NewStep Networks says it has deployed with its first major telephone carrier customer, which it declined to name, the ability to switch calls between cell and wireline phones with a one-button transfer.
CTO Andre Moskal said the service provider, which initially targeted the feature at enterprise users, began deploying the NewStep technology in June and aims to deliver services based on that technology in all of its markets.
NewStep’s CSN server-based software platform converges services across diverse networks to enable subscribers to have a single number, single voice mail, simultaneous ringing across multiple phones, and other features like corporate extension dialing, from the mobile phones they use today. By extending traditional desktop PBX phone capabilities to today’s mobile phones, and allowing the easy transfer of calls between fixed and mobile phones, users get a more consistent, simplified communications experience at a lower cost, and service providers are able to deliver a higher value bundle of fixed-mobile services, according to the company.
