Columbus’s retail asset in Trinidad, Flow, is the leading communications provider in the country with a customer base of over 200,000 households offering video, internet and voice services. Using the MINT Platform, Columbus is able to seamlessly unify various existing phone systems to deliver calling, voicemail, address book and calling history across tablets, smartphones and personal computers. The implementation was completed as planned in January 2012 and has since been in market trial with customers of Columbus’ retail operator, Flow Trinidad. “We’re excited by the opportunity to capitalize on the power of this platform, quickly delivering our innovative services to new devices,” said Rhea Yaw Ching, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Columbus Communications. “Thus far, our market trial has progressed extremely well as we ready for this market launch, an industry-first.” “People are now talking about voice-apps as the missed trend in the tablet and smartphone space in 2011,” said Gemini Waghmare, CEO of UXP Systems. “We view the multiscreen extension of voice and messaging as having the same importance as video and an even greater opportunity to unify those services via the UXP Systems platform. The Flow deployment will be the first of several such deployments we expect to see in 2012.” The Flow multiscreen service is slated for full market launch in May 2012, and will feature multiscreen calling, messaging and cable TV listings.
