BOSTON, Voice on the Net (VON), Oct. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- NetCentrex(TM),
the leading enabler of converged voice-video-data networks and next-generation
services, and HomeNet Communications, a pioneer in iTPP(TM) (integrated Triple
Play Provider) voice, video and data services, announced today that HomeNet
Communications will use the NetCentrex MyCall(R) VoIP component of the
NetCentrex IPlay3(TM) residential voice and video communications solution to
deliver Voice over IP (VoIP) services to HomeNet's iProvo (Provo, Utah)
subscribers.
In an initial win for the partners, HomeNet Communications was selected as
iProvo's first service provider. HomeNet will offer iProvo-connected homes and
businesses its HomeNet integrated triple play services (phone, television and
Internet) at speeds up to 100 megabits per second (100Mbps) and at a cost
equal to or less than what it currently costs for services offered today by
traditional providers.
"Provo City is pleased at HomeNet's announcement and launch of its
integrated retail services over the iProvo network," said Provo Mayor Lewis K.
Billings. "The iProvo project is well on its way to becoming a key community
resource, and we are delighted to have HomeNet Communications play such a key
role."
After the initial iProvo win, HomeNet Communications and NetCentrex
anticipate expanding to other broadband markets by hosting telephony services
for additional fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) markets. The iProvo win confirms
HomeNet's success and commitment to be a leading triple play ASP for FTTH
markets.
HomeNet has selected the MyCall(R) VoIP component of the NetCentrex
IPlay3(TM) residential voice and video communications solution to deliver
feature-rich telephone service to its subscribers and provide cost-effective,
turnkey voice services to residential users via FTTH broadband connections.
"The MyCall residential VoIP solution that is part of NetCentrex' IPlay3
voice and video platform is the obvious choice for any service provider
planning to host multiple VoIP and video services from a central platform,
thanks to its well-proven scalability and multi-tenant provisioning," said
Kelly Ryan, chief executive officer of HomeNet Communications. "HomeNet
Communications expects to deploy 300,000 lines in the next 2 to 3 years."
Alain Fernando-Santana, NetCentrex chief executive officer, added that
"HomeNet Communications is another example of the continuing trend of service
providers and municipalities choosing a modular platform that is proven to be
capable of delivering scalable advanced IP services to the home. NetCentrex is
pleased to have its MyCall solution be part of the HomeNet Communications
strategy."
Triple Play Demo Available
NetCentrex will demo its complete IPlay3 integrated triple play platform,
utilizing MyCall Residential as the VoIP component, at Fall VON in Boston,
October 18-21. NetCentrex and HomeNet Communications executives will be
available in booth #819 for discussions.
