Abrazo Achieves Validated Interoperability with BroadSoft BroadWorks

RICHARDSON, TX, AUGUST 26, 2008 � Tango Networks (News - Alert)�, the leader in seamless enterprise fixed-mobile convergence for unified communications, today announced the completion of interoperability testing with BroadSoft (News - Alert) BroadWorks®.

BroadSoft�s service provider customer base can now offer a complete fixed-mobile convergence solution for enterprises that extends the BroadWorks suite of value-added services to any mobile device. Combining Tango Networks� Abrazo� with BroadWorks, operators can extend their mobile services into the enterprise, opening the door to enterprise-wide agreements, reducing customer support demands, decreasing churn, and growing market share. The Abrazo�s unique hybrid architecture integrates with existing enterprise voice network infrastructures while extending BroadWorks� features and policies to any mobile phone with or without the use of a corresponding desk phone, to address the needs of the increasingly mobile workforce.

�BroadSoft is a key partner to many of our mobile operator customers, making interoperability with the BroadWorks product a key strategic initiative for us,� stated Andrew Silver, chief technology officer and co-founder of Tango Networks. "By offering Abrazo integrated with BroadWorks, operators can deliver a robust FMC option that mobilizes the powerful features of the BroadWorks hosted communications solution for any mobile phone.�

�Prior to Tango, fixed-mobile convergence was a niche product with both device and feature limitations,� said Ken Rokoff, Vice President of Business Development at BroadSoft. �However, the integration of Abrazo with BroadWorks provides a highly compelling solution, enabling mobile operators worldwide to offer the power of fixed-mobile convergence for enterprise.�
