In the process of offering high standard telecommunication services to the people of Jamaica, Cable & Wireless (News - Alert) Jamaica has proved to be a paramount operator with world class standards. BroadWorks deployment will enable Cable & Wireless Jamaica to deliver comprehensive range of VoIP applications, including hosted PBX, IP Centrex, mobile PBX (News - Alert), business trunking and residential broadband services fully integrated into a single VoIP application platform to small-and medium-sized enterprises across Jamaica.

Creating a greater impact to the world of communication by their VoIP application software, BroadSoft empowers wireless, wireline and cable carriers to deliver next-generation voice and multimedia applications and advanced features that enable them to increase revenue, enhance competitive differentiation and elevate customer satisfaction. BroadSoft's BroadWorks has a comprehensive reach for all aspects of the provider's business - enterprise, mobile, residential and broadband.

"To be competitive, it's essential for today's operators to include VoIP in their suite of services," said Rodney Davis, CEO of Cable & Wireless Jamaica. "The high-quality and feature-rich BroadWorks platform eases the transition to VoIP without the need for significant additional network investment. Because we can now offer VoIP without the need for capital equipment expenditures, we reduce costs while offering the services our small and medium business customers are demanding."

Ensuring secured connectivity, the multi-location businesses will function more efficiently enabling them to connect their equipment to BroadWorks over any form of IP connectivity and gain the benefits of IP without transitioning to a fully hosted solution.
